Hospital food

I’m scared about being in the hospital food and having to eat hospital food 😂 I’m a big girl and those unsalted eggs and bread isn’t gonna do it for me and I work in the hospital so I know how they feel about policy and now being able to go get food for anyone so I’m thinking about bringing a bunch of snacks

I had snacks and regularly ate out as I was at the hospital for a while but if I asked the kitchen for seasoning they gave it to me

Bring salt and pepper. And yes, snacks is a great idea as well.

I brought snacks and I doordashed breakfast a few hours before I had my son, nobody told me anything about food. Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t eat at any time you need food for energy to birth the baby!

The thing is the staff won’t go down and get the food , so if I want Popeyes and my family isn’t around I’m fucked bc no staff will go get it and DoorDash won’t come upstairs

I was so lucky my birth center was connected to a hospital with an amazing cafeteria. Unless you already know you could double check what the menu looks like? Might not be too bad.

yeah you see I’ve never been that hungry thank god lmaoo I told everyone don’t come see me unless you have food , I’m not playing lmaoo it make me panic . I also have my therapist in the same hospital as the one ima give birth in so ima let her know , whenever you go get food or lunch just call me I’ll DoorDash for both of ya us just bring me some food lol

Me either lol I barely ate the two weeks I was in there outside of the snacks they would be bring me and when my oldest brought me food. I eventually asked them to stop bringing trays because they were just going to waste

Our hospital had an awesome cafeteria 😀

Avatar

I’m bringing snacks but also the hospital I’m going to is fine with people ordering food or bringing stuff in.

Avatar

yeah, our s was totally fine with that too. After having him and getting settled in the mother and baby room.... The cafeteria was closed so to speak..... So hubby went on got milkshakes and food 😋😁😂😂😂 ( June 21 23 🥰)

Damn my hospital had okay food, like it wasn’t horrible and I’m a foodie. My husband went to go grab me dinner before I had the baby then he got me sushi after i had baby.

Avatar

The first time I was in the hospital the food was awful but recently I had to stay a few days in a different hospital and the food was surprisingly good actually

Avatar

I actually loved my hospital experience the food was good the bed was so comfy and the shower was super accessible

Avatar

The food at the hospital I went to was also really good. We even got a really yummy mini bundt cake!

Avatar

yeah the last time I was in the hospital I threw the whole tray in the trash like I just want the bread and butter lol everything else you can give it to someone else one of the reason why I love my little brother because I had to stay in the hospital and he brought me Chinese food child I thought I was in heaven

many hospitals do have a cafeteria, I know Einstein had an amazing food place across the street from them but Harlem idk I don’t like to much about Harlem and they food and there is nothing by the hospital I like so ima dads to pack meals or something lol

Avatar

Idk where everyone is from but I have never complained about the hospital food my favorite to order is the Asian meals you choose any starch and your choice of meat

Avatar

I need to know where you all live in case I decide to have another baby lol

Avatar

Avatar

I don’t mine the food especially when you ask for the salt and pepper and you can customize your meal I love it 😭 I was also getting food out since I was staying there 3 days/nights

Avatar

I ordered take out and had it delivered but my friend went down to get it for us. The hospital food was hardly even edible

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow
