Snack suggestions for wedding tomorrow?

9 replies

I'm going to a wedding tomorrow and I'm 9 weeks pg today. Today I am ravenous ALL the time and if I don't eat I feel horribly nauseous. So I'm dreading tomorrow as we have to be at the venue at about 12, then sit through the ceremony, pictures etc and I have no idea when the meal is.
Can anyone suggest food to take with me that I can scoff discreetly?

Marks and spencer tub of flapjacks, the 2 for £5 ones I lived on them in early pregnancy, they re mouth size bites and you could put a few in a small bag and keep it I your handbag

Those Belvita breakfast biscuits I find quite filling, cheese is good too as the protein is filling so maybe some mini Babybel? Oh and almonds!

Oh yes mini babybels. I would try and scoff half a sandwich before the ceremony so you can at least have something substantial in your stomach throughout it. People might think you rather rude scoffing food during the ceremony but after I'm sure people wouldn't notice a quick scoff in the corner during pictures and meet and greet. I found boiled sweets to be a lifesaver but I had to have one in my mouth at all times.

Breakfast bars. DH had to run and get one for me once when I almost fainted in the bank!

I'm the same at the moment, PB--I'm finding babybels (as suggested) really filling, apples (too big?), oat cakes (usually come in small packs of 6 in the box, so handy) and edamame beans also.
Also maybe take some boiled sweets, like sherbert lemons or mints? I'm finding these help if I can't get to food! Also, I found natural yogurt, oats and honey has been a good breakfast for staving off the nausea for a bit. Enjoy the wedding!

Special K bars have been my staple all throughout my pregnancy but definitely got me through the first trimester. Also, pack of ginger nut biscuits.

If you're looking for something healthy the Urban Fruit bags that Asda sell are really nice, the baked mango & pineapple are both really nice.

I find a bag of mixed nuts and raisins really help.
