Pre-induction light dinner suggestion?

samott · June 2015

I'm being induced tomorrow, but going into the hospital tonight at 9 for cervix prep. Doctor told me to eat a light dinner, any suggestions? If you've been down this road before, what did you eat that was light yet filling? My pregnancy hunger is already dreading the thought of this being my "last meal" for however long until baby's here. Thanks in advance!

Same situation- we went to chili's & I got a chicken flatbread. Made sure there was no jalapeños on it though!!! No spicy!!

Depends on how dilated your cervix is. If you're closed or 1-2 cm I would eat a REGULAR dinner. :P
It could take awhile.

Whoops. I didn't know it was supposed to be light. I was planning on stuffing my face before my induction on Sunday.

Ahh, just read @klkonwi 's reply. Yep. Still gonna stuff my face

They told me a light breakfast before my 9AM on Saturday. Light? What's that??

I feel like Friday night's dinner is going to be a Last Supper situation...

I ate a TON the night before the cutoff time and I was still hungry during labor. Not saying you should ignore dr's orders but don't go too light.!

At my last appointment I was told me to eat once labor starts. I asked her what to eat and she suggested high carb and protein, stay low in fat. Then she shared that she ate an entire pizza when when she went into labor and ended up barfing it all. Haha, that actually helped me remember what she told me.
