Going in tonight to be induced question.

mrswright

So my doctor didnt say anything about not eating or eating. But the u.s tech said not to eat cuz I could get sick or poop during labor. I was hoping to enjoy one last good meal and dessert before I go in. I mean I could be in labor all day tomorrow if I don't eat today I'm definitly gonna be shaky from not eating today. What do you think?

I ate both with both of my girls before I went in. I was glad I did, both my labors were 21 hours. EAT!!!

I guess its all up to you though. I personally would. I've had 2 children, both inductions, both vaginally and ate before my induction both times. If I didn't, I would never of had the strength to go through my long labors. They wont start pitocin tonight, not until morning so I would eat but that's up to you. Good luck hun!

I wouldn't eat, I learned my lesson with that. I thought the same way so I ate and drank a pop on my way to the hospital.(I wasn't induced though) when we got there I found out I had complications and would have to have an emergency c section and if you've ate the have to put you under instead of just giving you the spinal. With inductions the chance of it ending in a c section is pretty good and being put under is terrifying so I would not eat just in case. Good luck hun! Maybe call and ask the doctors office? Or hospital?

I think I will eat a little throughout the day, I don't do so well getting sick so I don't really wanna chance it. But I know if I dont eat I get the shakes. Thank you ladies for your input.

I ate after my water broke but before I went into the hospital, and Im glad I did, because they wouldnt let me eat later for a whole day. I did have to do an emergency csection, and they just upped my epidural, they didnt put me under.

mrswright

@momof22be thank you, an will do
@captainmorgaine thanks for your info, I'm definitly going to eat.

I was induced and they told me not to eat or drink after midnight. I got there at 7 am and the doctor finally let me have crackers and toast around 2 pm then nothing more until after I delivered which was 8. It was horrible and all my family was there and they ate pizza right in front of me. As soon as I delivered I made sure my boy was okay and I chowed down pizza. Lol. If you eat I would make it something light
