[quote=Anonymous]That's very interesting.  I'm the doula who posted above that I've had multiple clients eat and drink with MCA, including when the midwives and/or nurses are in the room.  I had no idea that they were telling clients this prenatally -- most of my clients seemed to be under the impression that eating and drinking would be okay, so I wonder how they got that impression if the midwives were saying clear liquids only.  Which midwife told you this?  That's too bad that they don't outright support eating and drinking.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With regards to MCA, I've attended a fair number of births with them as a doula, and have had clients eat and drink as much as they wanted, and no one has ever said anything to the clients.  I don't know what the policy is officially, but they are supportive of women eating and drinking during labor.[/quote]

I asked about it at a prenatal and the answer was "eat as much as you want at home but when you come to the hospital, it's just clear liquids, jello, and popsicles". [/quote][/quote]
