Question

first time mom..wrecking her brain at 32 past midnight!!!

Answer 1

b/c you never know how labor will progress, as soon as labor starts you want to restrict your diet only to light, bland, liquidy foods... like popsicles, jello, and soup. it could suck if your in labor a long time, but it will cut down on all sorts of complications.

Answer 2

I wasnt aware there were any foods to avoid. I never had "normal" labor symptoms due to my dynamic and incomplete cervix never left anything except one contraction at 9cm. Good luck

Answer 3

Labour makes your bowels move as you want them empty to start pushing. Don't eat anything heavy or you'll regret it when it's to late. Eat natural but filling foods as you'll want strength aswel. Something with carbs but not to much fibre. I've never given it to much thought. I don't normally eat much during labour but feast afterwards.

Answer 4

All cold foods. Try to have some food that gives warmness to the body, that will protect you from the effects of outside cold environment!

Answer 5

I don't know of any particular foods you should avoid but as far as beverages go, caffeine intake should be kept at a minimum.

Answer 7

none, you can eat anything you like. BUT PLEASE BE ADVISED A LOT OF WOMEN IN LABOR OFTEN THROW UP BECAUSE OF PAIN AND/OR BREATHING AND PUSHING. I did so I would stick to a lite diet and drink a lot of water. Hope it helps!!!!!!! : )

Answer 8

Stop it, then... When you are in labor, your not hungry anyway! You need fluids and I would suggest something to help hydrate you.

Answer 9

there are particular cheeses you ought to evade like brie. seafood, yet perchance you dont consume seafood. it is principally meats like liver and pate so your ok there. evade kidney beans too.

Answer 10

I would stay away from anything heavy or fatty.
