packing food for SO?

in February 2011 Moms

Im just wondering what other people are packing for their SO to eat during labor. I would like him to stay with me the whole time since I have never been through this before and he will be the only one in the room with me. So far all I have is some beef jerky. Which I kno will not be enough to satisfy this guys hunger. lol Any input or suggestions would be great.

    I packed Oreos and Skittles. There are places to get food easily right at the hospital so if H wants to run out I won't mind.

    I have packaged cheese and crackers, assorted chips, peanuts (our hospital isn't nut-free), and cookies. There are also about 50 restaurants in town that deliver, so I know he won't starve. :)

    Our OB unit had a "nutrition nook"- DH was able to help himself to a variety of drinks and snacks. He was also able to order a guest tray for $5 from room service that they brought to him so he could stay with me. I'd check with the hospital before you go packing a ton of stuff :)

    Our hospital has vending machines on the L&D floor. Check into that. With DS, he went and got lunch at the hospital cafeteria while I rested during labor. He wasn't gone long, and it really wasn't a big deal. My MW told him when it was a good time to go because I still had a while of labor.

    Well, being that I won't be going in until I can't walk... nothing. That man ain't going to be eating ANYTHING in front of me while I'm in pain and hungry!

    DH can order a guest tray for $4 so if he wants a meal he will do that but snack-wise we are bringing fiber one bars and some "happy baby" baby food pouches (he LOVES these things and thinks they should be marketed to adults on the go...)

    We have a running supply of granola bars and various other 'snacks' that go into his everyday lunches so I'm just throwing a handful of those in. There are a couple restaurants/fast food places within 5 minutes of the hospital (Panera, Dunkin Donuts, etc) so if he wants more than that, he can go get it while I'm sleeping.

    Peanut butter crackers, granola bars, maybe a muffin.  He probably won't eat anything, though.

    My husband has a large appetite and a small tolerance for being hungry.  We a book bag of sunflower seeds, beek jerky, trail mixes, dried fruit, and some green tea for energy.  The last thing I need is for his butt to be cranky when I'm that uncomfortable--I would probably kill him.  If food keeps that at bay, I'm all for whatever he wants to bring.  I've watched him drink all throughout my pregnancy (obviously not over-drinking but when he's having  beer and you want a glass of red wine it still sucks); I can get through a day of him eating in front of me.
