As at least half of the adult population know; labour and childbirth are exhausting. Its the same for goats and some of the older books on animal husbandry recommend a reviving energy drink. Alistair my neighbour can remember when it was routinely given to cows after calving so I mixed some up for Pia. I can't tell if it did any good but she drank half a gallon and seemed very appreciative.
Recipe
A handful of oatmeal mixed to a paste with warm water
Add a kettle full of boiling water and a tablespoon of molasses
Stir well and allow to cool
Drink half a gallon
