With DD I had to be at the hospital at 7AM, I ate a cup of yoplait yogurt right before leaving our house. With DS I had to be at the hospital at 6AM, we drove through McDonalds on the way to the hospital and I had a bacon egg cheese biscuit and hashbrown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-453330 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:15:05 +0000 Mommy Finger 453330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced at 5:30 am and wasn't hungry when I woke up to get ready to head in. However, I still made egg, bacon and cheese sandwiches for us. I ended up being in labor for 24 hours and was surprised that I wasn't really hungry that whole time. I'm guessing my body was busy with other stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-453053 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 09:05:02 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 453053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew I was being induced at midnight, so I had a normal dinner pretty early and then tried (and pretty much failed) to sleep. While at the hospital in the early stages, I had a banana and some juice. Baby was born at 10:45 am, so I didn't go long without being able to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-453051 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 09:02:39 +0000 LAGS 453051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly can't remember? Based on the timing when I went in, I'm pretty sure we probably had dinner as usual. I wasn't too concerned about fueling up though because I was told I could eat while I was laboring unless I planned for an epi or whatever and the maternity ward had a nicely stocked kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-453045 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 08:59:26 +0000 mediagirl 453045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a peanut butter sandwich at 2am. I went into bad contractions around 4:30am. There was no way I was eating once those started. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-453000 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 08:33:49 +0000 DillonLion 453000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No and it was a huge mistake. I wound up not being allowed to eat again for 48 long hours, 12 of which were after I had already delivered because I had some complications that might have warranted surgery so I still wasn't allowed to eat or drink </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452983 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 08:19:56 +0000 heffalump 452983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it was in the middle of the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452949 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 07:41:32 +0000 Weagle 452949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I loaded up on protein. Peanut butter sandwich, cheese, and hard boiled eggs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452932 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 07:11:50 +0000 matador84 452932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew it would be my last meal without kids so I took a pic! Is that weird or what? I had a hot dog, Kraft Mac and cheese, and baked potato salad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452917 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 06:11:45 +0000 sorrycharlie 452917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 1/2 a digiorno pizza before I went into labor, my water broke while I ate! We left for the hospital about 1.5 hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452911 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 05:13:49 +0000 Andrea 452911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I was not hungry at all the whole time I was in labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452907 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 05:04:49 +0000 mamimami 452907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not right before going but I did eat plenty while laboring at home since I'd heard people say how hungry they got at the hospital. I think probably if you're going to puke, it's probably going to happen whether you've eaten super recently or not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452886 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 04:11:01 +0000 Irishmom 452886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No..I had no appetite at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452885 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 04:09:28 +0000 Sweet T 452885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water broke at 3am and we still stopped. DH insisted he was starving! I ate some fruit, walnuts, &amp; yogurt. My midwife also allowed fluids during labor so I was allowed to have broth, juice, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452882 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 03:57:31 +0000 BelugaBean 452882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried to eat a peanut butter sandwich but could only finish a few bites. I just didn't feel like eating at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452879 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 03:52:44 +0000 Tidybee 452879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had every intention of eating before going to the hospital after reading some tips from HBers. I went into labor at 2:30am and was way too anxious/excited to eat. I did have 2-3 crackers while in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452805 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 00:13:06 +0000 wheres_c 452805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went into labor at 3:30am and had half a bagel. Due to complications I wasn't allowed to eat for two days after delivery. I sure wish I'd eaten more before I left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452775 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 23:51:06 +0000 T-Mom 452775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For DD I didn't eat a whole lot and was starving. For DS I had just eaten a huge anniversary meal (Italian) so I was stuffed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452765 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 23:47:13 +0000 SAHM0811 452765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time, Thai food that we had ordered in. The second time, cold Hawaiian pizza from CPK and coconut water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452762 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 23:45:28 +0000 Freckles 452762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to the hospital right after dinner, but all i had was miyuk guk. I totally regret not eating lots beforehand, because i was in active labour for 20 hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452740 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 23:31:57 +0000 Maysprout 452740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went for pizza and I think I ate half of the large pizza, may have been a mistake. I didn't go into L&amp;D until 4 am and I didn't eat anything between dinner and when I went in, that was a mistake too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452734 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 23:28:26 +0000 littlecasita1122 452734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some plain pasta with butter and parm cheese a couple hours before we left for the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452726 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 23:21:56 +0000 autumnlove 452726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I was too nervous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452725 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 23:21:35 +0000 lovehoneybee 452725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I'd been planning on making pancakes, and I don't know why I didn't. I had Chinese takeout a few hours before, which was a huge mistake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452702 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 23:03:09 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 452702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way - I was in too much pain to eat anything. DH stopped to get lunch at Burger King on our way and the smell if his fries had me thisclose to barfing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452698 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 23:00:57 +0000 mrsmenow 452698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped at an Arby's for DH to get something to eat since he left work at the end of the day and we left for the hospital right away. He couldn't decide what he wanted so we sat there for ever, I just about killed him. I think I had a mozzarella stick, but didn't feel like eating at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-heading-to-lampd#post-452694 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 22:57:19 +0000 chopsuey 452694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went into labor at 2am the first time, so we headed straight to the hospital. </p>
