Meal for after birth

lauracklaurack
in April 2012 Moms

If all goes according to plan I will be delivering at the birth center, after delivery at some stage I will move to the hospital.

They suggest bringing snacks and stuff for labor and also a meal for after the birth. I hadn't even thought of this since once we are in the hospital they provide meals, but the birth center doesn't. They have a kitchen though.

Suggestions?! I have absolutely no idea what I'll feel like eating after I push a watermelon out of me, but I can only imagine I'll be starving since I won't have eaten in a long time and I'll have just completed the longest and hardest workout of my life.

I was thinking I'll just bring bread and have hubby make me toast, but what if I am ravenous and want a proper meal?

oh the things I am worrying about now that I am getting close...

    I am going to make my sister bring me a club sandwich when she comes up to visit. I have been dreaming about that club sandwich for months!

    eta: I'll be at the hospital too, and apparently their food is pretty good, but I really want the sandwich. lol. I guess if the restaurant isn't open, I'll just order something from the cafeteria.

    If that weren't an option, I'd just bring something easy.. like sandwich fixings!

    I'll be at the hospital, but the food isn't fantastic, so I'm having someone get me tacos!

    Last time I had a big ol Arby's sandwich and curly fries! This time I will be having a sandwich and potato salad, if the place is open. Hopefully I deliver before things close or after they open because I am not a big breakfast person and the though of McDonald's or Taco Hell after I deliver sounds disgusting.
    i wish i could be joking but my dad is the music teacher at a church so he owuld be mad. we had sex, all the time how bad i know but we dont want to wait and he said GREAT OH KAY! and I was really feeling the wets? down there- too embarsed to say- but he acted like man.

    I'm having MH or my ILs bring me sushi. A rainbow roll and two pieces of salmon sushi sound pretty amazing.

    It depends on the hour,... If its afternoon or evening I'm getting sushi delivered or  brought to me.  If its the middle of the night I'll just rely on snacks we bring with us I guess.

    If they're still open, my mom is picking up food for DH and I at my favorite local sushi place. If it's later at night and the sushi place is closed, we'll have pizza delivered (our only delivery option in my town). If it's too late for that, my hospital has sandwiches for middle-of-the-night moms.

    ETA: Sorry, that didn't answer your question at all ha. I would bring something easy like sandwich stuff and if you decide you want something bigger or have the time for it, have something delivered.

    After DD was born I wanted a Hot Pocket. I don't really remember why- I think DH had eaten one from the cafeteria while I was in labor.

    When I had DD the nurses brought me a menu to order from the hospital with the expectation that I would have her in the middle of the night and be hungry afterwards, and that they would fridge it for me until I was out of labor and ready to eat.

    In the end I got a lobster roll (we're in Maine) and pretty much forgot all about it once DD arrived. I ate it anyway because, I mean, come on, you don't say no to a lobster roll, but was I starving? No, not really. I was too high on adrenaline to care about eating. The NEXT day however, was different.

    oh I didn't even think of that, I can just have food delivered, or have my MIL bring me what I am in the mood for depending on the time of day! Oh that is much better!

    Thanks all!

    I was STARVING after birth. I ate cereal(Dr told me to eat light) the morning of, I labored all the way through lunch and dinner and I had her at 6:31pm, and the hospital kitchen/cafeteria closed at 6pm. One of the nurses managed to find me a turkey sandwich somewhere though, now that I think about it, I have no idea where it came from. It was just wrapped in plastic wrap, kinda sketch. Haha. But I devoured that sandwich and chugged a diet coke.

    Ditto this. I thought I would be excited to eat, but I really couldn't care less.
