Best isotonic drinks GD friendly for labour UK
I was advised by my midwife to get some isotonic drinks in my hospital bag ready for labor but as being recently diagnosed with GD, I am now confused which would be good for me and not full of sugar or full of nasties to replace the sugars 🤷🏼♀️.. any advice and tips welcomed ☺️

When I had GD I was advised by midwives to get the lucozade sport drinks x
I was told I was only allowed clear liquid (so water!) As I was being induced. I'd say wait until you're a little clearer on a potential birth plan to get anything.
Also join the gestational diabetes UK Facebook group as lots of suggestions in there!
thanks Danielle.
PS: Already on that Facebook Page 😁
I stuck with water when I was induced with my first. Hospitals were awful at catering to GD too so can recommend taking your own snacks.
