I was in the shower around two AM with back labor and DH was handing me a granola bar! He even went out for pizza at one point (though I couldn't even look at it)...Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397886444398204729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-80849426850819343792010-04-29T17:54:13.066-04:002010-04-29T17:54:13.066-04:00Courtney, all our hospital stocks is saltines, gra...Courtney, all our hospital stocks is saltines, graham crackers, and soda/juice at times other than meals. We had Little Man at around midnight, and I was STARVING! I always crave a big burger after giving birth, so if this baby comes when a restaurant is open, I am SO sending Fr John!<br /><br />Homewordbound, I don't really know if the hospital limits food. my guess is yes:( That is something to ask my doctor on Tuesday. Thanks for reminding me!MamaBirdEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08953172914077823820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-12543283052819062172010-04-29T15:59:27.171-04:002010-04-29T15:59:27.171-04:00does your hospital limit food intake?

If so :-( Honey Straws are a GREAT energy boost and easy on the belly.<br />I devoured them during my 2nd child's labor, and as a birth doula, I always bring plenty (for the laboring mama ...

Our birth center keeps meals in the fridge for moms and dads and a basket of snacks in room, but I love the addition of the sparkling cider!Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397886444398204729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-19873159873741173052010-04-29T12:28:02.301-04:002010-04-29T12:28:02.301-04:00good to be prepared! my best wishes!good to be prepared! my best wishes!elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962587884124992942noreply@blogger.com
