In this episode, Dr. Shannon and Doula Rachael discuss the newest evidence on eating and drinking during labor. Some hospitals restrict eating and drinking during labor which is not an evidence based practice. Labor and birth should be treated like a marathon, not a sprint. Eating and drinking during labor can help to keep the birthing person hydrated and energized during one of the most strenuous, long, and exhausting experiences of their life. In this episode you will learn:

Current recommendationsQuick factsWhy eating and drinking freely and as you please during labor is importantWhat to eat in early laborWhat to bring to your birth center or hospital birthIf birthing at home, what to have on hand for the day of labor

The goal of this episode is for you to learn about your options, learn what is recommended, and to empower you to advocate for yourself during labor and birth so that you have the best chance at having the best birth possible.
