[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ooh what a great idea about the drink packets!

[quote=Anonymous]I have had 4 c-sections and the best thing I packed for #4 was the individual drink mix packets.  You can not eat real food until you pass gas and a certain amount of urine.  Drinking plain hospital water gets boring.  As soon as I got to my room I pulled out the packs and started drinking. The nurses just laughed because they knew I had been through this before and said they would make sure dinner was ordered for me :)

You need all of the normal things everyone else packs as well.  A key item for me was a charge for my smart phone with a really long cord.  You can get one with a 5 foot cord.  This made it possible for me to email friends and make phone calls easier.

Find out if your hospital has restaurants that will deliver to it. If so print out the menus and take those.  On day 2 I had a few friends come visit me and we ordered from the Cheesecake factory.  It was absolutely wonderful and boosted my spirits.

Trail mix- nuts for protien, dried fruit to help the bowls move and some sort of chocolate to make me happy at 2am.

The baby book- I filled out as much as I could while in the hospital[/quote][/quote]

Both times I've delivered (different hospitals) they had different types of juices available anytime I asked (I hate water).  Plus plenty of other stuff if my DH wanted to run down to the cafeteria. [/quote]
