eating for before an induction

[babydue07182013]

They told me not to eat anything past midnight before my 6 am induction. What's the difference if you est right before you go into labor? I don't get it. So tmrw I'm gonna be starving -.- I think I'm gonna eat anyways. If I get sick, I get sick

@ cali_momma I think she thought I was going straight in for pitocin. It could be 12 hrs before they start that lol I'm eating breakfast and well see how it goes

I didn't eat, i ate the night i fell asleep and woke up to my water breaking! So i hadn't ate in awhile and i puke peed and pooped!  Lol i think it has nothing to do with eating...

I went to ihop and ate a big breakfast right before I went to the hospital! Simply because I was gonna be on the cervidal for 12 hrs! .. and I was still starving!!! I was so thirsty more than anything. My dr was even nice enough to let my bf get me a meal after my cervidal was done right before starting pitocin! Good luck momma todays your big day!! :))

So they dont want u to eat in case u poop or puke? But like 70% of women do that anyway....and seriously i dont think anyone cares if u poop the bed and im sure u wont care either lol not when ur in the middle of pushing a little being out of our wooha! I know they dont recommend to eat before a c-section but whats the difference if the mom goes into labour gets in the hospital and needs a c-section right away? Well.....if it was truly important they would want you to go in before midnight to monitor and make sure u dont eat. So obviously theyve had people eat before and it wasnt the end of the world lol

I had allan emergency section after a 10 hour active labour, id still had all my meals lol. Food only affects general anesthetia and its very very rare that they knock you out for your section. It may have somethin to with toileting but when you're in labour that's the least of your worries lol x

I think its incase you need a c section,  i personally will have money on hand for after birth this time to send someone to get me something!  During my 1st labor i woke up to my water breaking at 6 something almost 7in the morning in labor 12 hours and dinner was served at 4 something she was born at 6:53 pm! I didn't have money and starved until the next morning :(
