Hi, I was induced with my 2nd baby. The reason they do not let you eat is because there is a possibility for c section with any induction and you shouldnt have food in ur stomach during surgery. Hopefully u wont have one but its just a safety precaution just in case. I know how u feel. My induction took 3 DAYS, and I was STARVING too. Good luck hun, itll be worth it. :)
