What was the last meal you had before the big moment!! Just for fun

mari0397 · June 2015

i am getting induced on Friday. Friday I be 40w1d. And I just freaking out about pooping!!! While pushing. I know is normal if it happened but I trying to prevent it lol. I not a meat eater but doesn't been anything. This pass days my body has been cleaning it self. I go to the bathroom right after every meal. I just a little worry and what to see, what u girls had to eat before and if u had an accident while pushing.

Getting induced tomorrow so tonight I'm having mexican food and cake

aliciaspinnet · June 2015

Its only 2 weeks ago, but it feels like so much longer. I'm not sure but I think I probably had Keema (a kind of Indian lamb mince curry), Dhal and Carrot Upkari (carrots cooked with onion, desiccated coconut and spices). I'm sure I had cake - chocolate cinnamon pound cake.

Ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans and salad (we went to dinner at my inlaws). It was tasty and provided me with the energy needed to get through a long night of labour!

As for pooping. I didn't poop, but kinda wish I had, as it would've made my first PP poop a little less scary!

LaurenAnn0405 · June 2015

I had lasagna, rolls, green salad, and ice cream for dessert. I wasn't allowed to eat past midnight (6AM induction) but DH was sneaking me chex mix while I was hooked up to pitocin because I was starving and ice chips weren't cutting it. I didn't poop at all during labor but I also didn't have any issues with my body cleaning itself out before labor either.

Greasy dominoes pizza and bowl after bowl of raisin bran. I felt as if my butt would explode...poop. But actually just a beautiful baby boy.

ElRuby · June 2015

Burger King... It was either that or starve....I am happy I chose the grease...

awolfff · June 2015

Hot carrots and a Bean and cheese burrito with enchilada sauce, salsa and more cheese on top. Fried ice cream for dessert. I went when I started having contractions...no accidents though

Westypet · June 2015

I had chili!!! Wasn't expecting water to break and was gonna do an ultra feast, a last supper, but it didn't happen!

I didn't hear anything about pooping on the table, so if I did, the nurses cleaned it up.

btm013 · June 2015

I had eggplant parm (it's said to induce labor and I can say it did for me! - something with the herbs). I didn't poop but I farted up a storm! Couldn't stop them from coming. Oh well. Your SO is going to see way worse so don't even worry about poop!

rolson8947 · June 2015

After my cervical ripening, my SO and I drove about 30 minutes up the road to the nearest Italian restaurant and I ate lasagne...I was contracting the whole time. We came home and took about a 2 hour nap and when I woke up we decided we needed to go back to labor and delivery. My water broke after filling out my paperwork to get checked back in. A few hours later it was time to start pushing and I definitely pooped on myself. I was soooo worried about pooping while delivering, but if you happen to do it then it doesn't matter like you thought it would.

so don't worry!!

Eggs and I can't remember what else after having contractions through the night. Last big meal was Panang Curry with Chicken. Water had broken and we were trying spicy food to start those contractions! I thought I popped during labor but DH doesn't think so. I wouldn't have cared if I did! My team has seen it all

MirandaDanielle · June 2015

I was a week late and I had to be induced, the last thing I ate was chicken strips and French fries from backyard burgers and a couple giant homemade chocolate chip cookies (courtesy of my mama)

I didn't poop....but believe me you will feel like you are about to...not just in delivery either, long before you push! I could have sworn I was about to poop everywhere, but luckily I didn't! Even if you do they will wipe it away and you'll never even realize you did it

thay33 · June 2015

I had a bagel and a donut & I didn't poop

Serenamarr · June 2015

I had eggs, rye toast with peanut butter, watermelon, Nutella and graham crackers. Pooped a bunch but didn't care one bit.

lindsladle15 · June 2015

Big 'ol burger, potato salad, milkshake! Pooped twice (in toilet) while laboring, then pooped during pushing, too. NBD. Poop happens.

foxa319 · June 2015

I went into the hospital to be induced on a wed at o6pm and was told not to eat past noon that day... F that I had pizza and wings at 5 pm right before I went in! I was closed thick and high and knew there was no way I was having a baby that night! Glad I did eat bc I didn't have the baby until 7:10 am on Saturday and all I had was beef broth and water the 2.5 days I was there! I didn't poop but take some colace or miralax today if your worried about it!

SarahBaby87 · June 2015

I actually drove to the Whataburger by my house while my contractions were 5 minutes apart... I'm crazy I know. But I was starving and knew I wouldn't be able to eat for a long while after getting to the hospital. Also I knew I had a few hours until my husband could come take me to the hospital anyways. I had the avacado bacon burger with fries and an iced tea. No pooping for me.

aj1327 · June 2015

I had baked ziti right before I went into labor. Once contractions kicked in full force I threw it all up. And I'm pretty sure I still pooped a bit, but my L&D nurse was an absolute rock star and was super discreet.

magono20 · June 2015

Had a chicken sandwich before this little guy made his arrival. I did however throw it up while in labor so that was no fun! Good luck ladies! It's worth every miserable contraction!!

KaLikeAWind · June 2015

Breakfast. Scrambled eggs and toast. Was not allowed anything other than 'clear foods and liquids' after induction, but I was allowed to eat some jello packs thru the day. I did not poop during pushing, but I had pooped earlier in the day in between cytotec and the Dr breaking my water.

queequeg09256 · June 2015

I had otter pops. But I had a three day induction hadn't eaten for 30 hours and still pooped when pushing. But my labor pretty much sucked until my baby girl was here hahaha. I also knew I was pooping so that was super gross. I kept apologizing about it in between pushes and yelling at this one nurse who was holding my leg really awkwardly so I couldn't brace on it at all. So many people poop though I really don't think anyone other than me cared.

HoosOnFirst · June 2015

The night before my water broke we had a fancy Taco Bell dinner because per usual was too tired to cook. After the Cytotec induction, I tried to get real dinner but started having contractions quickly and didn't make it out of the hospital. Ended up eating crappy Sbarro pizza.

DH said I did not poop. With an epidural, I certainly could not tell either way!

mghershkowitz · June 2015

Jello. The nurse at the hospital wouldn't give me anything else. But the night before I had a bowl of cereal :-??

mari0397 · June 2015

Thanks lady's. I know that when the moment comes I will not care. But right now everything is crossing my mind. Good luck to everyone!!!❤️❤️

AlyLynn07 · June 2015

While in labor, I had scrambled eggs and toast, followed by a peanut butter, jelly, and banana sandwich. Guess I was going for protein/energy. I did not have nausea, but did poop a few times while laboring at home. No poop while pushing, but baby came out fast!

rklinge0 · June 2015

I guess my last meal was a bowl of ice cream was my dinner that night and a snack of a banana after my water broke because I didn't want to go to the hospital starving. I didn't poop during pushing but had diarrhea during my contractions and vomited too.

delujm0 · June 2015

Last meal before I went into labor was a waffle cone of chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream. Started having random contractions overnight, but before it got regular I had a bowl of cereal and glass of dark chocolate almond milk for breakfast. Once I knew it was the real deal, I had a toasted turkey sandwich, chips, and a cut up bell pepper for lunch before heading to the hospital.

My body was doing a pretty good job of cleaning me out before stuff really got moving. I don't think I pooped on the table. If I did, no one told me, and I don't care anyway. I would have gladly pooped on all the things to get her out of me. But that's what 7 hours of active pre-epidural back labor followed 4 hours later by 2.5 hours of pushing will do to you.

It took me 4 PP days to poop again, even though I ate like a maniac after the birth. Stool softeners are my bff right now.

staceyfern · June 2015

Spaghetti pizza. And it wound up being my first meal when I got home which is super because my hubby really doesn't care for it.

littlemsmagic138 · June 2015

Pasta with tomato sauce... Same thing I had the night before I had my first baby. Don't know if I pooped because it was only five minutes between my water breaking/pushing and baby girl being born.... Too fast to tell! I don't think so, though.

staceyfern · June 2015

I'm positive I pooped. And more than once. I thought I would freak out if I knew it happened while pushing, but when it was actually happening I could not care less. All I cared about was getting LO out because damn it was hard work. And I had to have an oxygen mask on and it was so hot and sweaty and uncomfortable it took away from worrying about the pooping. I am going to send the labor and delivery nurses a little thank you present because what they do for us is unbelievable.

Oh. And I pooped once at my house before we left for the hospital and once when we first got there before I checked in so I actually really thought popping during pushing would not happen to me. Oh well : )
