Abstract
This paper examines the use of intravenous fluids in labor management. Commonly used solutions are discussed, together with what is known about their effects on mother and infant. While the administration of intravenous fluids to laboring women may be appropriate and important in some instances, as a routine practice it often results in undesirable outcomes for both mother and infant.
