I did a lot of vomiting during labor. How do y’all eat snacks?! lol maybe they’re snacking afterward. I wasn’t allowed to have anything, even ice chips, when I was laboring with DS. The hospital I’m going to this time said I can have popsicles!

I did a lot of vomiting during labor. How do y’all eat snacks?! I didn't eat much during active labor because my contractions made me slightly nauseous, but I ate what I could in early labor to keep my strength up. I figure since my hospital allows it, I might as well bring snacks if I decide I want to eat so I don't have to send someone out to the vending machine. My doula suggested easy to eat things that don't require a lot of chewing. And yeah, I was starving immediately after last time and was glad I didn't have to wait for food to come. Plus, MH is going to need food and I don't want to him to wander off in search.

I made MH go through a drive thru on the way to the hospital last time. Will probably do that again. My hospital is ice chips only.

The hospital I delivered N at only allowed ice chips but I convinced the nurse to get me a popsicle.
At the time it was one of the best things I ever put in my mouth. I was starving.

My hospital allowed food up until you got an epidural. My husband and sister went to lunch and brought me left overs... but by then I was in actual pain (induction) so I had them after i was done. They also allowed popsicles and I was devastated to find out I could have brought my own ones I love and kept them in their freezer.

This convo is making me see the very really possibility that in my first pics post delivery I’ll have blue popsicle-mouth. 😂 I love popsicles.

I was only allowed sugar free jello and Popsicles. I asked for both every time a nurse checked on me.
My first PP meal was still one for GD and was horrible. After I passed the glucose testing I ate a chicken salad sandwich for ever every meal. This cracks me up because I have the biggest chicken aversion when pregnant.

I was induced last time and was only allowed clear liquids once the pitocin started. I don’t remember having ice chips, but I did have jello and chicken broth. Then DD1 was born at 2am and the cafeteria was closed and I was starving. The nurse found me a ham sandwich and it was the best thing I ever ate.

My last hospital had really good Italian ice pops. I ate so many. I don't think they had any food limitations, and my hospital this time doesn't either. But I doubt once the induction is underway that I will have any desire to eat.

I have no memory of whether I was allowed to eat, probably because I went in at 11pm and was actively pushing by like 10ish, so I really didn't miss much mealtime. I should ask.

I had an induction and wasn’t allowed to eat. I should have stuffed my face before checking in but it all happened so quickly. I did have a few hidden snacks and that helped me.
I was so excited to eat after DS was delivered but I vomited all of it back up within minutes. Will not make those some mistakes again!

I ate right before my induction last time and wasn’t allowed anything until after the birth. My snacks are for right after because I am starving and because I am dairy and egg free most, if not all, hospital food and fast food is a no go. The one place I can go that is close to the hospital is to Moe’s for a burrito but I am SOL if it’s late at night or in the morning.

Interesting! I was told not to use TP and given a huge stack of cloth wipes while I was in the hospital last time. Since I’m in a different hospital this time, maybe I’ll pack a little soft TP in case I need it.

I started my bag last night finally...now I feel like a FTM again googling what all I should bring. I remember not using very much out of my bag last time because it was a relatively short hospital stay, so I'll probably try to keep it minimal. I should really go and buy some post-delivery snacks!
