If you have had a cesarean birth, you will have ice chips for 12-24 hours following your surgery and then advance to clear liquids. Once you have passed gas, you will be advanced to a regular diet. Patients who have experienced a vaginal birth will begin with clear liquids shortly after birth and then progress to a regular diet. Your labor partner is welcome to purchase a tray in the cafeteria and bring that meal and join you.
