As with all things, each hospital /provider has their own requirements.

Mine was nothing to 'eat' on the day of the fill - liquids only, nothing to drink for an hour before.

This is paramount!!

Once you have your fill.....sit in the waiting room and sip water for a minimum of 30 minutes to ensure your not too tight. ANY discomfort, salivating or tightness of the chest means you are too tight and go back in and get a small defill immediately (please read my diary about my nightmare fill). Never be too tight, its horrendous and i would rather childbirth anyday than not being able to even sip and keep water down wilst i waited the longest 96 hours for a defill!!!!

each provider is different. it is safer to refer to ur provides guide. all the best.xx

Have you had ur fill yet? If so how did u find it ? When I went I just followed my providers guidelines because they all differ from provider to provider ( no drinking 1hr b4, no food night b4 etc) where as I could drink water right up to my fill , so best follow their advice and you wont go far wrong - Wishing you all the best x
