First meal after delivery

Jersey mikes Italian sub! And yes 🤣🤣

OMG in the uk (Manchester) first food is toast!

I didn't want anything specific with my first, but with my second, I was craving Checkers/Rally's fry seasoned chicken tenders and a Mr.Pibb and honey mustard. My hospital also gave me a fruit and cookie platter after I had both my girls.

Cake for me with lots of butter cream or chocolate ganache icing! 🧁

i had crappy hospital breakfast but that wasn’t cutting it so i sent my partner out for chipotle lol

All I wanted was Parma ham 😂

I had whatever the hospital brought me. I think it was two boiled eggs and some toast

I wanted to eat everything, but my advice would be something easy on the stomach and easily digestible, cause constipation is real and it’s a real bitch after birth!

Mac and cheese and ice cream

Once I was home from hospital and having awful hospital food for a couple of days all I wanted was a massive pizza and a glass of wine!

Tea and toast after birth is elite 👌🏼

Never did this, I've had 4 deliveries and was never interested in eating after.

I had tea and toast in the hospital (compulsory and it’s a reward in the UK) then over night stay meant I had hospital food 🤮
But the first meal I had was chinese take out food 😂 although had it quite often during pregnancy 😂

First meal was broth. Liquid diet after c-section for 12 hours after. After that was some hospital food.

I begged for a sandwich which the nurses reluctantly gave me after I could prove I could keep crackers down. Then the next day my MIL brought me sushi

CAVA

Chicken soup. Loaded with good stuff and extra nourishing, good protein, good for inflammation! 😊

Hospital food the 1st one, food that our neighbors brought us for the 2nd, and Cracker Barrel after the third(picked it up on the way home). I went the birth center route for my 2nd and 3rd so I got to eat at home for those two.

A panini from Costa 😁

Sushi!

Toast & wine 🍷 unfortunately only had the toast and a cuppa

I don’t know when my appetite returned tbh. I lost all 40 lbs to lose within a month. I think I had a glass of milk hours after and that’s all I could stomach tbh.

Straight up sushi lol xx

The hospital (military hospital) provides a “new moms” meal. I had steak with shrimp, vegetables and I think it was mashed potatoes.

It’s not the same hospital food they provide sick patients. I loved it. Definitely hit the spot after

Sushi, yes! So absolutely delicious

We got back home the same day I delivered my baby. And we ordered a pizza. It was also my last meal before starting labor ahahahahha.

My mother in law sent me a 9x13 pan of salad and I polished it off. Best meal ever.

It was either birria tacos or an in-n-out burger, and red vines when I got home. The hospital gave me something with a baked potato and was horrified my blood sugar went way up despite them knowing I was supposed to be on the diabetic meal plan lol.

I had two packets of hospital sandwiches. I wanted something that I could eat one handed so that I could continue to cuddle small one (then tiny one) with my other arm. Best. Meal. Ever.

I haven’t had my baby yet so I can’t answer that BUT I did have three rounds of surgery on my face and I woke up after the first one and demanded McDonald’s. The nurse said ‘she’s never going to eat that’ …I ate every bite.

I have mc Donald 😅 whole pregnancy I eat brocoli because gestational diabetes so Mc Donald was well deserved 😊

Burger. You'll need the iron.

Turkey sandwich from the hospital but my hubby also went and got me sushi. 🤗

You can't beat that first toast and brew !!

I wanted steak tartare but our spot was closed. So we got sushi.

Sushi, a DQ blizzard, and a ice cold lime white claw... it was magical!!

McDonald's

LOL this place that does bbq/brisket after my first, my mother in law also brought me the keg. But I was in hospital for 5 days with our daughter

Thanks ladies for the suggestions!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My sister had donuts 🍩 😋 😂

Tbh I wasn't really hungry like I thought I'd be, but I was telling my nurse how I missed having basic things like a good sandwich so right away she went and got me a good sandwich and a mocktail.

There's nothing like that first toast and cuppa after you've had a baby ...nicest toast you'll ever have 😅 xx

hmm, I totally craved a big ol' cheeseburger and fries after my first, it just hit the spot, but honestly, anything you love will taste amazing after all that! Just looked it up on the 'Heal App' and here's what it says:

"After giving birth, many women crave comfort foods that are satisfying and nourishing. Some popular choices include a hearty breakfast like pancakes or eggs, a favorite sandwich, or even something sweet like a slice of cake or ice cream. It's also common to want something refreshing, like a smoothie or fresh fruit.

Ultimately, it depends on your personal cravings and what you find comforting. What are some of your favorite foods or meals that you’ve been missing?
