The labour process can often initiate a 'clearing' from the digestive tract. This may result in being sick or having diarrhoea, and is a natural preparation for birth. However, this can dehydrate your body.

To replenish water stores and sustain your energy, sip small amounts of filtered water or these hydrating beverages throughout labour. The intense activity of labour will draw on your store of B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, chromium, zinc and Co-enzyme Q10.
