Im taking socks (for me and baby) the baby socks will actually go on her ha ds since the mittens tend to fall off easily
Toothbrush and toothpaste
My pillow (hospital pillows suck)
Some snacks
Slippers 
Two nightgowns for easy breastfeeding 
And your list. 
Hubs will be staying at home at night with our two children so if i need anything else ill have him bring them up to the hospital

Answer

Pillow and snacks. Ended up having an emergency C section and was there for a few days. I wish I would have packed snacks because hospital food/snacks suck.

Answer

If you plan on wearing contact lenses bring comfort drops and your glasses (hospital air is notoriously dry). 
I'll also bring my own towel this time, hospital towels are the size of a tiny stamp.

Answer

Depends silhouette

Answer

Big underwear like granny panties
hair ties
your own pillow
comfy pjs, 
face wipes
your own shampoo and other hygiene products, 
overnight pads (if your hospital doesn’t provide past the big diaper pad stage)
clothes for baby of course (all the basics) 
wipes
diapers (if hospital doesn’t provide)

Answer

I would add a nursing bra or tank if you plan to nurse, books/magazines, pads if you don’t want to use the ones the hospital gives you. This time I might take my pillow from home, my bathrobe and slippers. Also a pair of super comfy pj’s. I didn’t bring chapstick or money. The hospital food was fine for me. Second the nursing pillow. You don’t need much. I pretty much stayed in the same thing and they give you a blankets and onesies for baby (at my hospital anyway).
