What's best to pack in hopsital bag?

Question

I am at risk of delivering early and don't know when so kind of want to plan and prepare.
What essentials did you have and what did you wish you did have?

Answer

This is my list 🙈

Answer

Only long bc I explain things.  I've only had c-sections, and am in the U.S., that might make a difference, depending on where you are.  These are my essentials though. :-)
My packing list(roughly):
 (I don't wear the hospital gown longer than I have to)
- Nursing tanks
- Yoga pants
- one size up black stretchy boy short panties (for going home, just wear mesh in the hospital)
- Short cotton robe (for covering up if visitors come, walking around the unit or if I'm chilly)
- Socks(1-2 pr, also usually the hospital gave me some slipper socks.  I always hated them so I'm gonna bring my own this time)
- Flip flops (for shower and walking around if I'm not wearing slipper socks)
- simple toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face) 
- simple makeup (concealer, mascara)
- coming home outfit for baby (nb and 0-3m just in case)
- carseat (obviously)
- pacis (I prefer MAM brand, both kids have liked them and I don't like the kind the hospital has)
- swaddle blanket for baby (just my personal preference)
- phone charger
- outfit for you for going home (I usually plan to be able to wear what I went in since you usually aren't in it long before changing into gown for surgery)

Answer

In my hospital bag I packed 
1) Going home outfit for baby

3) wipes
4) bibs
5) blanket
6) bottles
7) formula 
8) hat
9) mittens 
10) car seat 
I didn’t pack socks for him because his outfit has little feet covers on them. And if you think your baby’s head is going to be to big to fit one of the new born hats from the stores don’t get them. That’s what happened with my daughter lol. 
11) berp rags 
I think that’s it I’m not looking in my hospital bag right now to make sure that’s it but I’m sure that’s it. And I’m at risk for going into preterm labor to the doctor says if I make it to 36 weeks he will most likely come home because I got the stariod shots when I went into preterm labor at 29 weeks and at 34+6 weeks. I’m 80% effaced and 4-5 centimeters dilated.
