After birth 1st meal

2nd tri post got me thinking...You will be STARVING once you give birth and move into Mother Baby room. Last time family brought in pizza (I gave birth at 3pm and by the time I was all ready to go and in my new room.... that was the only thing we could get other then fast food ..... yuk! And hospital food is just as bad. This time I am thinking of planning better, like having a pre-made lasagna (or have MIL make it) with garlic bread and yummy salad (and yes, even if it is early in the AM.... you will be THAT hungry!!!)! And then when the family comes to see LO they will bring in the food at the same time.... 

What sounds good for your 1st meal?

Re: After birth 1st meal

  • I had such high hopes for my first meal, but I wasn't the slightest bit hungry. Actually, I didn't have much of an appetite the entire time I was in the hospital. Maybe it had something to do with having a csection, idk. Hopefully this time will be differ

  • I was starving after giving birth to my DD!  She was born after 11 pm though, and we lived in a small town so there was nothing for me to eat until breakfast, talk about hungry!  One of my biggest complaints about the hospital was that there

  • Last time I had a delicious turkey club sandwich on pretzel bread. It was hospital food but the hospital I'll be at has great food.

  • By time they moved me up to my room, it was about 11pm, so no dinner but the nurse went and found me a couple rolls with butter.  Darned if they weren't the best thing I'd eaten in days.

    The next day, I sent DH across the street for lobster

  • I had DD at 7pm and a nurse was kind enough to save me a plate from dinner and reheat it for me when I was ready, still down in labor and delivery. It was disgusting, flavorless, rubber chicken with steamed veggies and a roll but it was the best damn thin

  • I gave birth right after dinner time at the hospital and my nurse saved me some dinner which was Penne ala Vodka and salad.  She nuked it for my when all was said and done.  She let me eat in delivery room before they took me up to maternity

  • DD was born a little before 1am so I slept and munched on jello and popsicles until my mom brought me a steak quesadilla from On the Border. It was delicious.

  • Our hospital actually has super delicious food, but I live in a smaller town and the hospital is just all around very nice. I will probably just eat something from there.

  • I delivered at 10 pm, but wasn't hungry afterward.  Breakfast was crappy hospital food, so my DH went out and get a strawberry lemonade from MC Donalds.  That was pretty awesome.

  • I just ate hospital food. It was just easier. And honestly, I don't remember it being that bad. No, it's not gourmet dining, but it's not airplane food either.
  • My first meal after DS didn't come til 9 am the next morning because I had a c-section. I was ticked I hadn't eaten in over 24 hours by the time I delivered at 6 pm and they still wouldn't let me eat. However, I have to say the hospital food where I deliv

  • I delivered my son (stillbirth) so I had no time to prepare as it was unexpected. I was finally cleared to eat at 3 am and I was starving! Dh went to the cafeteria to find whatever he could.  It was not the best but it was good enough.

  • I don't remember if I was allowed to eat after my c-section.  I was begging for water in the recovery area, but they would only let me have a little ice.  Just enough to really wet my mouth.
