Today, we are going to explore brand new updates to the Evidence Based Birth® Signature Article, Evidence on: Eating during Labor! We talk about four major topics:
- Nutritional needs during labor
- New info on gestational or pre-gestational diabetes and eating during labor
- New research on anesthesiology and its relationship to eating and drinking during labor, and
- Finally, how body mass index and fatphobia relate to anesthesia concerns, and what that has to do with eating during labor.
Content Warning: pregnancy-related death, anesthesia-related death, fatphobia and anesthesia, microaggressions related to health care workers' reaction to ethnic foods
