Quotes by Henci Goer (?)

“The second reason caregivers may be silent about the dark side of epidurals is that they generate big bucks for anesthesiologists and hospitals. Epidural charges range from $500 to $2500. A hospital consultant explained to me that hospitals have to maintain staff anesthesiologists around the clock to handle obstetric emergencies. In order for these doctors to make what they consider an adequate income, the hospital has to maintain something like an 80 percent epidural rate. Given this, how strongly do you think medical staff would resist the notion that epidurals are not always a good thing and most women can cope without them?”

Eat or drink small quantities frequently rather than large quantities infrequently. One midwife recommends carbohydrates early in labor, moving to at least four ounces of calorie- and electrolyte-containing fluids per hour in late”
