Summary
The goal of the study is to see if the addition of a carbohydrate- and protein-enhanced gel during labor speeds labor and reduces the rate of cesarean delivery.

In the placebo arm, patients will receive standard clear liquid diet, which includes ginger ale, variety of fruit juices, and plain soup broth.
