    Rae, when I went in with my SIL recently, we took in some powdered gatorade and made it up in one of their jugs. She sipped on this during her labour, which was pretty long. Found this helped great.

    Also another great and energetic snack is banana's. Light and easy to eat, and soft if you do end up spewing it back up

    The midwife gave me a lemonade icypole which I had in the shower. I wasn't even thinking of food once I got to hospital but anything I ate while at home I spewed back up.

    lol...delightful!!

    I took choc chip cookies and poppers and I think jellybeans?? Didn't matter cos it was too quick and didn't have time for anything!! I did want a drink after Oskar was born and then DH said...oh I left them in the car...PMSL...so it was a good thing that labour was too fast and I didn't need them!!
