Halloween Sweets can help you in labour!

Happy Halloween you pregnant witches!

Who knew your left over ( or purposely purchased) Halloween sweets could help you in labour?

We are always banging on about how important it is to eat during labour and we often talk about the fact your body needs energy…. which is totes true!

Another excellent reason to have a snacky snack in labour is because the simple act of eating sends signals to your brain to tell to your body that you are safe!

You wouldn’t sit down for a snack if you were being chased by lion…. and your brain knows that.

Last but not least….. and this is to make sure you are aware of what’s what …. if at any point you are asked to stop eating in labour it’s because you’re being prepared for surgery. Let that sink in…. it’s always an excellent question when considering accepting interventions. “Will this impact your recommendation on my eating in labour?”

So help your nervous system out and activate your parasympathetic nervous system by eating some sweets!
