First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how the length of time you fast before a planned C-section affects how well you recover. One hundred women having an elective C-section will answer 11 questions about their recovery 24 hours after surgery. The goal is to see if longer fasting times lead to worse recovery scores.
