Quick question

Anyone going to carb load ready for labour?. I'm naturally craving carbs at the moment anyway, so naturally thought about carb loading, after all labour is a marathon not a sprint. :-)

GD says no.

I'd just eat normally. Then again I've puked in both of my previous labors so eating big amounts in advance doesn't appeal

I didn't love tit cause you puked, but because I did, too!

I'm planning on eatting a meal before I go to L&D but definitely not just carb loading. I also plan on stopping at a Subway or something and grabbing a sub to throw in a fridge at the hospital, just in case I deliver in the middle of the night.

I carb load everyday because I love them

. When I go into labor, I will eat whatever I can because last time I didn't and was so exhausted by the end it was nuts.

I'm just trying to maintain the weight I'm at right now and not put on any more. So hard because sweets are calling my name day and night! I just asked DH to make me French toast! And of course I feel bigger everyday. Ready for baby to make his entrance!

I couldn't eat anything when I went into labor, that was part of how I knew I was in "real" labor. I ate breakfast that morning and didn't feel like eat anything until the next morning after I delivered. I had plenty of energy due to the adrenaline rush!

RCS, not allowed to eat the night before

With my first one I was not able to eat anything before I went into labor. I tried but nothing looked good so I will try to eat but I don't think it will happen.

Me too and I still threw up during the whole surgery!

I could not eat when I was in labor, not even early labor. The thought of putting food in my mouth just made my stomach turn. We did have a spaghetti dinner the night I went into labor so I could have carb loaded if I wasn't feeling so yucky.

I am so glad I didn't eat anything before labor because I had a few bouts of violent puking. My nurse was awesome, and she said " Well your forceful puking should help push him lower" which I responded with "Great..I'm going to puke my baby out" Personally I wouldn't eat anything beforehand.

MMAMama · June 2014

I was the same when I was in active labour, but in the days running up I only had small meals mostly pasta, cous cous or rice. The last lo I had I didn't eat much at all and got really tired quick so I'm going to try little and often again. :-)

My midwife suggested easily
Digestible foods. Honey sticks, dried fruits, crackers, etc. I plan in keeping something light in my stomach if I can throughout labor. More focused on staying hydrated.

MollySm · June 2014

With my first I wasn't allowed to eat the whole time I was in labor at the hospital (24 hours) though I definitely cheated here and there. I was starving! This time I'm definitely getting something on the way to the hospital before they can tell me no. I was just thinking about how late/early the donut shop opens... I don't have a sweet tooth when I'm not pregnant, and have a crazy one when I am, so I figure the final day I'd better enjoy it

I couldn't eat before I went to the hospital. I knew I needed to but just couldn't. I ate dinner at 6pm the day before and went to hospital at 530am and delivered at 630pm. I def had a big ole chicken fried steak after delivery though. I really wasn't hungry throughout the day.

enpowers · June 2014

@sumochik‌ I am deathly afraid of puking during surgery! I'm not even planning or scheduled to have a csection, I'm just afraid of feeling like ass the whole time. What do they have you do to get sick just turn your head? Everyone I talk to tells me to eat before going to the hospital and I totally saw Taco Bell in my near future- not after reading these responses.....
