I would expect to be Nothing By Mouth starting at 12AM until after the C section, reading online it looks like you might be able to have liquids beforehand.
I was told small sips of clear fluids before. No food after midnight the day before and was asked to turn up to the hospital by 7am. If things take too long before your section I think they can administer some carbohydrate fluid via your cannula
They should have booked you a pre op the day before where they go through your timings, give you some medication to take and advise on when you can eat up until
I think up until like 8pm or so the night before and then you have some meds to take but they will let you know in your pre op You can eat from when you’re back in your ward. It’s worth having snacks packed for in between meals if you need them!
As far as I know nothing from the night before can't remember the time depends on when your c-section is booked you have a appt couple of days before to go through everything and then after your c section you can eat 😊 3rd c section I don't remember feeling so so hungry as you feel gassy and bloated you will need to drink some peppermint tea after to relive some gas lol
I found i haven't been able to eat for several hours after my sections - something about the drugs just makes me chuck everything back up! I will be waiting at least 6 hours this time
At your pre op assessment they’ll talk through the timings but you basically can’t eat or drink apart from water for about 12 hours before?
Have u got a time yet. Its usually the night before is ur cut off point. Only water. And snacks for after id say read into foods that dont constipate u. Xxx
