Women have been making energy drinks for the demands of labor for a long time. Brew up one of these wonderful drinks well before your due date. Freeze them in ice cube trays, then when you are in labor, pop them into a wide mouth sports bottle, add water, and sip throughout labor to renew your energy.
Labor Aid Drink:
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup honey (or to taste)
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 calcium/magnesium tablets, crushed
water to make 4 cups
1/3 cup honey (or to taste)
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 calcium/magnesium tablets, crushed
water to make 4 cups
Red Raspberry Leaf Tea:
4 tea bags brewed to a quart of water
honey to taste
Other drinks to keep your energy up: G2, Recharge (same as gatorade, but without the corn syrup).
Honey sticks or honey squeezed from a honey bear onto a spoon is also a great way to help raise blood sugar and get a boost of energy.
