What snacks are I bringing to l&d?

Question

I’m lost on what to take....

Answer

You want easily digestible foods. Honestly the best snacks don’t travel well (toast, fruit, yogurt, broth, etc) so make sure you have those around the house for while you’re in early labor. You can bring some crackers, granola bars, individual nut butter packages, things like that to the hospital. It’s just as important to stay hydrated. Bring some Gatorade/coconut water. Your l&d probably has popsicles.

Answer

I got this from amazon simple and easy and something my husband can snack on

Answer

I’m leaving that to my husband and he bought some granola bars, crackers, cookies, and water and I think wants to grab fruit, too. 
Honestly, I don’t care what we bring because chances are I won’t eat any of it. My first birth they actually told me not to eat anything once labor really got underway and at the hospital all they would let me have was ice chips. I did eat a yogurt and a banana before we left for the hospital because the thought of not eating for a whole day scared me. Well, needless to say once I got into active labor I had to throw up and they were gone. I hadn’t known labor makes you vomit. 🤷🏼‍♀️ This time my hospital provided me with the consent paperwork for the epidural in advance and I actually had to sign that I wouldn’t eat 6 hours before getting an epidural. So I figure if there is a chance that I want one (highly likely in my case), since it’s basically impossible to know when exactly I would need it, snacking at the hospital will be pretty much out of the question unless of course I have to go in for an induction and turn out to be one of those unfortunate souls for whom that takes forever. But I kind of figure in that case the hospital would admit and feed me, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I’m bringing trail mix, granola bars, honey sticks, and coconut water. I’ve been told by many people that I won’t want to eat in labor though, so I’m definitely not going to overpack on the snacks!

Answer

My hospital won't allow anything outside of like jello and Gatorade in labor and delivery. After delivering, I can eat whatever I like, so I'm definitely bringing some little Debbie's, chips, and pineapple juice in my hospital bag.

Answer

Definitely bring lots of snacks! Things that are easy and keep well without a fridge. Our hospital had a fridge for patients that they could use but I don’t know if that’s common. We didn’t think to bring a lot of snacks because I figured my husband would run out to get food if we needed it. It was such a mistake especially in the middle of the night when nothing is open. I didn’t want him to leave me either lol 
Thank god for my family bringing food when they came up because the hospital food was terrible! My husband ended up eating all my food.

Answer
