I'm going in at 12 mid-day tomorrow to be induced.
I was thinking i should have breakfast and then a snack before we leave the house, as kicking into labor could take hours - BUT then i started thinking about nausea, full tummy if labor kicks off easily, etc. ...
The hospital haven't said anything about eating/not eating. Googling throws up some advice about having nothing for 8 hours or so before induction. I'm worried about energy levels rather than hunger. I've had natural labors before - no not had this dilemma!
Any wisdom?
