That's very logical.

Mind you, at our little hospital they can eat whenever,and whatever they want. And I know from personal experience that I ate like a horse for the first half of all my labours. Once the 'toe curls' started with the pain though, the hunger aches disappeared!

Re: [ozmidwifery] Urgent: Need Info on Eating In Labour PoliciesIs it not also logical that a starved body does not function as well as a nourished even without the one inquestion being in the middle of performing labour??

You could contact Michel Odent at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] . He did some talks about eating in labour. Prevent the mother from eating gives adrenalines that counteract with oxytocine and endorfines and causes so prolonged labour.
