I would really push back on that. Restricting eating and drinking in labor isn't evidence based. Your uterus is a muscle, muscles need energy to work properly
Induction, can't eat before?
I'm getting induced on Monday the 26th attempting a VBAC, and today my OB told me I can't eat anything after midnight the day before. In case they need to do a c-section.
I ate a meal before being induced with my son (ended in emergency c section), but can't imagine going that long without food and laboring.
Anyone else been through similar? I remember with my son I labored from 8 am to 4 am the next day, and was starving. That was with me having a big breakfast on the way to the hospital.
