Just felt like posting a fun silly thread! (36+4 and I am clearly bored...) When ds was born I had to stay in hospital overnight and hubby brought me in a half bottle of champagne (that waited till I got home as I thought the midwives might not like me having a glass on the postnatal ward...), some pate and stilton. It was soo nice to indulge in some previously forbidden treats! I am planning the same pate feast again this time, plus dreaming about soft-boiled eggs with toast soldiers.... drooling :)

Goats cheese! Baby due imminently and am drooling at our local deli counter

zigwig · 03/10/2012 20:39

Brie! Though I've got ages to wait. I miss soft cheese!

If my gestational diabetes has gone: CHIPS and CHOCOLATE. If it hasn't gone, champagne, camembert, Brie.

Badgerina · 03/10/2012 21:38

Champagne, pâté, steak tartare.

xmasevebundle · 03/10/2012 22:24

Agree with a runny egg! Even worse when you crave themSad

A runny egg with bacon and when the egg pops it goes everywhere! Also runny egg with chips! i feel depressed now

I really want a glass of baileysBlush

DH is under instructions to have a bottle of Bombay Sapphire, tonic, ice and lemon awaiting my return from hospital. May not drink it all in one go (!), but fantasising about that first sip... Grin

CailinDana · 03/10/2012 23:41

Eh I am 20 weeks and ate pate and a runny egg today! I don't hold much truck will all the warnings TBH.

A huge hunk of bread smothered with brie and pate...

Happybunny12 · 04/10/2012 05:28

Realistically, the first thing you'll eat will probably be the toast the midwives bring you... Wink

DeeMidwife · 04/10/2012 06:24

Haha, what a great thread! The first thing I ate after having my youngest was tea and toast and it tasted like the bEST tea and toast ever! Other than that what I desperately wanted was peanut butter but it was several months before I got to have any of that :(

ZuleikaD · 04/10/2012 06:37

My husband always eats the toast because I've usually got a new baby clamped to my breast and I can't get to it. Realistically it'll probably be the same as the previous times - the dextrose tablets left over from labour.

BikeRunSki · 04/10/2012 06:44

It was tea and toast both times. With DD I'd had a GA and they made me wait 24 hours.

When DS was a week old and we were still in hospital and I'd decided that bf was not for us, I sent DH a message that said "Peanut butter, Stilton, Red wine"

newtonupontheheath · 04/10/2012 07:20

The actual first thing will be the massive pack of Jaffa cakes I have waiting

The first "proper" thing will be bread with cheese from the cheese hamper my friend is making me Grin

Mmmm yum :) You're all right about the tea and toast though in reality! Although with ds I do remember the cheap hospital toast being the best I'd ever tasted! I think they brought hubby a bacon sandwich while I was in labour and I didn't get anything...

May have to go and drool at my local deli cheese counter today... :)

You can eat Stilton, you can eat Brie and Camembert and soft goats cheese (as long as these last three are cooked).

Dogsmom · 04/10/2012 08:28

Placenta on toast.

Just kidding.

AnneH656 · 04/10/2012 08:56

oo straight from the cow still bleeding steak......

and a glug of wine that isnt just an inch in the bottom of a glass and 'savoured'. bugger that!

sparkle12mar08 · 04/10/2012 09:00

We had champagne and a chinese takeaway after ds2 was born. He was born at home at 6.03 pm and by 8pm we had takeaway on the table ready to eat! Was bloody gorgeous!

LauraPalmerPlusOne · 04/10/2012 09:19

Envy @ sparkle's sneeze birth and post Chinese dinner

(mmmmm, now I want Chinese beef and noodles...)

plonko · 04/10/2012 10:09

I'd like to order a sneeze birth followed by a glass of rioja and a rare steak sarnie please.

StateofConfusion · 04/10/2012 11:13

Cheeses, loads of different cheeses.

minipie · 04/10/2012 11:19

Rare steak here. Possibly several.

And a very large gin and tonic (which I probably won't be allowed due to BFing Sad)

HermioneE · 04/10/2012 11:23

shit am I not supposed to be eating runny eggs? I thought it was just raw / rawish ones like in carbonara that were verboten?

Ah well. Bit late now.

G&T sounds good post-birth though. Or a martini. Or champagne. Or muscadet. By Feb I think I'll be ready to drink white spirit tbh...

ZuleikaD · 04/10/2012 11:30

Why aren't you supposed to eat Chinese food?

stowsettler · 04/10/2012 11:52

I've been eating runny eggs. Nipperette is currently beating a tattoo on my lower abdomen, I don't think she's too bothered by them.

Afterwards = champagne, and some Epoisses: the most disgusting-smelling but delicious-tasting runny unpasteurised cheese in the world.
