# What to Eat During Labor: Tips from a Nurse

Lauren McCorkle Furlong, L&D RNC-OB on Instagram: "What to eat during labor can make a huge difference in how you feel. Think light, easy-to-digest, and energy-giving—not a 3 course meal. Every hospital/provider may have different policies, but here’s what I’d pack if it were me. Save this for your due date + send to your labor partner so they know what snacks to grab. #laboranddeliverynurse #laboranddelivery #birth #pregnancytiktok #pregnancy" — 8,556 likes, 49 comments - lauren_thelabornurse on April 29, 2026: "What to eat during labor can make a huge difference in how you feel.
