Pre labor food

MegZRN

I'm being induced in a little over 2 weeks. My induction instructions say that if we choose to eat prior to coming to the hospital to make it a "light" meal vs a "heavy" one. My induction starts at 7pm so I plan on having a pretty light food day, but I'm having trouble thinking of really light foods. 

Suggestions?

English muffin, yogurt, banana, toast, some crackers, soft pretzels.  Those things would fill me but not overly stuff me.

I would probably eat anything but greasy, fried, or spicy.

Soup and crackers?

This would be my guess. And fruit.

These were the things that came to mind for me too.  I would think about the things that you would eat if you had an upset stomach.

I would probably eat anything...but that's just me because I am hard headed.

This - I'd avoid fried food for sure, but there's lots of things you can eat.  And you will want to eat - you'll be hungry!!

This is what I was thinking too. Things that give you strength but won't make you sick.

I would avoid anything that will be ultra-gross coming back up.  I threw up while in labor with DD1 and salmon and sweet potato fries will never be the same! (Sorry, TMI!)  Good luck!

When I was in early labor I ate some toast, some cottage cheese and some peaches.  It turned out to be a good choice because it was nice and easy coming back up once I started puking my way through labor.
