How am I supposed to go 12 hours

without eating tomorrow night? My mom is staying with us tomorrow night and is going to make me a huge breakfast at 11:30 and then I'm done eating/drinking until after the surgery. I woke up at 4:30 today starving and was trying to hold off eating to get ready for Monday. Yeah that didn't happen.

    I had a big meal and a dessert right before the "cut off" time. I think the nerves and excitement helped me keep from feeling too hungry. (or at least thinking about it.)

    Good Luck!

    I vote eat a lot all day (instead of a lot right at the end of the day)

    I think Kathy has the right idea =)

    I can't believe he's going to be here in a few short days.  Many congratulations to you, Maggie!!

    Oh my goodness, Maggie!! He'll be here sooo soon!

    I'm sorry you won't be able to eat prior to the surgery Sad For me, it was pretty easy. Abe and I ate brunch prior to my ultrasound on the morning he was born. That was around 11 o'clock, I think? And Grady wasn't born till 11:11 that night. Food was the last thing on my mind because I was amped to meet "BC"! I hope you'll have a similar lack of awareness to your hunger Wink After he was born, though, I was definitely ready for some food!

    Oh I'll be doing that too. lol I just remember that I was starving by the time Aidan was born. I had scrambled eggs that morning and that was it until I got back from the NICU around 9 or 10.

    I think it will be easier then you think. My water broke at 5am and I ate a little mcdonalds on the way to the hospital (because I knew they wouldn't let me eat at the hospital). DD was born 23 hours later and I still didn't have an appetite. I went >24 hours without eatting and I wasn't even hungry. It did hit me all the sudden though and I felt like I could eat a horse, lol.

    Hopefully all the adrenaline will be going knowing that you're going to meet your LO. Big Smile

    My water broke at 3pm and I hadn't eaten since noon.  Josie wasn't born until 7:45 the next morning.   I was so thirsty, that was the worst part, and all that they would let me have was ice chips.
