hi guys,

to all of you who gave birth before, my question:

for how long did you stay in hospital?

normally you stay in there for two days, isn't it?

thinking 'bout what to take with me for entertainment!

thx, Angie

After having Noah I stayed in 1 night, I think had I had a "normal" delivery I may have been allowed home but I lost quite a lot of blood and couldn't get out of bed until 6pm that night!

I took all sorts to keep us entertained (mini dvd player, mp3 player, magazines & a book) as I was induced so thought I sould be prepared as I didn't know how long we would be there for! The only thing I done was read a mag and that was while I was waiting to be induced! Come labour & contractions time everything done my head in, we tried to watch a dvd but had to turn it off 5 mins in!

You'll prob take the stuff and not use it, but as I said its best to have it and not use it than to not have it and want it!

dont see the point in lugging loads of stuff about only to have to take it home again though, can understand you taking so much lil baby boo as you were induced, but surely a magazine or crossword book or something would suffice

sleeping, that's what I thought I will do

in case I have to stay in for longer I will ask OH to bring me in stuff for entertainment later

my bag is already so huge, it is bigger than my suitcase I had with me when I was in India for ONE MONTH

can't be bothered 'bout putting in some entertainment there now!

thx

honestly hun, only time your "stuck" for something to do is usually between visiting times, and nothing a story or 2 from a mag wont fix

Hoping I'm out quickly too & will use the pestering method! Well as long as all is 100% ok

I was in 3 days, I had a c-section. Was meant to be 5 days but I had to get home!
I got DH to bring things in each time he came to visit. I had loads to fetch home!
