Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Current French guidelines allow oral intake of clear fluid in women in established labor under epidural analgesia. To date, no study assessed how these guidelines are followed in clinical practice. This study aims to assess the current practices as to the fasting during the labor at our institution, while assessing the experience and the expectations of the parturients (level of comfort or discomfort related to fasting).

Interventions

Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.

Questionnaire to assess of the application of the current French guidelines as to fasting during labor.

Questionnaire focuses on :

* oral intake of clear fluid during the labor
* oral intake of solid meal during the labor
* fasting duration for solid and liquids
* instruction received as to fasting during labor, nature of these instructions, and who given the instruction (midwife, nurse anesthetist, …)
* discomfort related to thirst during labor
* discomfort related to hunger during labor

We will also record several medical data as to the course of pregnancy and delivery, analgesia technique, history and characteristics of the parturient.
