[quote=Anonymous]To the snacker comments (as I have no idea about anything related to edibles that doesn't relate to snacking) --

I didn't know I was in labor because I was stupid and thought it was just gas.  I was planning to have lunch with my DH after my OB appointment, so I had an empty stomach when there and was starving.  My OB announced that I was 5cm dilated and should probably start thinking about going to the hospital, especially since labor might be moving quickly since I hadn't recognized it as labor yet.

We rushed home to get my things, and I was seriously hungry and afraid I'd never be allowed to eat at the hospital.  I stuffed a cheesy tortilla down my throat as we jumped into the car and drove to the hospital.

Upon entering my room at the hospital, I immediately threw up the entire tortilla.  After that, I was never sick again but had zero desire to eat.

So I think snacking might work for some but in the later stages of labor is really not at all going to appeal or even be possible for many women's bodies.[/quote]
