Snacks for hospital

You would think with this being my 3rd i would know what to pack by now 🙈 however, what snacks did people pack in their hospital bag? My 1st baby was covid and we were in for a week after he was born so i dont remember much of what snacks i packed. My 2nd ended up as a home birth as she was too eager to wait for hospital and arrived in 30mins 😂 so i didnt touch my bag for anything except clothes when we got to hospital lol.
Im trying to figure out whats best considering the heat atm i dont want anything that will spoil lol.
Please help x

I have loads of the Ella delicious bars. My midwife also recommended things for a quick burst of sugar like jelly babies and a friend of mine recommend sour sweets to help distract from the contractions. I've also seen online about bone broth to sip on for the nutrition!

I packed a tonne of snacks, and in the end only had a breakfast bar and a packet of Haribos from what I packed. The rest of the snacks, my husband got from the M&S at the hospital!
I was quite nauseous after, so a packet of digestive biscuits was great to give me something to have

Pretty sure I ate a full pack of digestives between contractions with my second I was so hungry 🤣. First time I had all the drugs avaliable and couldn’t even think about food

Baby boy born 🩵

Hey ladies , I’ve had nearly 2 weeks of my boy now and I’ve realised I’ve not checked in on here at all . My boy was born 30th July at 3.44 weighing 6 pound 4 ! He was born 37+3 .

He had a tough start and came out extremely bruised , the doctors said they have never seen anything like it 🙈 but he’s all okay now and very content .

Thank you everyone for all your help and advice over the last 9 months .

I’m curious, what’s the WORST part about having a C-Section?

I’ve got 2 kids and never experienced a C-Section, so I’m generally curious and haven’t seen any posts about what the worst part is? I know lots of people will say the aftermath - leaving the hospital (not being able to move, dealing with incision pain, achy body etc) & thereafter but I’m more specifically asking about the hours before, during surgery and the hours after the C-Section and not necessarily the PP part of it. Would love to hear about it 🤍

Planned/ elective/ emergency C section recovery opinions?

Due a planned c section soon due to a severe tear in my last birth with lasting damage to my pelvic muscles.

How was your recovery? Really worried about coping with a toddler.

40+6 and still pregnant

This is my first baby, I am currently 40+6 and its really starting to get to me and just cant stay positive anymore.

I was really hoping for natural labour but I am starting to loose hope it will actually happen, and have been crying a lot for the past 2 days, as I just feel so defeated. She’s also measuring on 90th percentile and every extra day she’s there I worry that once it comes to it will be too much to handle, and my end up in emergency c-section.

I’ve got induction booked for Sunday (I’ll be 41+3) and part of me is relieved there is finally end date for this pregnancy, and part of me still wishes that the little one decides to surprise me by then, and even asking myself if I should give her even more time?

I guess this just a rant, as just needed to get it out there, and hopefully some can relate?

Silicone scar tape

What is the best silicone scar tape post C-section once the incision is fully closed. I was looking at the frida ones and they look a bit expensive and I was wondering if these are the best and I should just bite the bullet or if you guys would recommend any other really good ones that worked for you?
