Snacks for hospital bag
Last time I gave birth, the food in hospital was dire: tiny portions, little fibre and little protein (at least for me, as a vegetarian). On the up side, as part of the National Health Service, it was free. I supplemented it with chocolate and dried apricots then, but I will be a little more ambitious this time round.…
