Answer

Baby gets pretty much everything they need for their stay in the hospital, onesies, blankets, diapers etc. they will give mom special underwear and pads too, take all of the open stuff home! They can’t reuse it if it’s been open. The pads at the hospital are very good, brand is curity and you can buy them on amazon to have at home after if you need extra.

Answer

3+ outfits or sleepers for baby 
Snacks & Drinks!
Slippers or warm socks
Swaddle Blankets
Phone Charger 
Toiletries 
I didn’t shower at the hospital but if you’re going to then bring your own towel!

Answer

Toothbrush, hair ties, hair brush. No slip socks, pajama's, maternity bra. Phone charger, chapstick, your own blanket/pillow. Going home outfit for baby, car seat. Really that's all I used for both my first vaginal delivery and my Csection with my second. They'll give you so much stuff also so bring an empty bag!

Answer

I didn’t use a lot of stuff in my hospital bag the first time around. I would recommend a luxurious robe.... something that makes you feel pretty and cozy. The first thing I wanted to do after my daughter came was to get out of my hospital gown. And so glad I did with the amount of photos that were taken in those first days.

Answer

Chapstick chapstick chapstick. 
Forget it with my son and I plan to not forget this time around.  My lips were so dry, chapped and cracked after labour it was terrible. 
Do not forget the chapstick  ladies.

Answer

Snacks! Breastfeeding I needed more calories then the meals at the hospital. Mybreastfriend pillow.... so helpful to get breastfeeding on the right start. Slide on shoes with nothing in between the toe. I actually had to use my husbands because my feet were so swollen. Car seat, going home outfits, I brought my own pillow to make my stay more comfortable.

Answer

Shampoo, conditioner and soap are a big thing. I forgot it in my bag the first time and deeply regretted it.
