[quote=Anonymous]You should definitely NOT be at the hospital for 24+ hours of labor, first of all. You should spend most of that time at home, and no OB is going to tell you not to eat at home. If your hospital does have rules about eating/drinking, know that most nurses are just going to turn their backs, and nobody is going to be watching you throughout labor to make sure you follow the rules. Where I delivered, they gave me Popsicles, and I drank juice. I'd eaten plenty at home, and that was just fine. I know that when I toured a birth center they were really proud of letting moms drink/eat whatever they want during labor, but admitted that most of the time moms just want Popsicles or a sports drink. If you're hungry enough to have a meal, you should probably still be at home. Don't sweat this rule![/quote]
