Expert Tips
Labor-Aid Ice Cubes – You could prepare this drink in advance by adding honey, lemon, and lime juice to ice cube trays and putting them into the freezer. Whenever your labour begins, ask your birth partner to take the ice cubes out, and add them to the coconut water and water.
Use A Straw – When I first made this, I envisioned drinking it from a water bottle or mason jar. But the reality was that it was uncomfortable to move into a position that made drinking like that simple. By having a straw on hand, you will be able to comfortably drink labor aid in whichever position you’re in.
