It depends on which hospital you're going to... I had my last bub at SJOG Murdoch & will be in there again this Friday for my C/S!

I'll be taking cash for vending machines... because sometimes it's the middle of the night and you just need that sugar boost when you've not eaten since 5.30pm dinner and won't be served anything again til 7am!

Also if you're going private, some places have refridgerators in your room (SJOG does) and you can take along some of your favourite drinks & snacks to keep you going... sounds like I'm all about food doesn't it!

Some private hosp's also have dvd players (my one in Geraldton did), when I ended up having an emergency caesar there, hubby went & hired dvd's for me to watch during the long quiet days recovering.
