That's what they say, that even if you end up throwing up the food, it was better to get some in you for energy. I can't imagine going through 10 hours or more at the hospital (or even less!) without nutrients!

I'm packing my juice and water that I drink, plus candies, plus some extras like pudding and probably some of my own broth. I have a bunch of candy for the nurses, and other things, plus treats for Tim and the doula if she wants some. I also bought my honey sticks cause they are apparently a great way to get through labour, quick easy sugar.
