Have you read Jacqui Brown's "I'm Not Fat, I'm Pregnant"? It's a fairly entertaining mix of anecdote and tidbits of information.
(Also, nutrition-wise, I hope you're looking forward to the best meal you'll ever have in your life. Not the 'I'm not pregnant any more bring me sushi/ham/soft cheese' or whatever. It's the toast and milo your LMC brings you after you've had baby. ABSOLUTE AMBROSIA.)
(ALSO also, because I am hopeless about wanting to give advice: if you have a bunch of snacks for labour and don't end up eating them (because labour is too fast, you don't want to etc) they're unlikely to go to waste, because either the person supporting you will want them, or you'll discover having a stash of muesli bars and mini cookie times and nuts is actually really useful when it's 2am, you've been up with baby for hours because it's cluster feeding time, and between staying awake and needing to feed another human you are STARVING and hey! snacks!)
(Please tell me that your antenatal classes have warned you that a night or two after baby is born they'll want to cluster feed and you will get NO SLEEP.)
