[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ate in the hospital during my labors. No one denies this girl food!

I  checked with my sister and her experiences since reading through this thread. She told me her hospital informed her of the risk of incident but that she ate lightly as she needed her strength.

Sounds like dcum women are kind of wimpy when it comes to making their own decisions.[/quote]

Maybe some people just prefer to listen to advice given to them by their healthcare providers. How terrible! [/quote]

but the advice to withhold is not catch all and shouldn't be implemented across the board. the hospitals also arent following the advice of patients in active labor being able to use" isotonic sports beverages, water, ice chips, fruit juices without pulp, black coffee, and tea without milk or cream". AAMC was NPO basically across the board. Water was a stretch for them.

There is also no general consensus or recommendation on elective induction and any pre-active labor stage ingestion. We need more studies but it isn't a high priority for the medical community. Ill also add that all of these restrictions are in the event you require general anesthesia, which is currently around 6%. [/quote]
