What was your first meal after birth?

Question

Just for fun! With my son I had him at 8:06pm and the hospital told me the cafeteria was closed so they literally offered me a turkey and cheese sandwich 😐 sooo my mom went and got me a crispy chicken salad from Zaxbys and it was delicious! After my daughter I wanna say that I had a nice big cheese burger from Hardee’s. Baby #3 is due in June and so far I’m thinking about a Publix sub buttt I may change my mind after pushing lol. Oddly enough I always have my biggest cravings right AFTER the baby is born, not as much while I’m pregnant.

Answer

Am I the only one who actually loved that hospital sandwich?😂
With our first I literally stuffed my face lmao. Pizza, chicken wings, snacks, I don’t even remember what else but we ordered out from like 3 or 4 different places. Our second was born late at night and nothing was open, so I ate a sandwich and fruit.

Answer

I have no idea how anyone has an appetite.  Was in so much pain I couldn’t think about eating! I don’t think I ate a real meal until 3-4 weeks pp 😱

Answer

I had two home births. After my first, my husband microwaved some leftovers for me (it was 11pm when I was ready to eat). I think it was red beans and rice with sausage?
With my second, it was a slice of cake and a glass of champagne, in the birth pool, while baby was nursing for the first time 😂

Answer

The largest Starbucks coffee they would give my husband & an Agape Mediterranean bowl lmao. I had him at 8am-ish after a 24+ hr induction. That first meal after delivery hits so different, doesnt it?

What they served at hospital for breakfast. I think it was omelette and toast and soup. Never thought hospital food could taste so good. But I hadn’t eaten in more than 24 hours so ….

Answer

I had a sandwich with ham and queso fresco. Those were both things I didn’t eat while I was pregnant and craved through my whole pregnancy. My friends also brought me sushi it was the best.

Answer

Filet mignon with asparagus and mashed potatoes. My hospital has a gourmet chef since we have a “private” ward of the hospital that patients can pay for a more “luxurious hospital stay”. It’s some bougie stuff. But employees who give birth at the hospital (which I am) get a complimentary meal from the private chef. 10/10. 5 stars. Would do again. Next time I’ll bring a nice red wine to go with 😂

Answer
