well that's strange. i wonder why.

[Karen W.]

actually any food before labor makes labor icky, because when you begin transition it causes you to puke like crazy! Any food! If you are having labor pains, don't eat that simple... It is horrible trying to deliver being in pain having contractions while your tummy is making you puke back up what you ate! I did it... it is horrid!

[kdlynn (OP)]

so why can you have ice chips but not water. ice melts... then it is water

[Karen W.]

Just that they melt slower less water in your system at one time less chance of puking!,, and it helps..

What really helped me throughout my pregnancy (one only I'm afraid. One was enough LOL) in regards to digestive complaints, cravings etc. was fennel tea.
You might not really like the smell or taste of it (try adding a bit of honey) but it really helps with all sorts of digestive issues.

hmmm. i'm not gonna lie... i really don't like tea. but i suppose i'll keep an eye out for it at the store
