Last week, when I got the date of my scheduled c-section from my doctors office, I had to sign a paper saying that I understood all of the rules, one of which was to not eat or drink anything, including water, for 8 hours before c-section.
Lately, I have been EXTREMELY thirsty at night (it is very dry in Arizona), so at my appointment today, I asked the nurse if she had any suggestions for how to be more comfortable without being able to drink water over night. She told me to "please drink water" and acted like it was no big deal, even when I mentioned that it specifically said NOT to on the paper that she gave me last week.
I am very confused now, and I am going to try to speak to a doctor to verify this information, but I was just curious what instructions everyone else was given regarding water before a c-section?
