So that you have energy to "push". My mother in law 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 you need, only sip a little".
My MIL told me too. She said is to keep us alert with enengy during the labour.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?
heheheheancing_wub:
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. )My mother in law told me too. She said is to keep us alert with enengy during the labour.
my mum oso said something abt opening things in the house b4 delivering but is not open windows, is to open the drawers in the house..mayb different dialect group..Hmmm.. anyone can verify whether is it effective?

Another friend told me to open all the doors in the house before going to hospital for easy delivering. (old folk tales.)
Ya.. tat's true also, no harm trying. I shall rember to pack some so as I can drink it in the labour ward. hehee...can't be verified thou mine was normal delivery. if it comes to no harm to the baby it is alright. i took coconut juice & chicken essence
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.my mum also said something about opening things in the house before delivering but is not open windows, is to open the drawers in the house..mayb different dialect group..
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 daysometime i was suspect whether is chicken essence really can helps or not. As a few time, I had one bottom cos I was sleepy during office hour but It's till dont make me feel alert.
Dont knw how accurate but before i go hospital, i did open up windows, wardrobe doors, bedroom door except house door. hehee...my dad also told me to remind my hubby to open up all the drawers when i go hospital.. hehehe...
so for chicken essence... can drink during any part of the pregnancy.. in my wk32 and sometimes i feel so lethargic.. can drink? anyway, i like to drink chicken essence, maybe one of the cravings also.. i dont't know.. hahaha
