Post-Delivery Meal, Anyone?

blairy926 · October 2011

Is anyone else planning your post-delivery meal already? (Sad, I know). If so, what are you having?

I was reading the cantaloupe post and the comments some of you ladies made had me thinking even more about what I want to eat (or think I want to eat) right after this baby is born.

I'm thinking club sandwich complete with lots of lunchmeat and bacon (haha) and maybe a chocolate chip cookie (for no apparent reason other than I will deserve it at that point). I happen to know I can get both of these 24 hours a day from a place within minutes of my hospital

This may be a post-and-run because I have a crazy cold and am craving a hot shower and sleep soon, but I can't wait to read what you all have to say

While in the hospital: Turkey and Swiss sandwich

Home from the hospital: Grilled steak, blue cheese wedge salad and a glass of red wine!

I can't wait for my "home" meal, I made my hubby promise he'd make it for me, and we've been saving a bottle of red from our "last hurrah" trip to Napa before we started TTC for a celebratory post-baby dinner :-)

I know I'm looking forward to my ridiculously rare steak more than anything else, but as far as the post-delivery meal in the hospital, if I get the clearance I am getting some sashimi/sushi..tuna and salmon specifically. I miss it dearly..almost as much as my rare steaks.

Yummy!

Ooooh! Good idea--I hadn't even thought about a meal when I'm home from the hospital. I'm going to have to think on that one

Five Guys. It's all I can think about haha.

This is a good post! I haven't thought about what I'd like post-delivery and for my first meal home. I haven't really restricted any food during the pregnancy, so I'm not overly craving anything in particular. I wasn't a big drinker before baby, so I could probably continue going without a drink also. You definitely have me thinking!

Tuna sashimi?

TimeRacer · October 2011

Yup, tuna sashimi. A great little sushi place near our hospital makes this little platter of just tuna and salmon sashimi with the rice and miso soup served on the side. If they are closed when I happen to be able to have it, then the backup place does just traditional sushi platters with tuna and salmon, from the rolls to the small filets. Love it.

Sushi and champagne!

mrsredrox · October 2011

Rare steak with a side of sushi and raw oysters haha. And a glass of wine!

I have salmon sushi and miso soup for lunch twice a week... mmmmm!!!!! i haven't allowed myself to order the higher mercury level fish such as sushi grade tuna or yellow tail, even though the one serving of it probably won't do much.

Hmmm While in the hospital I am going to eat my Med-Rare steak!! and then when we get home the hubby has already promised to go to Hyashi and get me some of their sushi and a bottle of wine!!

I have been dreaming of a cold cut turkey sandwich on wheat bread with romaine lettus, a light spread of mayo with potato chips and a diet coke with lots of ice.

I haven't restricted myself, so I guess I have no special answer :-/

(FWIW, I don't eat meat unless it's fully cooked, I don't drink alcohol or eat seafood, and I eat deli meat and drink caffeine while pregnant)

authorofdreamz · October 2011

I don't really restrict my eating since most the things were not supposed to eat I don't eat anyway. I am just looking forward to being able to eat a nice big meal as opposed to feeling like I'm going to explode after eating less than my two-year old nephew =/

varkeyr · October 2011

Double mocha and a Coke This one has not let me enjoy coffee at all! I can't think of anything to eat because I eat what I want already.

KBBH · October 2011

I can not WAIT for a loaded (stuffed like mad) Italian hoagie with all the fixings and a glass of wine. White or red, I really don't care. DH said he would bring the hoagie to the hospital. I am pretty sure he'll be sneaking in a bottle of the wine, too.

Once we get home, I want a huge salad loaded with ranch dressing. (I have had the salad during pregnancy, but not the ranch dressing.)

And I want some feta cheese - somewhere, somehow. LOL.

I am glad you posted this. As part of my birth plan, the birth center I go to has clients decide on a celebratory meal to bring with them for after they have delivered. Last time I brought summer squash casserole and balsamic chicken. I have no clue what I want this time and I am supposed to have my birth plan ready for my 34 week appointment which is tonight. oops!

well since I am due on Thanksgiving Day, I've been telling all my family that if I am in the hospital on thanksgiving, somebody better bring me some turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy!
