Re: what's in your bag for the hospital??
Aside from what you have, I'm bring a few jumbo size pads in case I don't like the ones they give at the hospital, extra underwear, socks with grippy bottoms, hair elastics and brush, a few breast pads and lanolin cream, baby book (so that they can put the little footprints in it), and some basic toiletries to help me feel normal again when they let me shower (good shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel).
Oh, and maybe 2 or 3 diapers, 2 receiving blankets (in case we need them in the car/going out to the car), and a travel pack of wipes.
in addition to your list
cell phone charger
hair brush
shower stuff
robe
a few extra outfits for baby (with DD we got her dressed in her own clothes every day)
makeup (i was really glad i had it when i look back at pictures!)
I'll wear the hospital gown when I'm in labor, you won't want to clean up your clothes from giving birth!
I also have coloring books and toys for my oldest in case she gets bored while she's visiting
I'm having a c-section so mine may be a little different.

Pretty sure that's about it. Not much to pack.
I wore the hospital's gown while in labor. You dont want to wear your own stuff, it will likely get disgusting/ruined.
Im just C&P'ing my word doc, so sorry if its formatted wrong. I way over-packed last time (especially clothes), so this is a cut-down list. lmao.
