New research to be published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology reveals the potential dangers of high water intake during childbirth.
287 pregnant women in Kalmar County Hospital, south-east Sweden were studied from January -June 2007. Women were allowed to drink freely during their labour. Blood samples were collected on admission and after delivery. Cord blood samples were also taken and analysed to see if the effects could be detected in the baby.
