    Both my labours started out of no where and were over within 2 hours so I didn't have time to eat and because it was all so fast I was practically pushing the whole time so water, water, water and lots of it. Lots of breathing and pushing resulted in a dry mouth and it drove me crazy so I made sure I had a couple of water bottles in the hospital bag the second time around and I was more aware of what to expect and it paid off coz I drank them both

    Just water for me also, as I was a chucker too.
    I made the baaad mistake during DS2's labour to have a juice of some description - it was heave ho approx 30 seconds after it hit my stomach. Ick.
