Answer

In the U.S. (in hospitals) I believe you typically stay 2 days after a vaginal delivery and 3 days after a c-section. They are not necessarily full days, though. I delivered vaginally on a Sunday evening and was discharged Tuesday morning. So it was really only one full day. I brought way too much, esp. clothes for me and the baby. One outfit for each of us and a nightgown for myself was all I really used. Might have been different if I had been there another full day, though. Other than that: toiletries, nursing bra, robe, flipflops, chapstick. Two big things I was glad I brought even though they took up a lot of room were my breast pump and nursing pillow. I had not taken a breastfeeding class (even though in hindsight I wished I had) and needed the lactation consultants to teach me everything in the hospital. So even though I didn't need the breast pump there, it was great to learn how it worked. Another thing I was glad I took were some hard candies that I could eat during delivery - all I got all day was ice chips, so they gave me  a better taste in my mouth, esp. after throwing up, which is unfortunately quite common during labor.

Answer

Australian hospitals don't supply gowns, so I just bought a $5 nighty that I threw out at the hospital before I went home. Going home outfit (trackie and a tshirt) a few pairs of underwear but I wore the disposable hospital ones the whole time. Hair ties, clips, bands. Socks/ slippers 2 or 3 outfits for Bub. My man went straight into 000 or 0-3 month clothes. And then just toiletries and some snacks.
