Doctors began requiring women to fast during labor after it was documented in the mid-20th century that pregnant women who were put under general anesthesia had an increased risk for aspiration. Aspiration occurs when food or liquid is inhaled into the lungs. It can cause a severe inflammatory reaction or death.

However, after advances in medical care and new research, some hospitals are changing their rules. For example, we just changed our policy at Clements University Hospital to allow clear liquids – things like clear juice, Popsicles, Jell-O and tea – beyond just water. Healthy women with low-risk pregnancies should no longer need to fast during labor, according to a study by the American Society of Anesthesiologists in fall 2015. In fact, the researchers noted, a light meal actually may help women keep their energy up during childbirth. But before you order a double cheeseburger from the cafeteria, there are a few things about eating and drinking during labor that you should know.

If you are at high risk for a C-section – you’re having multiples, you have health problems, or you have had a prior C-section – we may ask you not to eat or drink anything once labor has started. For other women, depending on the physician and the hospital, the rules may be relaxed. Talk to your physician about what they recommend you eat at home before coming to the hospital, and what they allow once you get there. Moderate amounts of liquid usually are fine, such as water, tea, black coffee, juice, carbonated beverages, or clear broths. We don’t want you to have a huge meal when you’re going into labor, but Jell-O, applesauce, Popsicles, or toast may be OK during early labor, while you’re still at home. In the rare event that aspiration occurs, solid foods can cause a worse reaction in the lungs when aspirated.
