We didn't find out until 4pm Thursday that we were going to have him the next morning at 9am! So that was stressful. We went to Texas Roadhouse and I had fried chicken tenders and knocked DH's drink into his lap. :silly: I blame nerves! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth/page/2#post-2386306 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 04:03:43 +0000 BelugaBean 2386306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right before, I had abig breakfast at home of waffles, bacon and eggs then had French toast at the hospital when I was pushed back a couple hours. The day before I had the foods I had been craving (for lunch - a pork belly sandwich with scallops and fried green beans, for dinner - pulled pork bbq). I would have preferred those over breakfast but my induction was at 7am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth/page/2#post-2386273 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 23:34:03 +0000 Caly 2386273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few chick fil a nuggets in the parking lot on the way to the hospital. I'd heard so many horror stories about people regretting their choice in meal or eating too much so I didn't eat a whole lot. I should have ate more, it was a long time before I could eat again and I almost passed out after delivering and not having a substantial meal couldn't have helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2386225 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 22:14:55 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2386225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cold pizza from the hospital cafeteria.</p> <p>I hadn't eaten breakfast that morning before my OB appointment and was sent straight to the hospital for induction. Then they decided to put my on magnesium so absolutely zero food allowed. It was all I could get my hands on at the time to get something in my stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2386160 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 20:56:47 +0000 GrapeCrush 2386160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS: I had an induction, and I can't remember at all what I had the night before.

I had a PB sandwich, a banana, and a glass of milk. It wasn't my favorite taste-wise, but it was effective! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2386034 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 17:35:35 +0000 FaithFertility 2386034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hot wings :( yeah puked that up!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2386032 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 17:33:18 +0000 rachiecakes 2386032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a soup and salad from Panera, and got a main/pedi :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2386027 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 17:27:18 +0000 travelgirl1 2386027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember with my first. With my second, I didn't set an alarm to eat and they ended up keeping me there all day, starving, before sending me home at 5pm because there were too many emergencies. You bet I set my alarm for attempt #2. I think I had porridge, jam on toast, yoghurt, cheese... It was about 4am so I wasn't in the mood to cook. I drank Gatorade too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2386022 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 17:15:16 +0000 catlady 2386022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water broke in the morning so I think I grabbed oatmeal and maybe a banana before heading to the hospital.</p> <p>I definitely remember that we had spicy Szechuan chinese food the night before. DH and I had joked about getting spicy food to start my labor and apparently it worked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2386017 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 17:05:07 +0000 travellingbee 2386017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man, I can't remember but I know I cooked. I was in the grocery store grabbing some last minute dinner ingredients when I had my first big contraction. Wasn't sure if it was really labor and my contractions were very sporatic (like an hour apart) so I cooked dinner and we ate and watched a movie before we started timing them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2385976 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 16:18:36 +0000 beloved 2385976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pizza Hut deep dish ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2385969 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 16:10:54 +0000 twodoghouse 2385969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The night before my induction we went out to our favorite German restaurant. That was SUPPOSED to be my last meal (other than a light breakfast in the morning), but I was starving during my induction so my dr let me eat around 14 hrs into my induction. I had a glorious meal of jello, chicken broth, and cranberry juice. I thought it was the best meal is ever had until I started throwing it all up an hour later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2385941 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 15:53:47 +0000 Corduroy 2385941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cooked lamb chops and ate them on my hands and knees about 30 hours into labor. I think I horrified my doula. </p> <p>With LO2 I went to the grocery store while I was in early labor and bought EVERYTHING that appealed to me. I don't normally buy a lot of "junk" but I just filled a cart with cookies and ice cream and crap. I ate sooo much. </p> <p>No regrets with either. My body knew what it wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2385933 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 15:48:45 +0000 autumnleaves 2385933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went out to a fancy restaurant and I had fish. I don't remember what sides but I had GD so not a lot of carbs or sweets. My water broke a couple hours later. I had a Starbucks latte on my way to the hospital and then the induction started. No problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2385845 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 15:04:20 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2385845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was not planned but still pretty impressive- Thanksgiving dinner! LO was born on Sunday, I was starving by then!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2385842 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 15:03:35 +0000 AggieDaze 2385842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breakfast for dinner (pancakes and sausage) the night before my 8 am induction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2385801 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 14:36:48 +0000 sarac 2385801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Truffle fries as an afternoon snack, then labor was starting and I didn't feel like dinner. That was all I had in me to get through the entire night of labor, and it sucked. I was starving, but I couldn't eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2385785 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 14:29:44 +0000 cascademom 2385785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since my contractions came on quick in the morning, we stopped at a gas station to get a banana for LO #1. I requested a candy bar while in the car with LO #1. The nurses liked that I got my chocolate fix before settling into bed for laboring. So, I ate a candy bar and a banana before not being able to eat until the traditional turkey sandwich postpartum around 7pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2385780 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 14:28:06 +0000 gingerbebe 2385780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say eat something filling but bland since it will be a while until you eat again but also in case you puke (I did during my C-section). I would do something like chicken Alfredo and salad and bread or meatloaf and mash or some kind of casserole. And if you have a cut off time, yeah eat a PBJ before bed or something.</p> <p>I had some Jack in a Box meal bc I had a failed induction that turned to a C-section so not ideal. Puking up Diet Coke and fast food was not great. Not the worst thing ever (i.e. Something spicy or ethnic) but not great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-meal-before-giving-birth#post-2385777 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 14:27:06 +0000 avivoca 2385777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grilled fish, veggies, and french fries. It was okay until I threw it back up during transition. </p>
