Pomme,
I think can eat a "normal meal", but not too heavy cos if too bloated, also v uncomfy. Just don't go to hospital with empty stomach. Minimally eat a sandwich and milo. I gave same advice to my friend and she ate Mac breakfast before she go hospital.
I really don't know how soon the food will change into glucose and be absorb by bloodstream. But can't be all that long. Cos you know how you'd feel better almost immediately after you have eaten, or after you drink a cup of milo, especially when you experiencing hunger pangs.
Eventually in the hospital, the nurse will give you this thing to make you poo everything out. But the glucose would have already been in the bloodstream.
jynnsan,
You can forget about hunger! That's good! I was so pek chek by the hunger, tiredness and waiting until drop tears of frustration lor.
Jessica,
Wah! Your baby big leh! At this rate, will be at least 3.5kg at full term man!
Epidural again
Actually, what I dislike about epidural is the immobility. Just lie there like vegetable. And I was lying on my back on the "bed" from 3+pm (when I got the jab) till 9+pm in one position cos I numb until cannot move. OMG(oodness) lor! 6hrs in 1 position is like, no joke!
It also didn't help that I was hungry. And I was strapped to this CTG machine (I think) which monitors the baby heartbeat. And for 6hrs, I keep hearing the loud MRT-like heartbeat - had major headache man!
On the contrary, my colleagues/friends who had epidural can still z and watch TV in labour ward! Must be just me! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Aiyoh... hope this time not as bad as the last.
