Does drinking ghee help in pregnancy for delivery?

Question

My saas keeps telling me to have a spoon of ghee daily from 9th month, says it makes delivery smooth and easy. Honestly im not sure if its just a old saying or actually true. Did it help anyone with normal delivery?

Beta, traditionally we suggest having one spoon of pure ghee in warm milk in the ninth month. But only if your body digests it well, don't force if you have acidity.

I know how overwhelming it is when everyone around gives different advice and you feel anxious about doing the right thing. Ghee is good for health but it doesn't magically cause a normal delivery, so eat it only if you want to.

See, this is a complete myth. Delivery normal hogi ya C-section, that depends on your body and baby's position, ghee drinking has nothing to do with it.

Haan, humare yahan toh bolte hain ki ghee-doodh peene se delivery easy hoti hai. But limit me hi lena na, zyada lene se weight bohot badh jayega and delivery me issues ho sakte hain.

I also heard this so much and got so stressed thinking what if I don't drink it and can't have a normal delivery! But honestly, don't force yourself if you feel nauseous, just stay calm and baby will come when ready.

Honestly, this is just an old myth that ghee lubricates the birth canal. It only adds extra calories, so eat it for nutrition but don't think it will guarantee a normal delivery.
