Evidence & Eating During Labor

Published: April 12, 2017, 4 p.m.

It\u2019s been nearly two years since I first spoke with Rebecca Dekker from EBB about eating and drinking during labor, and the importance of evidence based information and practices. Recently, Rebecca and her team updated their article on the evidence of \u201cEating and Drinking During Labor\u201d and -not so surprisingly- not only does the previous evidence still hold, but there is further data support it. This is great news for laboring mamas- but you\u2019ll have to listen until the end to get the nitty-gritty on the update. Along the way, you\u2019ll also hear about what constitutes evidence based care, and why it\u2019s important. (Hint: many hospital labor practices are not based on evidence, and can in fact be detrimental to the process.)\xa0
