First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether drinking a clear carbohydrate-rich beverage two hours before a planned C-section can help women recover faster and feel less hungry, thirsty, or anxious. One hundred women will be randomly assigned to get either the carbohydrate drink or plain distilled water. Researchers will measure recovery scores at 24 and 48 hours after surgery.
