I drank 2 apple juices and lots of water. From transition until birth I had a sip after every contraction, it was hard work I tell you

Funny you mention the shakes Toomanytoomany, I couldn't stop shaking for about an hour after the birth and they even put the heat lamp over top of me. Hmmmmmm now to google away!!!
When I say shakes, I mean a hypoglycaemic attack - I start shaking, sweating, feeling nauseated and panicky. This happens whenever I let my blood sugar drop too low - whether I'm in labour or pregnant or just being a normal human being LOL.

I remember that horrible shakey feeling you're describing after my dd3 was delivered, though - I think it was shock because she was delivered really fast and I lost a lot of blood.
