I snuck lots of snacks during my >24h labor and got him out with 2 pushes. How do starving people push a baby out??

Man I hate doing this at drs appts. I shouldn’t have to educate a Dr about something they’re specializing in. Unless it’s a new med that came out or is being tested; I’m a CPhT so I get that info alot

I don’t understand how this is still the mantra with so many docs. Check that general diet in the order set all day long! 💅

I mean, I gave birth in Finland and downed a chocolate bar 10 mins before pushing 🤌🏻😂

Like no other place than USA has this dumb no eating rule for people in labor. Most places you're encouraged to eat light foods for energy

I delayed going to the hospital w/severe preeclampsia because I was like "Nah I'm gonna eat first, this is gonna be a while" ☠️

Do not in fact drink a 7-up and eat a moon pie in front of the people you’re intentionally starving.

As long as you have an overly litigious environment like the US I just can’t see them backing away from the fasting rules. Very glad I live in NZ.

I had a small amount of applesauce to take my meds 3 hourbefore my hysterectomy and they delayed it almost 2 hours and talked to me like I'm a child.

I told me husband after #1 I am eating before we go to the hospital and I did - many hours later I had a surprise c-section - so glad I ate!

This is ridiculous. You drink RC cola with moon pies, not 7 up 😉

I wish they had let me eat. I was so exhausted I could barely push when it was time.

Please! Do I need to sign pelvic consent form to have my tubes removed? I want to be sterile. Don’t want med students looking at my vag while sedated

You closed comments so I'll say it here: The fact that you believe a baby can come from anyone but a WOMAN means you really should lose your license.

When it came down to it for my emergency c they didn’t have time to care how much I ate that day. But usually I feel too anxious to eat in labour.
