    nothing here either, and I had both very quick and very long labours. My Dh nearly lost his head because he got worried about my lack of fluid intake and suggested I drink something one too many times! Definitely food/snacks/drinks for your other half though, but nothing crunchy. My DH had chips (as in crisps, not hot ones) when I was in active labour with Miss A and oh my the noise was doing my head in so he got yelled at for that too. Poor love.

    I also didn't eat during labour, all I wanted was water with ice in it. I did pack snacks for dh like muesli bars and energy drinks, my labours were quick and in the early hours of the morning.

    Nothing but ice and water for me too. That is all I could handle.
