Post-birth tea and toast

[stressheaderic]

Just a thread to appreciate the finest meal you'll ever eat...

Half an hour after giving birth, feeling all euphoric and legs finally stopped shaking, just us and our new daughter...midwife brought in a plate of triangularly-cut hot thick buttery toast each for me and DP and a hot sugary cuppa.
It was the best thing EVER. I hadn't eaten since the start of established labour 8 hours earlier and I wolfed it down.

Think they did it for everyone, in fact, may even have been hospital policy?!
Anyone else get given similar?

I had homebirths the last 2 times and can't remember if they brought me tea and toast with DS,

but with DD I was admitted to hospital at 33 weeks with dehydration, I was so ill and couldn't keep anything down, I felt so rough.

They put me on a drip and after about 8 hours I was starving, I had toast and tea ands a little blackberry jam pot, it was THE most lovely thing ever!

post birth toast is the best tasting toast in the world...I even got jam the last time too.

Never got offered it. My hospital had snack bags with sandwiches, crisps, yoghurt, drink and fruit. Was very yummy and you could just request one at any time during your stay! They gave one to my mum too!

god ye... highlight of the birth

although after ds1 it was the middle of the night and the kitchens were closed so the toast was cold

I got in trouble with DS1 over making toast.

Nobody told me the little plastic baby beds were moveable so I carried him to the kitchen to make toast and tea and got souted at

I am so of this famous tea and toast. I had 3 babies in different parts of the UK, and 1 in France, and I dont remember ever getting offered anything.
