I'm about to give birth, and I'm browsing through the shared wisdom of our moms on tips for giving birth both quickly and effortlessly. Oh my, it's like stepping into a treasure trove.
During the waiting period before giving birth, I have some free time to compile the shared experiences of moms who have gone before, so that future moms can easily refer to them without the hassle of searching!
Here it is, the complete set of secret tips for quick and easy childbirth shared by moms:
Secret Tip 1 - Drinking Vietnamese Perilla Leaves
Typically during labor pains or impending childbirth, people brew concentrated Vietnamese perilla leaf tea to drink. This helps to rapidly dilate the cervix.
Although Vietnamese perilla leaves have a somewhat challenging taste, I've seen my cousin quickly dilate her cervix by drinking it. Many people apply this method. Simply brew Vietnamese perilla leaves into regular tea. The thicker the concentration, the better. When you start experiencing labor pains or are about to give birth, ask your family to prepare the tea and pour it into a plastic or glass bottle. Let it cool and then drink continuously, about 0.5 - 1 liter. Only drink when you start experiencing labor pains or are about to give birth. Otherwise, it's not advisable to drink or consume too much Vietnamese perilla leaves as it can cause excessive cervix dilation. - Nick Bagiadethuong
Secret Tip 2 - Black Sesame Soup & Chinese Yam
During the final months of pregnancy, one can consume black sesame soup with Chinese yam flour to facilitate quicker and easier delivery. However, this must be done regularly from week 31 onwards, while Vietnamese perilla leaves should only be used when experiencing labor pains, so I chose Vietnamese perilla leaves for its speed. Being persistent and eating it every day from week 31 might be challenging for me - Nick Bagiadethuong
Secret Tip 3 - Eating Boiled Morning Glory
Doctor Nhung, the director of Hung Vuong Hospital, advised me during prenatal classes: one week before the expected due date, I should eat a plate of boiled morning glory every day to soften the cervix for easier natural childbirth, relieve constipation postpartum, and increase milk production. Combined with breathing techniques during contractions, it will reduce pain. I've personally seen results from applying these methods. Mothers, give it a try! - Nick kietnguyen2312
Secret Tip 4 - Drinking Iced Milk Coffee
Every mother has her own way. My grandmother's method is simply to drink a glass of iced milk coffee before going to give birth, and it works like magic. She's been using this method for all her 10 children, I wonder if anyone else's family uses the same method as mine. I also heard from Chinese people that eating a bowl of black sesame soup can make childbirth easier too... - Nick phuongdung0903
Secret Tip 5 - Drinking Warm Coconut Water
Let me share an experience from my eldest sister. When she felt like she was about to give birth, my sister bought a fresh coconut, cut off the top, and left the coconut intact. Then she placed it on the stove to heat the coconut water inside, and used a straw to slowly sip it while it was still hot.
I kept sipping and blowing to cool it down, then I ate two boiled eggs, I couldn't eat anymore. Because the cervix dilated quickly, and the labor pains intensified... Before drinking coconut water, the cervix was dilated 2 centimeters, but less than 30 minutes later, my baby safely arrived. During pregnancy, I also ate black sesame soup for the baby's benefit, and went for a walk in the morning to stay active. Sharing some experiences with mothers preparing for childbirth!

Secret Tip 6 - Eating Black Sesame and Black Sesame Soup
I also heard from my grandmother and mother that eating black sesame and black sesame soup will make childbirth quick and easy. So, I followed their advice, bought black sesame and had black sesame soup every day. My grandmother also roasted black sesame with sugar to make it sweeter and put it in a jar for me to eat gradually for over a month before giving birth. When I started having labor pains, I went to the hospital at noon and gave birth at 2:42 in the afternoon. When I arrived at the hospital, my cervix was only dilated 3 centimeters. After waiting in the delivery room for a while, the nurse checked and found that I was fully dilated and ready to give birth, so I was taken to the delivery room immediately. - Nick GiaAn12
Secret Tip 7 - Holding a Horse Fish
I already have two children, and I've used this method and helped many others. Everyone gave birth very quickly and almost all had normal deliveries! Mothers, give it a try! Buy a horse fish in advance, hold it in your hand when going into labor, hold it tightly. If you have to change clothes at the hospital, put it in your pocket. Then go to the delivery room as usual. After giving birth, you can take it home as a keepsake or soak it in alcohol for the village, but don't let others hold it during childbirth! Because it won't be effective for the next person. Dried horse fish are available in many Chinese medicine shops! Giving birth isn't as painful as many mothers describe, so future mothers don't worry too much!!!! Wishing you all a successful delivery! - Nick Vypm
