labor snacks?

Phoenix, I would say that it's up to you. These are mainly suggestions and as you can see, there are a wide variety of opinions on this issue. Eat/bring the food you feel will give you that extra bit of energy and that you don't mind throwing up, when/if that happens. My labor was 24+ hours, half of that at home, and I would not have been able to push for 3 hours if I had not eaten anything once labor started.

I agree, go with what feels right.

For me I only wanted to eat bland things but everyone is different. Some people find sweet things really help.

With my first we brought Gatorade, jello, nuts and oat based cereal bars. I had a fast labor with intense contract tons so only managed the jello but my husband was so glad of everything we'd packed.
