I agree with the extra food thing, I bought a packet of my fav biscuits and I also had Shane bring up my fav mug cos those hospital cups are so small and hardley seem worth making a cup of tea at all.. I also bought a wheat pack cos my hospital didn't have them and a pack of life savers to suck on during labour. I'd suggest ear plugs aswell if your going public or may have to share a room, it seemed everytime my baby was sleeping the baby in the next bed was awake or had visitors which meant no sleep for me....
