Fact Check: Does consuming ghee in the last trimester of pregnancy guarantee normal delivery?

Does ghee promise a normal delivery?

No, it is often believed that consuming ghee would act as a ‘laxative’ which will eventually help in smooth vaginal delivery. Refuting the pregnancy myth, an article on Physioheal states, “There is no evidence to back either of these beliefs. The latest research claims that a pregnant woman needs 200 extra calories to nourish her baby. So, doctors advise consuming an extra 300 calories during the second and third trimesters. If there is a need for you to get some extra calories, your doctor can advise some healthy, wholesome food to help you with. Consuming a lot of fatty food can accelerate your weight gain and complicate your pregnancy.’
