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.

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup honey (or to taste)

Other drinks to keep your energy up: G2, Recharge (same as gatorade, but without the corn syrup).
