Is it really effective to drink honey water before delivery?

For many expectant mothers who are preparing to give birth, it is inevitable to feel nervous during the first delivery. Many people say that drinking honey water before giving birth can help with delivery. Is this theory true? The following article is a detailed reference for new mothers who are preparing to give birth.

For mothers and not yet mothers, they all know that the process of giving birth is very painful and unbearable, so everyone wants to shorten the labor process and reduce the pain of labor. This indicates that various methods to shorten the labor process have emerged. Among them, drinking honey before delivery can shorten the labor process. Is this true? Let's listen to the experts' explanation on this.

Drink honey water before delivery, drink jasmine tea before delivery, eat chocolate before delivery, these ideas are everywhere in various forums and websites, and I believe many expectant mothers have used them. In fact, the editor wants to tell you that these methods of shortening the labor process are actually for comfort, to give pregnant mothers more confidence during delivery, just like always reading a few pages of a book before an exam. It doesn’t actually have any effect, but it’s just to give yourself a hint and make you feel at ease.

Maybe many mothers say that they have tried drinking honey water and the labor process was indeed shortened. What I want to tell you is that this is because the main ingredient in honey is sugar, which can allow pregnant women to replenish energy and physical strength during delivery and help with childbirth. Therefore, drinking honey water before delivery is the same as eating calorie foods such as chocolate before delivery. It just helps pregnant women replenish their physical strength, but it does not have the magical effect of shortening the delivery process. Moreover, more than 80% of honey is sugar and more than 10% is water. In short, honey is a high-calorie food with a highly single nutritional value and is not a good health product.

The above is whether drinking honey water before delivery is really effective. In fact, it cannot be said that it has no effect. The substances contained in honey can make people excited and reduce pain. It is also helpful for delivery. On the eve of delivery, mothers can drink some honey water.
