Sorry for silly question - I've never laboured (yet) and as I'm going for a VBA2C I'm aware of some restrictions on eating / drinking during labour.

Expecting an uphill battle with the Ob's I'm just trying to scope whether this is a restriction that I am going to agree or disagree with!

One part of me says 'well if we end up going for a c/s then it may assist with the surgery - but pffft, what do they do with heart attack patients or car crash victims - turn them away from urgent surgery or pump their stomachs prior?? I don't think so ?
My fitness background tells me I will need energy to 'push' thru this labour (pardon the pun ), and going without food could set myself up for failure.

Soooooo, did you eat during labour (and what sort did you have) - or were you so taken in everything else going on that food was the last thing on your mind?
