In this episode, we are going to delve into the practice of withholding food and drink during labor. I aim to empower you with evidence-based insights to make informed choices for your birth experience as it relates to this intervention.

It's time to challenge the outdated beliefs surrounding this practice. Contrary to popular misconceptions, medical evidence overwhelmingly supports the idea that nourishment during labor can have a positive impact on the birthing process. Let’s uncover the reasons behind this practice's origins, its historical context, and the misconceptions that have persisted over time.
