Do labor contractions make you tired?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: They call it labor for a reason - it is not only painful, but also exhausting. Good hydration and adequate caloric intake throughout labor (by adding sugar to the intravenous fluids) helps along, as does a good epidural anesthesia.
