Birth is a process that requires large amounts of energy. As a result of skeletal and smooth muscle contractions at birth, the body's basal metabolic rate, energy requirement, hydration requirement, and insensible fluid loss are significantly increased. Information regarding the safety and effectiveness of increased hydration during labor is still controversial. There is no consensus on whether this hydration should be given with intravenous solutions or orally. The study aims to determine the effect of fluid intake in labor on the delivery process, maternal-fetal outcomes, and postpartum satisfaction of the mother.
