Meal prior to induction?

Question

I’m going in tomorrow night at 9 for antibiotics since I am GBS+ and then they’re planning to do the induction Monday morning. I have no idea what I should eat for dinner before I go into the hospital. I packed some rxBars and coconut water in my bag that hopefully they’d let me snack on Monday morning but for my last meal ... what would you suggest. What should I possibly avoid?

Answer

Eat a BIG meal a few hours before you go and be sure it’s something that doesn’t normally give you any reflux issues. I wasn’t allowed to eat anything once I was admitted and my labor was 26 hours long. I was starving by the time I was finally able to eat again.

Answer

Don’t drink a large chocolate shake from McDonald’s. Cause that’s why I did and vomited everywhere 😂

Answer

I was allowed to eat while being induced because I started on cervix ripeners. I just wasn’t allowed anything about 6 hours before they started pitocin. I think it depends on how the induction goes.

Answer

I sneak food in 😂 I’m hypoglycemic during pregnancy and get more sick from not eating.

Answer

Eat a big meal before hand, but make sure it has lots of protein to get you through labor.
Also question; Are they inducing you because of being GBS+? I was GBS+ with my daughter and I went into labor naturally at 41+3... so just curious.

Answer

Eat a good meal for sure but maybe not a heavy meal. I can’t remember what I had before going in but I was also allowed to eat the entire time until I got my epidural.

Answer

Also when you get the antibiotics make sure they dilute it with fluids and ask for an ice pack. My entire arm burned like crazy
