Last time, I just felt sick and didn't want anything during labour ... could barely manage water.
This time, I hope not to feel the same level of sickness, so want to pack some snacks, but can't think what.

so, what snacks did you enjoy during labour?
Oh, and what snacks did your OH enjoy?

I made a load of these, for when I was in labour/hospital afterwards. They are really lovely, high energy and good to give to MW's who are nice to you!

I packed dried apricots, cereal bars and foxes glacier fruits but was banned from eating anything by my otherwise lovely midwife!

I was induced by drip after my waters broke but labour didn't start naturally and think she was concerned that it might all end in a section. It didn't help when she told me that I could have eaten anything I wanted had I been in he midwife led unit next door...

I was starving and must admit that I secretly munched some of the stash when she wasn't looking! The glacier fruits really helped to take away the foul taste in my mouth from the gas and air, so would recommend them.

Tea and toast never tasted so good afterwards :)
