Answer

Screw that list. All u need is ur hygiene products including flip flops for the shower. Cami's so u can have skin to skin with baby. Lounge clothes/sleepwear and socks for urself. Going home onesie for baby. Baby will be in hospital onesie the whole time u are there. And whtever u need for ur entertainment (music, books etc) but honestly besides the tv and time with ur baby and sleeping u wont really be in need of much entertainment. Also bring ur own pillow if you would like and def something to snack on. If your only going to be in the hospital for 2-3 days that is all you need.

I'm a first time mom, as well.. I'm packing what I feel I need. If I overpack, oh well. Rather overpack and have everything I need rather than get there and be stressed because I forgot something. I got everything into one bag for both myself and my husband and then we have a diaper bag we are taking. What does it matter if you take one bigger bag or one smaller bag? It's going to sit in the room and do nothing. That's my opinion anyways! I hate being away from home without my stuff.. and I'm not going to have my husband leaving if I forget something! Pack what you believe you need and don't worry if you overpack. Think of vacations, I mean most women almost always overpack. Why should a 2-3 night stay at the hospital be different? 😊😊

Answer

Depends diapers - mesh panties and foot long pads are super uncomfortable. 
An extra bag - to take home ALL of the stuff they bring in your room for you and the baby. If you don't take it they have to just throw it away. 
Formula - take home all of the formula they give you. I 100000% intended to exclusively breastfeed and I literally couldn't produce enough and continually had to supplement with formula. Take it just in case. 
A going home outfit for you - loose fitting because you will be really uncomfortable moving for about 2-3 days after labor. 
You'll be your hospital gown 99.99% of the time until you go home. This is for your safety. 
Socks/flip flops - my advice is to bring one pair of slide on shoes. Hospital will provide socks with grips at the bottom.
Toiletries - if you're like me and wear contacts bring solution and your glasses. Toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, makeup remover wipes, body wash, shampoo/conditioner, qtips, hair brush and hair tie. Also mouth wash. 
Phone charger
Chapstick
Boppy
Baby clothes - bring 2/3 outfits. Measurements on ultrasounds can vary and you'll want to make sure atleast one outfit fits her because she'll be in a white shirt until she gets a bath. 
(Plastic bag for dirty clothes.)
Lastly, your insurance card and drivers license!

Answer

I packed a few onesies for my son, two out fits for me, hair/tooth brush&paste.; phone charger,shampoo/conditioner. And that's it. Everything else such as pads/underwear they gave me. And like diapers/wipes, blankets the hospital provides that. That's really all you need honestly.
