Do I have to eat Snickers and drink Red Bull before giving birth? What is the best thing to eat before giving birth?

We all know that when a woman is more than nine months pregnant, she will reach the due date, which means she will give birth to a baby. There are usually some things to pay attention to before giving birth. Many pregnant mothers will eat something to fill their stomachs, such as Red Bull, Snickers, etc. So do pregnant women have to eat Snickers and drink Red Bull before giving birth? Let's take a closer look!

Is it necessary to eat Snickers and drink Red Bull before giving birth?

When pregnant mothers prepare their delivery bags, they will definitely refer to the opinions of experienced people on the Internet, among which they will find suggestions such as preparing Red Bull, Snickers, chocolate, etc. Before entering the delivery room, the doctor will also ask the family members to prepare some Red Bull and chocolate in case of emergency.

This is actually not necessary to prepare. You can replace it with something else that you like the flavor of. A little warm water or a light brown sugar water will be enough.

Before giving birth, you need to prepare certain foods to replenish your physical strength. Some pregnant women have a slower delivery process, which consumes more physical strength and requires more food to replenish their physical strength. It is not necessary to prepare Red Bull or Snickers, as long as it can replenish physical strength. Of course, Red Bull and Snickers chocolate are more convenient to carry and eat in the delivery room, so they are the first choice of food.

What foods are better to eat before giving birth?

Mothers can prepare Snickers/chocolate of different flavors according to their personal taste, but it is recommended to prepare some light-flavored bread, cake, milk, and sweet and sour fruits on the basis of chocolate. Not too much, and the doctor will not let you eat too much.

Every pregnant woman is different. Some pregnant women prefer sweet food, so Snickers and Red Bull are good choices; some pregnant women don’t like sweet food, so they can prepare some dark chocolate, which is also very effective.

If you search online for what to eat during childbirth, you will find that chocolate, Snickers, and Red Bull are all recommended. Doctors will also ask family members to prepare these things. Because these things are high in calories, do not take up space in the stomach, and can help mothers conserve their energy. In addition, some pregnant mothers feel so painful during contractions that they want to vomit. If they eat proper food, they may vomit everywhere.

But not every pregnant mother can bear sweet things. Therefore, pregnant mothers have to decide according to their own situation.

If you can't eat sweet things, don't prepare Snickers, it's too sweet. Don't prepare chocolate with cocoa butter substitutes, it's best to prepare pure dark chocolate, and you can prepare two bottles of Red Bull.

However, pregnant mothers should still follow their own taste. It is okay to eat fruits, as long as they are foods that can maintain physical strength. But usually they will feel too painful to eat, but they have to force themselves to eat a few bites even if they don’t want to, otherwise they will not be able to exert their strength when giving birth.

Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women who can eat sweets prepare two Snickers bars, and those who cannot eat sweets prepare pure dark chocolate. Two cans of Red Bull are enough. Fruits that can be metabolized, such as oranges, tangerines, cucumbers and other refreshing fruits plus a few small breads, are enough.

What should you pay attention to before giving birth?

1. Before giving birth, it is recommended that mothers do more exercise and walk more, which is conducive to the birth of the child. Pay more attention to leg muscle exercises to prevent cramps during delivery. One way is to squat down (not a deep squat), put the double axis between the legs and stretch it out. Another way I think is simpler is to sit cross-legged with your feet facing each other.

2. In the later stages of pregnancy, you also need to pay attention to controlling your diet to avoid the baby being too large and causing difficulties in delivery.

3. When waiting for delivery in the delivery room, walk instead of sitting, sit instead of lying down, which can speed up the birth of the baby. Whenever you walk and have a contraction, stop and use breathing techniques to relieve the pain, and try to relax your body. Don't walk if your water breaks.
