Labor drink test: does water or sports drink leave the stomach faster?

NCT ID NCT04229043

Summary

This study aims to understand how quickly water and a carbohydrate sports drink empty from the stomach of women in early labor. Researchers will compare women who have an epidural for pain relief to those who do not, using ultrasound to measure stomach volume over time. The goal is to gather information that could help guide safe drinking and eating practices during labor.
