A member asked:
Is it safe to eat when i'm in labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: in the event something would happen and you would need a C-section the risk of vomiting and aspiration would be greatly increased. Some physicians do allow ice chips or clear liquids and some do allow one to eat but I do not recommend it.
