I'm really jealous of those of you that get special hospital meals. We get regular hospital food. I want fillet mignon and crab cakes!
Yeah, my hospital didn't get the special food memo.
Ditto, just standard hospital food.
When my mom had her babies, she and my dad got a candlelight steak dinner with wine the last night in the hospital. (And she got to stay a week for standard vaginal births. My hospital lets you stay 2 days for vaginal birth & 3 days for c-section.)
We get a steak dinner before we go home too. Not sure what kind of steak, but you also get potatoes, asparagus, and a delicious hot fudge brownie with ice cream on top. All the patients rave about it. I'm fortunate that our hospital also has pretty good (24/7) food in general.

My confession is that I haven't talked to my baby yet. They suggest you talk to them every day so they will begin to know your voice, but a part of me just still feels disconnected. Is something wrong with me? Part of me will maybe feel more inclined to talk to her after my anatomy scan in two weeks (there's still a voice in the back of my head that is telling me not to get too connected until we get the anatomy scan done). I feel badly like I should be bonding with her more. There, I said it.

She can still hear you talking, even if it's not directed at her. I haven't ever talked to my babies while they were inside of me. I wouldn't worry
Confession #2: I had McDonald's for breakfast. A sausage McGriddle, two hash browns and a half cut iced tea.
For dinner, I had Ryan pick me up McDonald's. I had a 10 pc nugget with BBQ and honey mustard and a medium fry.
My game piece on my nuggets was a winner of a premium McWrap. I don't even know what that is, but I am tempted to go to McD's and get it right now. 8->
I'll confess that I ate Chipotle for lunch three days in a row this week. The first two days were intentional, the third was a happy accident. I had a lunch meeting they ordered in for and I didn't know it was Chipotle until that day.
FFFC: Last weekend I asked my husband to buy me 3 kinds of ice cream bars (yes, 3). Being the wonderful DH he is he went to the grocery store and comes back with 3 store brand (not blue bunny) ice cream bars and one of them was the wrong one. I seriously teared up I was so sad. I swear I'm not a brat and fortunately the store brand was just as good as blue bunny.
My hormones don't get too whacky very often, and I felt so bad afterwards for crying over ice cream.
I asked DH to get me Moose Trax ice cream when he made a run to the store, I was very specific about what brands were acceptable. He brought me back the half fat, not right brand. #1 - why the hell did you get me low fat? Are you try to say something? #2 - it was gross. I definitely cried about it.
I have two fffc: 1. I am looking forward to being in the hospital again when I have this baby because the food is pretty good. You get a little menu and can call and order whatever you want, whenever you want.
2. I emailed the Olive Garden today to see when their never-ending pasta bowl is coming back.
I swear, all I ever think about is food. What the eff?
I found out today the hospital I am delivering at brings you and SO filet mignon dinners after the birth. I'm dreading it a little less now.
Ours has sushi!!!!! I'm actually excited. I know this is probably the last thing I'll think about after labor, but for now it's kind of fun to think about.
It is not. You are starving. I had. Csection so they wouldn't let me eat until 12am that night. I got the only sandwich they had left and some jello. I was so hungry I didn't care. I hadn't eaten for over 24 hours at that point. Food is one of the first things you think about.

That makes me feel better. I was starting to think that I'm insensitive or something..maybe bc my DH talks to her more than me. Oh well, at least I know I'm not the only one! Thanks
I've heard that people like you exist, I just didn't want to believe it.
Brace yourself @runningmama14 for what I'm about to say.....I've had it and I don't like it.
Ditto what @kristy774 said.. not a fan, don't get the hype

I like Moe's better!! Moe's has melty queso...automatic win!
Qdoba has queso too, and even though I get the same burrito at both Chipotle and Qdoba (they taste different but they're both delicious), when my husband asks which one I want, Qdoba always wins because queso!

OMG!!??? Where do you people live??? Hospitals with crab cakes, filet mignon, sushi, champagne??? WTF?! In NYC the private rooms have special menus but the private rooms costs $800 a night! I'd rather spend that eating at Per Se the night before I go in for my scheduled RCS. And even then I'm still saving money. But damn I wish my hospital offered all those amazing foods!!
Oooohhhhh, I Qdoba! In my first tri, I went there repeatedly because the only thing I consistently had an appetite for other than chocolate milk was tacos. I would get the 2 tacos and tortilla soup combo. Mmm....Qdoba. There is one right across the street from my work...and this is my weekend to work...
ETA: I honestly love how almost all of our threads turn to talking about poop, food or sex. For some of you, this may just be pregnancy talk, but for me this has always been what my conversations devolve to!
Ha! I got a "welcome" letter from our hospital's birth center this week listing their amenities (one being a special dinner)... Never thought that could mean steak & sushi! Now I'm curious lol
Okay, now I feel silly saying I'm looking forward to my hospital food. Filet? Champagne? Brownie with ice cream?! When I say we get a menu, I mean I can get a veggie sandwich with a bag of plain Lay's. In my defense, though, I couldn't eat for the majority of the days I was in the hospital (was in for a week) because I got pretty sick after having DD and was put on a clear liquid diet when they would let me "eat", so that veggie sandwich was about the best thing I'd ever tasted.
I'll confess that I ate Chipotle for lunch three days in a row this week. The first two days were intentional, the third was a happy accident. I had a lunch meeting they ordered in for and I didn't know it was Chipotle until that day.
I had chipotle for lunch today I say chipotle everyday!!!

Speaking of Chipotle and birth, that was the lat meal I had before giving birth to DS! I remember my mom talking about how much she was starving when she was in labor with my sister and they wouldn't let her eat. So before we went to the hospital, I made DH take me to Chipotle. I sat there in the restaurant eating my burrito bowl and timing my contractions on my phone!
I'm seeing all this talk of Chipotle & Moe's...ladies, Tijuana Flats is the clear winner.
How are you feeling? Everything going ok? I think of you often.
Aww, thanks I'll be honest -- some days are hard. I've backed off this board for a bit, but I love you guys so you know I'll always be back! I'm so happy to see that everyone seems to be doing well..wishing nothing but the best for all of you!
