Food during labor

sat

First time Mom here. I am in my second trimester and have a question on child birth.

Are we not allowed any food during labor. I read the birth stories here and came across a lot of posts mentioning it. What is the reason for that. I got a little scared thinking about no food or water for so many hours together.
