Andrea, in your diary (http://birthinternational.com.au/diary/archives/2005_10.html)
you wrote: “It is the anaesthetists who impose the restrictions
about eating and drinking in labour, even though there is no evidence to
support their rules. The research clearly states that limiting access to food
and fluids increases the likelihood of caesarean birth, and that the few
anaesthetic accidents that have occurred (aspiration syndrome) during prepping
for caesarean surgery, are due to poor technique. These few emergencies, the
result of incompetent practise, have resulted in millions of women worldwide
being denied nutrition in labour, to their detriment.” Where can I find more on this? Vedrana |
