Hi all,
I've noticed in some posts about what to take in your hospital bag that a few people listed sugar free hard candy. Is there a reason that it needs to be sugar free? I ask because I have a big bag of lifesavers at home, and I know that my hospital has a slushie machine for laboring moms (yay!) which I haven't heard is sugar free.
Thanks!
Re: Sugar-free candy?
Sugar usually makes you more thirsty, I believe that is the reason they suggest sugar free candy.

Yes it very well could be a glorified ice chip machine. I'm trying to temper my expectations on that one. Thanks for the tip about sugar making you more thirsty - makes sense now!

Seriously jealous!!
I avoid fake sugar.. So sugar free just seems not right to me. Also, the bag of sugar free stuff says eating more than a few will act as a laxative. I'm not sure if that's something I want.
Super jealous!!!
