I'm not sure if there is an old wives tale about coconut water but studies haven’t linked coconut water to causing (or easing) labor. In fact, it is a natural isotonic beverage and one of the richest sources of electrolytes. I have it multiple times a week as my go-to refreshing drink when it's hot. Did it during my first pregnancy and doing it now for my 2nd too. Replacing my usual pokka green tea :)

True and there's also no scientific explanation that baby will come out clean. The vernix is there for a reason. To protect baby from the amniotic fluid so not sure why some parents are 'proud' that their baby comes out clean and it's got nothing to do with coconut water.
