DH ate all of the Cliff bars over our five days in the hospital, and drank some of the juice during labor (when the nurse wasn't looking...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-835070 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 08:47:02 +0000 boiledpnut 835070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had bananas, granola bars, potato chips, and M&amp;Ms. My husband ate most of everything while I was in labor. The rest were great during middle of the night nursing sessions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-835055 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 08:43:27 +0000 swurlygurl 835055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a bunch of apples, bananas and apple sauce. All very refreshing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-835037 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 08:41:11 +0000 dolphin 835037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't pack any snacks. Plenty of meals included at our hospital! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-834964 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 08:25:40 +0000 Adira 834964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just packed granola bars and water. I'm definitely glad I brought the water, but we didn't eat any of the granola bars. Our hospital delivered breakfast, lunch, and dinner to our room, so we never needed our snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-834886 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 08:01:37 +0000 looch 834886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I packed chocolate, cereal bars, dried fruit and nuts. I wanted exactly none of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-834218 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 19:27:45 +0000 LomaLinda 834218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The thought of food was revolting while I was in labor even though I was starving! However, I wished I had packed more than just a few Clif bars because after my baby was born I was constantly hungry (especially at night when no meals were being brought!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-834169 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 19:03:53 +0000 immabeetoo 834169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>granola and lara bars, pretzels, candy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-834119 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 18:46:11 +0000 Smurfette 834119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cliff bars, granola bars, Cheese-it's.

I would've eaten them all already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-834068 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 18:23:46 +0000 tlcbaby 834068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: That is too funny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-834066 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 18:23:13 +0000 tlcbaby 834066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I cursed myself by packing my bags so early because they have been sitting up there for a month now :) but I got some Lara Bars, mini trail mix bags, dried fruit and my DH made some jerky last week that we are saving. I'm going to throw in whatever fresh fruit we have in the house before we leave. For him I also packed plantain chips because he loves them. And about $40 in cash for food runs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-834018 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 18:00:15 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 834018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trail mix, gatorade, yogurt covered pretzels, granola bars and apricots. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833976 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 17:39:07 +0000 MrsRoo 833976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Granola bars, Gatorade, almonds and some dried fruit. Also, Jolly Ranchers! We ate a little of everything! I was starving after labor, and snacked all through the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833956 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 17:30:14 +0000 misolee 833956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>someone brought me muffins and they were so perfect at night. the hospital served dinner at 5 so by 9, i was starving!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833947 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 17:24:37 +0000 jh524 833947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I bought some candy bars, like twix and m&amp;m's, for a treat but I already snuck into my hospital bag stash and ate them.......soooo it hasn't worked for me. I'm restocking with granola bars and will send DH for some goodies. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833944 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 17:22:46 +0000 heffalump 833944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Granola bars. It was nice when I was super hungry and didn't want to wait until they brought me something.... Like after giving birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833942 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 17:20:50 +0000 teamjse 833942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't pack any and was okay with just meals the hospital provided. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833843 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:47:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 833843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I packed and didn't need it, our hosptial had an amazing hospitality room that had way better snacks than I had available! Next time I will not be bringing my own, so maybe check with your hospital! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833836 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:44:22 +0000 mrskc 833836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember we took apples and granola bars. I think we only ate the apples. It was nice having some fresh fruit to eat. I think next time, I'll bring chocolate for myself for afterwards, but I'm a chocoholic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833834 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:44:04 +0000 blackbird 833834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They offered popsicles at my hospital!</p> <p>I took a jar of peanut butter (bring a spoon! i forgot, lol), an apple (which i ate together right before i got pitocin, so it was my last meal!), a box of granola bars, some real fruit leathers, and a box of pretzel sticks to dunk into the pb. I also took some coconut water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833832 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:42:17 +0000 Ra 833832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I think granola bars and gatorade are a must for me, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833826 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:41:37 +0000 Ra 833826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Do most rooms have freezers?! I LOVE real fruit popsicles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833823 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:40:21 +0000 Mrs. Pen 833823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>real fruit popsicles. It's a NEED. Seriously. They were so great to eat during early labor because I was so hot, it was nice to suck on something cool.</p> <p>in addition I brought granola and yogurt, trail mixes and fruit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833818 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:38:38 +0000 aprk 833818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clif bars, trail mix, homemade biscotti and lactation cookies. I ate ALL of it in postpartum/recovery bc I was starving. The only thing I ate during labor were butterscotch hard candies since my throat hurt from so much moaning/screaming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833792 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:29:50 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 833792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>granola bars and Gatorade. Our hospital has food places all around it so my husband just kept going every breakfast and dinnertime and getting me something different. But at night, when nursing, I really needed Gatorade and granola! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833789 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:27:57 +0000 googly-eyes 833789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just brought chips and stuff dh likes for him...and since I was in labor mostly at home and then through the night at the hospital, almost none of it was eaten! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833788 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:27:03 +0000 Boheme 833788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the Nature Valley granola squares and coconut water - especially the kind w/ pineapple - during labor. Afterward peanut butter crackers were a lifesaver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833786 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:26:47 +0000 fancyfunction 833786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was boring and just brought some granola bars. But my hospital had a lovely room set up with snacks/drinks and then they even brought around a dessert cart. Score! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-snacks-did-you-pack-for-the-hospital#post-833783 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:25:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 833783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brought granola bars, almonds and string cheese. I couldn't eat anything though--even if it had been okayed or snuck even the idea of food made me vomit. DH and my mom ate them, though. </p>
