Labor-ade?

Did anyone here drink homemade labor-ade during their labor? I'm thinking about making some and was wondering if anyone recommend it, or has a good recipe.

I also have some EmergenC electrolyte drink mix and might just bring that and mix it with juice at the hospital. Anyone have thoughts or advice?   https://www.vitacost.com/emergen-c-electro-mix

    I did.  I made a really simple version, just a mix of coconut water and orange juice.  Not sure of the proportion, maybe less than half OJ.   I liked having it.   My labor was fast so I guess I didn't need it for endurance, but I'm sure it did me good nonetheless.  Kinda fun to mix it up once I knew it was baby time.

    Thanks! Coconut water seems like a great idea, and easier than the calcium pill concoctions I've found online. I'll pick some up when I'm out today!
