First meal after birth

vanillalatte89 · February 2014

Remember way back someone posted about what would your first post birth meal be? Since we have a lot of outside babies I am interested in what everyone's first meals were! I am also looking for inspiration

mine was a huge slice of pizza! Then sushi for dinner

ymmayer · February 2014

I've been thinking about the sushi I'm going to have since that first post! I still have a week to go

sandraanddrew · February 2014

Mine was a crappy cheese sandwich from the hospital lounge since I was so damn hungry. I couldn't wait for anything special

Tim Hortons blueberry muffin. I'm still not up for a full meal and just graze constantly. I did have a steak and half a glass of sparkling wine for dinner last night though

Broth and jello, followed by toast so I.could take percocet. ;-)

My first actual meal was brown sugar oatmeal and pears. I wanted to ease back into food after more than a day without solid food. I had my sushi a couple days later. ;-)

Mine was hospital breakfast (which wasn't very good)- so I had DH go out and bring back a couple donuts!

slwprincess · February 2014

Thanks to the ice storm... Mine was gross hospital food:-(. I didn't get anything decent until after we left 4 days later :-(. It was zaxbys chicken fingers/fries/fried mushrooms. And it was delicious!

magentawarped · February 2014

I got a croissant sandwich from the hospital as soon as I got to the recovery room, but I had my calzone for dinner!

halfthetree · February 2014

Ugh mine was soooooo delicious. I just had baked chicken breast, steamed broccoli and brown rice about 2 hours after my daughter was born. I ate it so damn fast and it was the best meal I've ever eaten.

PeachLove25 · February 2014

Pizza!

Beachmommy1029 · February 2014

Cafe breakfast- biscuit and gravy, bacon, and toast. I was too hyped up to eat much.

Soap1 · February 2014

DS3 was born at 5:38pm and they brought me hospital dinner at 6:30. It was disgusting fish sticks and limp green beans, but I was so starving I scarfed it all up.

TessyMessy · February 2014

I ordered sesame chicken and veggie stir fry from the hospital. It was really good! DH got me a gigantic red velvet cake muffin for dessert. Yum!

TM14.defunct635821369925797514 · February 2014

I had beef tips and noodles. SO GOOD. But it was weird because the nurse fed it to me, since I was breastfeeding LO and my fiance was downstairs getting his own food when mine got there. Still it was the best thing I've ever tasted!

nebraska84 · February 2014

A lame turkey sandwich and apple. It was all they had once the cafeteria was closed.

dunvilles · February 2014

Mine was 2 grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup from the hospital cafeteria. It was so good! Had the same thing after my first son!!

Dexter&11 · February 2014

Mine was roast chicken

christen_z1 · February 2014

Chicken sandwich from the hospital cafeteria. It was ok but cold by the time we got to eat.

questisthebest · February 2014

I delivered at home and my mom made a smorgasbord of stuff, raviolis, pineapple, sweet potato fries, and salad. I felt like I had just ran a marathon so the raviolis were way too heavy and made me sick. The salad and pineapple were great though, and I did eat a few sweet potato fries as well. I was really not in the mood to eat I was so exhausted. Also, coconut water was heavenly for me.

I felt the same way! It was like "give me food and I don't care what it is or where it's from!" I was starving!! I had an open face hot turkey and gravy sandwich with mash potatoes. Of course it wasn't the best, but it hit the spot!

Me too! That was disappointing. We did stop at a really good hoagie place (on the way home from the hospital

) so I had lunch meat 3 days out!!

BioGirl21 · February 2014

I delivered at midnight so nothing was really open. My nurse gave me what she called a "mom box" that I'm guessing they have on hand for those that deliver at night. It had a turkey sandwich, sun chips, yogurt and apple slices in it. I scarfed down the sandwich because I hadn't eaten in over 24 hours and I was starving. I then proceeded to puke half of it back up, combination of eating too fast and drinking too much water too fast

I ate the sun chips and tossed the rest.

Giraffealaff · February 2014

Mine was hospital food. It was probably terrible, but at the time I thought it was the most delicious thing in the world. 36 hours, no food prior.

Babyhaynes14 · February 2014

Double bacon cheeseburger with fries and a sprite at 2 am. It was heavenly.

MissusPearson · February 2014

I delivered at 11:29pm so by the time we got settled in postpartum it was 3am. I wanted to send DH downstairs to the 24 hr Mcdonalds but we were both so exhausted I just went to bed hungry. The next morning I had a Clif bar and hospital breakfast which tasted delicious I was so hungry!! Scrambled eggs, sausage patties, an orange muffin and cranberry juice.

Zimger · February 2014

I delivered around 8am and ate lunch around 11 or 12. The cafeteria platter came with a whole bunch of food. I think I ate some soup and apple crisp. I couldn't stomach much more because I was to excited.

ziggy903 · February 2014

An orange Popsicle! Then chicken broth and jello the next morning. Yay csection!

But my first solid food was a cold turkey sandwich.

Noethola · February 2014

Chick-fil-a nuggets and fries. :-)

CarynJeanG · February 2014

Well because of caecti

CarynJeanG · February 2014

Well because of csection I had ice chips. But the 1st meal of my choosing was red robins BBQ chicken wrap and fries extra crispy. It was heavenly!

mdr619 · February 2014

The hospital cafeteria was closed when L was born so my first meal was actually a frozen lean cuisine that the nurse heated up for me. I was so freaking hungry at that point that it was delicious!

My first GOOD meal after DS was born was ahi poke and a big glass of red wine.

djtippietoes · February 2014

I think mine was apple juice and lorna doone cookies. For some reason, the hospital handed out a lot of lorna doone cookies.

But I did make my husband get me a rainbow roll while I was still in the hospital.

dadalou · February 2014

I was not hungry at all. I think I made myself eat a bowl of tomato soup for dinner.
