Hellobee Boards

I forget what I ate with my daughter but I had chickfila before my son. It was fine. With my daughter I know they let me eat hospital breakfast (eggs, etc) after having the cervidil all night. So I had breakfast before really starting any contractions.

With my son I even ate a Cliff bar before I started the pitocin and they said as long as I was eating within reason they dint care.

I had c sections but honestly I don't remember and never thought about it! But I guess I would go with something filling since it may be a while before you eat again. Good luck!

DH and I went out to a steakhouse. It was so good! They even gave us complimentary dessert as a congratulatory present!

I was fine the next day and during my L&D. At least I wasn't hungry even when they fed DH two meals during my labor! lol

My Dr checked me at around 9am and after the the decision to induce was decided (after checking the nicu), she told me to eat a good breakfast. I can't remember what I ate but I did take a picture of it. Let me see if i can find it.

ETA: picture is just the aftermath of what I ate so I won't post it here. I had some white toast, a cinnamon bun, Apple slices, yogurt parfait, watermelon and some Cheerios (without milk). I wanted to eat things that wouldn't upset my stomach and wouldn't make me nauseous, so I stayed away from fatty meats and dairy products. (I was eating those foods while in the hospital and leading up my induction... Didn't want to eat anything I would regret.)

With E: we went out for italian food. I had chicken parmesan.
With T: we went out for lunch and I had a chicago dog and fries

I ate spaghetti. I'm glad I had something filling because I couldn't come in until mid morning because there were no beds and by the time I got to eat again it had been over 24 hours and I was starved!

I had this delicious super filling, protien packed yet still light tex mex salad at Chili's. I wish I remember the name but it was delicious! I also ate a banana in secret right before they started the pitocin that morning.

Whatever that is solid that you know will sit well in your system. I had Jack in the Box (induction that went to emergency c-section). I did puke in the OR and that was gross but I'm glad I had something in my system bc it was a long 36-38 hours between my induction starting and going to recovery and then I was only allowed clear liquids for like 12 hours. Burgers and fries wouldn't be good for everyone but I knew they made my weird stomach feel better during pregnancy so I went with it. I would just stay away from anything acidic or spicy because that might hurt real bad coming back. I will likely have an RCS next time bc of my pelvis shape so I will definitely have to plan something amazing next time!

I might be induced this coming week and my plan is to eat little to nothing... I labored two+ days last time without eating because I was scared of vomiting.. And this time I just have a screwy stomach.

With DS I didn't know I was going to have him when I did, the doctor sent me straight to the hospital from an appointment, so I didn't eat anything.
With DD I knew they wouldn't let me eat, so after my water broke, we stopped at Whataburger on the way to the hospital and I got a burger and onion rings. I don't think they were a good idea, though, I had terrible heartburn during labor.

I let DH pick and he wanted BBQ. Such a terrible idea! I am diabetic and this drove up my blood sugar to the point that I was immediately on insulin and saline, with monitors, so no walking around at all. It was 37 hours from the start of the induction to having a baby, with no eating. He doesn't get to choose this time.

@Mrs. Pickle: depending on how you handle the induction you may puke/poop during labor. I did both. Keep that in mind. Don't try anything new or spicy IMO

I had two fried eggs with mozzarella cheese on toast. Wish I had had more protein! I was hungry too soon! I had an induction with misoprostol though, so I got to eat again at noon!! Had chix salad wrap. Didn't puke, but felt like it at 1 or 2 points.... Don't think I pooped this time. I did last time

I had a morning induction, but I wasn't allowed to eat after midnight so we went out to dinner the night before with my whole family. I really wanted Applebee's wings for who knows what reason. I made sure to get dessert too!

I actually didn't eat dinner beforehand (the doctor didn't tell me to!) so the nurses brought me dinner before I was induced (I can't remember what it was.) I did end up throwing up but it had been so long from induction until then that I am sure it was just labor related. I didn't eat until 36 hours later and was FAMISHED! The nurses brought me two turkey sandwiches.
I would eat something filling without being too heavy.

Cold pizza from the hospital cafeteria. I had an unplanned induction due to pre-e and had to get something in my stomach before they started. I didn't have many options though.
