Owing to the mother’s eating bitter, pungent foodstuffs, or food which is too salty or too sour, the body of the child incessantly suffers pains which are almost intolerable.
Purport

All descriptions of the child’s bodily situation in the womb of the mother are beyond our conception. It is very difficult to remain in such a position, but still the child has to remain. Because his consciousness is not very developed, the child can tolerate it, otherwise he would die. That is the benediction of māyā, who endows the suffering body with the qualifications for tolerating such terrible tortures.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda

Translation
All its limbs suffer from contact with the mother’s food, which is difficult to tolerate if it is too bitter, pungent, hot, salty, dry or sour. Ulbaṇaiḥ means “difficult to tolerate.”
