Childbirth pain is truly a nightmare for those who have gone through the labor period, so expecting mothers are advised to consume the following foods to alleviate labor pain.
Perhaps mothers-to-be from episode 1 onwards have heard and felt the pain of childbirth, famously known as 'Nothing compares to the pain of childbirth.' Therefore, Pasgo suggests preparing these remedies to ease childbirth pain, so that the baby comes out swiftly.
1. Eat pineapple when entering the 39th week of pregnancy to experience painless childbirth
Pineapple contains bromelain which helps soften the cervix, this is a natural miracle to facilitate labor and reduce pain for expectant mothers. Therefore, expectant mothers when they begin their 39th week are encouraged by doctors to consume pineapple products such as eating pineapple, drinking pineapple juice, pineapple-infused dishes, etc.
Note with this painless childbirth method:
It is advisable to consume pineapple after it has been thoroughly washed and peeled as well as the eyes removed before use to avoid poisoning which is not good for both the mother and the baby, consume in moderate amounts to prevent diarrhea. Pregnant women suffering from gastric pain should also avoid pineapple and in the first 3 months of pregnancy, pineapple consumption is strictly prohibited.

Black sesame seed sweet soup cooked with arrowroot flour and a little brown sugar is very good for mothers preparing to 'break the water bag' because black sesame seeds contain vitamin E, protein, etc., which are very beneficial for blood, good digestion as well as beautiful skin and hair.

3. Drink perilla water when beginning labor to experience painless childbirth
Perilla water softens the cervix, so the cervix opens faster. Thus, mothers do not lose too much energy and feel exhausted during childbirth. This method differs from the previous two because it is only consumed when mothers experience signs of labor onset.
How to make perilla water:
Clean perilla leaves, boil water until it boils then add perilla leaves and boil for about 5 minutes. The thicker it boils, the better and more effective it is. Pregnant women should drink it when labor begins.
