Answer

I advice you to leave space to take EVERYTHING the hospital allows you too lol. I don't normally swipe things like at a hotel but at the hospital you're paying for it all anyway so take it! And if they have the ice pack pads take those and make them give you more haha they are life savers 👌

Answer

I would add to these lists some snacks you want during labor and a good water bottle. I will probably bring my peanut butter dark chocolate protein bars, bananas, and saltine crackers... 👌🏻

Answer

I over packed for my first pregnancy this time it's minimal.

Me: comfy outfit
Slippers
2-3 nursing bras
Hygiene products 
Nursing or boppy pillow

Baby: going home outfit & blanket

The hospital here provided EVERYTHING needed for the baby...onsies, binky, diapers, wipes, burping cloth.

Answer

I'd bring a book or a tablet/laptop. I had a placental abruption at 33 weeks And had nothing packed but luckily I had a book in the car my husband followed the ambulance in. I could only do so much web surfing and game playing til I was bored and at midnight there was nothing good on tv lol. It may be a long process so bring things to keep you occupied.

Answer

My hospital pretty much provided all the new necessities that I over packed and had to take a whole extra bag home when I had my first. 
I plan to pack more minimal this time. 
I am taking my own baby swaddles and warm blanket, slippers, nursing bra & tank, chargers, a small toiletry bag, my make up, an outfit for both baby and I to go home in, laboring goods like quarters and small bills for snacks/food for my boyfriend, a folder with my birth plan and preregistration paperwork, Chapstick, hair ties & laptop just In case. Everything is in one bag with room to breathe for things I'll take home as well as a reusable tote to take home any gifts or informational items.
