what to eat on the last day of pregnancy?
My wife is at 36 weeks pregnant. She is almost in her due date. She want to know what can she eat that will give her power on the day of her pregnancy. So it will be easier for her to give birth. Her due date is on 11.15.10 pheww its almost time. Also what kinds of things do you pack during your pregnancy. for example do you pack anything like ipod, clothing, hair brush, etc. Anything that a woman will need in the hospital.
Anything you need, the hospital will pretty much provide. Maybe pack some music, comfy jammies for after delivery, tooth brush/tooth paste, magazines to keep her occupied during labor, maybe, however, she may just want to sleep as much as possible.
As far as what to eat, whatever she wants, whatever sounds good. No matter what she eats, labor is going to be exhausting, take her out for whatever she wants and is in the mood for.
Friendship Prayer
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the person who screws up your day and may their arms be too short to scratch.
Amen
Whoever said anything was possible obviously never tried slamming a revolving door.
My midwife said that eating raw pineapple would thin your membranes and help start labor. The doctors will tell you not to eat anything right before labor, but I don't really agree with that. She definitely will need to drink lots of water, because she will loose plenty of fluids during labor. And eating high in iron foods would be beneficial since she may have blood loss when she delivers. Pack clothes, of course, and hygeine products. For me, I was told to bring depends with me, and it was a great idea! The hospital gives you these awful pad things to put in your undies for the after bleeding, and the depends were much better and more comfortable. She'll probably be weak and tired afterwards, so she won't need to bring much to stay busy or to read. But the baby will need his/her things to go home in and all. Don't forget the carseat, or the camera for sure!
She hardly drinks water. Maybe 1 or 2 cups a day. Sigh what should I do. I hope I can turn out to be a good husband and a father for my family.
You all ready are! Just the fact that you are thinking about her, not yourself, and trying to do the best you can speaks volumes about you.When it comes to kids, you never do anything perfect, but you all survive it anyway. This is your first baby I'm assuming, by 2 or 3 you lighten up a lot.
I'll tell you my horror story which will make you feel better. I brought my first son home from the hospital, trying to do everything just right. Well, he was bottle fed, and they sent me home with these cans of condensed formula. When I ran out, I went to the store, found the same kind of cans, but bigger, took them home and mixed them half and half with water just like the other cans said to do. After 2-1/2 days I finally realized the cans I had bought were ready to feed, meaning I was diluting his formula without needing to. I freaked!!! And cryed for hours thinking I had just starved my newborn for days. But he was just fine, and in the big picture, didn't really affect him at all. Ya'll will be just fine, just relax.
