<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> =BB I am 4 months pregnant! I have been managing quite well (no morning =BB sickness) and staying pretty strict on my diet. Fortunately, I am not =BB ultra sensitive (vinegar, etc.), because I've been obsessed with =BB pickles. Any advice for the next 5 months, for dealing with the =BB hospital, and the baby? I highly recommend you pack more food than personal items, have a family member bring your meals from home, and/or be discharged as soon as you are permitted. Both of my children were delivered on a Saturday. Although my gluten-free status was brought to the attention of my doctor, the hospital birthing center, written into my chart, etc., all was worthless as there were no dieticians on duty either week-end. The "convenience" meals were prepared by a nurse's aide in a tiny kitchen located on the floor. Need I say more about their content. Attempting to reach someone in the hospital cafeteria/kitchen after my first birthing experience was such a nightmare! When I was expecting my second, I had NO expectation that there would be ANYTHING for me to eat. Therefore, my suitcase was my kitchen. I was fortunate to have a small refrigerator in the room. Forget the clothes, booties, and birthing paraphenalia...just bring FOOD! After you have birthed that sweet child you will be STARVING! And you can't afford to go without or with hospital food that will poison you!
