Hi Ladies,

Just to ask, do you drink chicken essence before labour?
i heard something like before labour drink 2 bottles of chicken essence, what's the reason behind it?

So that you have energy to "push". My mil asked me to drink before i went to the hospital (contractions were 5 mins apart then), but i didn't as i had coconut juice (felt very bloated) before that. In the end i didn't get to drink it, coz the nurses said "no water from now on, if u need, only sip a little".

Hmmm.. anyone can verify whether is it effective? My hubby said to eat cod liver oil beforehand as it help easy delivering (being passed down by his grandmother. :p)

Another friend told me to open all the doors in the house before going to hospital for easy delivering. (old folk tales.)

Ya, everything with 'door/drawer' (e.g wardrobe door, windows) just open it up. That is what i hear from an auntie. Well, hoping & praying for smooth natural delivery, no harm trying all. :)

hahaha.. depends on individual also i guess.. they say coffee keeps you awake.. my hubby can slp even if he had 1 before sleep.. infact he had almost 4-5 cups a day
i also heard if you headache, warm chicken essence might help if you dun wan to take panadol

I didnt manage to drink chicken essense as my little one come unexpectedly. My whole delivery takes abt 4hrs+ though.
