Just make sure you eat before you head to the hospital. When your in pain about to give birth trust me eating will be the last thing on your mind lol

Im planning on having food delivered to me wen i get admitted. Im not guna even try to push on an empty stomache. Im the patient n im paying the hospitalso the last thing i will let happen is laying there with a growling stomache and no energy. I have a cooler packed with snacks that i will bring with my hospital bag. Hunger is not an option!!!! Especially if my labor turns out to be more than24 hours

Lol, you ladies made me hungry with all of this food talk but nervous with all of the poop talk, haha! I'm ready to eat everything and anything because I haven't had diarrhea, just solids but like once a day! I'm at 39 weeks today. :)

Aa long as you eat before they will let you use the bathroom and u can ask for a enema because you dnt push till 10 cm dilated so you will have time whether you go on a bedpan or toilet lol
