Question about packing hospital bag and Mt Alvernia hospital

Hi everyone, currently 38w and just finished packing my hospital bag... some people have advised to pack snacks (going for natural delivery) and to bring along breast pump... Qn is... Will I even have time to snack? Also, heard that first day milk supply will not be much, how to pump? I'm wondering if I'd need to bring along the milk bottles, bottle soaps etc to keep it all clean during the hospital stay... Separately, has anyone stayed in Mt A recently? Have they changed the sofa for dads to something more comfortable and should we bring along blanket for daddy? Please advise... #help #advice #hospitalbag #baby #mummy

Mine natural at MA. I brought my pumps but didn’t get to use. I was kinda learning latching and didn’t have milk supply. I guess you are staying single room too with husband staying? You will be reserving meals for both of you then. If you want snacks, your husband can pop down to the shops. The disposable maternity fabric underwear & biore cooling body wipes were useful for me. I struggled to walk, was bleeding a lot & used the wipes instead of showering on first day PP in order not to shock my body. Not sure about the couch but I think it’s good practice for men to sleep on couch.
