can you eat before induction?!?!

With my first i was induced and was allowed to eat for a few hours. But at a certain point wasnt allowed anything. Except when my nurse snuck me a cup of ice water..

This time i have to go in at 830 am. And was told i likely wouldnt have problems since i didn't with my first. But can i eat before i go in?! Or do i have to beNPO after midnight?
