Snacks for post- birth. What were you desperate for?

[soppypreggyloon]

Elcs is Friday. I cant eat from midnight thurs and no drinks from 6am. I don't know when on fri my elcs will be so may have a long wait without food.

What goodies shall I pack for when I'm allowed to eat?
The scabby plastic cold white toast was no where near enough after ds!

I ate a huge plateful of cold raw vegetables an hour after giving birth

Anything you can pack easily. I took mini cheddars, alpen & hobnob flapjack bars plus apples & grapes & cartons of fruitjuice. Was very glad of this stash when ended up stuck in hospital for 5 days. I didn't feel like enjoying food for weeks after the birth, I didn't bother with my dream smoked salmon, moules marinere & pink champagne longed for whilst pg dream meal!

Lots of fruit - that first movement needs a little help!

One enormous chicken sandwich, washed down with two glasses of champagne. I then promptly passed out.

My sisters thought I was mad taking food to the hospital with me (I had loads), but I was so damn grateful for it. All the midwives could rustle up was one very soggy egg sandwich - which is my worst nightmare. Admittedly it was 9pm by the time I got back to the ward, so I wasn't expecting much.

I was so hungry, any food was a good thing. The tea and toast in my MLU tasted wonderful - after those I polished off one of the cereal bars and a few jelly babies I'd bought to see me through labour (which I didn't need!).

I got my DP to bring me a Burger King. The staff probably looked down on us, but we didn't care.

P.S. I'm not normally into Burger King or that kind of food, but it was so good.

I got my mum to bring me KFC

Cold cartons of orange juice. The nurses kept telling me to drink and asking how much I'd drank because of fluid loss. So a bottle of Ribena made the water better when it went luke warm.
