Why not let you eat anything during labor?


This is a question that we have many mothers, who surprise us when we have long labors from hours and hours while we expand toward the birth of our children, and we are not allowed to drink water, let alone eat some food.
 At open dilation, it is appropriate to stop drinking fluids and eating for the simple fact that everything runs its natural course, but unexpected situations can arise and have to resort to a cesarean section, although this is not as common, can to happen, and you better be in a position, since it takes when using anesthesia and the same with a full stomach, there is a danger that the mother to regurgitate and aspirate gastric contents.


In these cases, severely complicate the picture, because aspiration of gastric contents may result in an aspiration pneumonia, so it is better to bear those few hours of hunger and thirst, if necessary, if the mother has eaten something and no risk to your baby, your doctor will decide if it's worth taking all the risks and perform a cesarean section.
