Birth is a process that requires large amounts of energy. As a result of skeletal and smooth muscle contractions at birth, the body's basal metabolic rate, energy requirement, hydration requirement, and insensible fluid loss are significantly increased. Information regarding the safety and effectiveness of increased hydration during labor is still controversial. There is no consensus on whether this hydration should be given with intravenous solutions or orally. The study aims to determine the effect of fluid intake in labor on the delivery process, maternal-fetal outcomes, and postpartum satisfaction of the mother.
Method of Study: The study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to evaluate the effect of fluid intake during labor on mothers and babies.
Location and Characteristics of the Research: The research will be conducted in the delivery room of Sakarya Training and Research Hospital.
Population and Sample of the Study: The research will consist of pregnant women who apply to Sakarya Training and Research Hospital with signs of the onset of labor and will have an expected vaginal delivery in the delivery room. Annually, 7000-8000 women give birth in the hospital, and approximately 50% have an expected vaginal delivery. All pregnant women who met the sampling criteria and volunteered to participate in the study during the study's implementation will be included. The research will be carried out in 3 groups experimental and control groups. The study will be conducted with a total of 90 pregnant women, 30 of whom are in each group.
410 studies on the registry are indexed under Labor Pain; 69 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 90 is close to the median of 100 across 336 interventional studies indexed under Labor Pain.

Exclusion Criteria:
Pregnant women in the study's control group will not be subjected to any application other than routine hospital practices. They will not consume oral liquid or solid food, and their fluid needs will be met with 125 ml/hour of intravenous(iv) fluid (5% dextrose).
Fruit juice (100 ml juice once in the first hour of admission to the delivery room during the latent phase) = (cherry/apple juice, 100 ml, 50-54 kcal), then every 4 hours. It will be given in 100 ml. In addition, they will be allowed to take small amounts of water. (Total fluid intake will be recorded)
Other: fruit juice
Water (as much as desired in 100 ml containers during the latent phase) (total water amount will be recorded). Pregnant women in all groups will not take oral fluids after transitioning to the active phase (\> 6 cm cervical dilatation).
Other: fruit juice
During labor, one group will follow the routine while the water group will only take water and fruit juice group will take water and fruit juice.
Also known as: water
Maternal outcome
During the research, duration of the latent and active phase of labor will be recorded.
Time frame: The duration of the labor will measured from the latent phase of labor to birth.
Maternal pain outcome
A visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to measure the levels of labor pain. VAS scores will be recorded from the latent phase of labor to birth.The VAS was a 0 to 100 mm line (from no pain to worst imaginable pain). Over 60 mm on the VAS indicates severe pain, moderate pain ranges from 40 - 60 mm and mild pain is under 40 mm. The higher scores implied the higher level of pain.
Time frame: The study will be conducted from the latent phase of labor to birth.
fetal outcomes
The Apgar score is a standardized assessment of a neonate's status immediately after birth and the response to resuscitation efforts and remains the gold standard for evaluating neonates.
Time frame: APGAR scores will be recorded after birth.
