[quote=Anonymous]I had relatively quick deliveries but labor for me feels like the flu. Stomach pains, shivering, sweat, vomit etc. No way I’d want to eat.

First child: water broke 4 am, contractions started 6 am, no medicines or interventions (I wanted them but didn’t receive any). Delivered at 10:15 - I’d been pushing a few hours. They worked on me for a few hours to try to get hemorrhaging to stop and to try to get my placenta out. After that I kept blacking out. Sometime around 2 pm I had apple juice and a milk shake and it was great! The prior time I remember being that hungry and thirsty was after a strenuous 8 hr hike.

Second child: water broke at 9 pm, epidural at 2 pm, delivered at 5 am so didn’t miss a meal anyway. I don’t remember for sure, but I think they gave me sips of apple juice. They also but fluids in my IV (as well as medication to prevent vomiting and to limit hemorrhaging). With the epidural I fell asleep and slept through some major contractions and woke up to push for 5 minutes. [/quote]
