Thank you ladies! This is my second baby but I honestly can’t remember what I brought the first time so this is super helpful.

For toiletries i found a his and hers travel size prepacked  set. It was like 8 dollars and comes with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, tooth brush, toothpaste, lotion, and i added some hair ties, chapstick, and headband. I thought it was really cool and at a great price!

Some hospitals will provide pads and diapers and all that but Labour and Delivery gave me a list of things to bring and those were on it. Also the last time I was there the nurse I had wouldn't give me anymore pads and said I wouldn't need them. I bled for 6 solid weeks. 
Husband:
- toothbrush and toothpaste
- deodorant
- extra underwear
- extra socks
- extra shirts
- phone charger
My husband didn't pack a bag last time and we ended up being in hospital from Sunday until Wednesday. I have some things packed for him but he's going to have to be responsible and pack some things himself.

Answer

Me: Robe, slippers, button up PJs, big "period undies", daily toiletries, phone charger, lip balm, vitamin water, boob pads, nursing bra, spare hair ties, clean outfit for going home, registration papers, labour playlist set up on my phone.
DH: Clean shirt and undies, hoodie, phone charger, snacks, toiletries for overnight.
Baby: NB and 0-3m sleeper, long sleeved onesie and pants x 2 , in case of blowouts, socks, hat, muslin wrap, heavier blanket for car ride home, going home outfit, wubbanub pacifier.

Answer

A robe, hairties, slippers, a comfortable outfit to go home, phone and charger, hairbrush, whatever you use daily for personal hygiene and I think thats it, for baby well a couple outfits, a swaddling blanket, burping clothes. And for husband a pillow, pajamas and a blanket... the hospital is 5 min from here so If I need anything else he can come get it.
