The only food brought to me was lunch and dinner which were cooked. You had to go get your own breakfast, unless you were bed bound of course. Some women couldn't walk around after operations.

Yes there were two large maternity wards in that hospital I suppose about a dozen patients in each one.

Yes I had an eclamptic fit after my first birth. The worst thing was I was put on observation back in the delivery ward overnight, which meant I got no food at all. The midwife couldn't get through to my husband who was exhausted after being up all night, so I gave her the number of my mum in law, and she got through to him. I was desperate to see him, and soon as he arrived he went to a machine and got a load of snacks for me! He was a lifesaver! The delivery ward was not set up to feed patients as that is for the maternity ward.
