First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 36 times
Summary
This study looked at whether being in labour slows how fast a light meal leaves the stomach. Researchers used ultrasound to measure stomach emptying in 43 women: those in labour with or without an epidural, pregnant women not in labour, and non-pregnant women. The goal is to help doctors give better advice about eating during labour.
