With this being my third, the first thing I packed was Chapstick and tucks pads lol. My favorite cereal bars. My own pillow. (The hospital pillows are lined with crinkly waterproof plastic. Not comfy.) Bed room slippers and a robe. My own shampoo/soap for the first shower which is wonderful after laying in sweat and afterbirth for hours! A boppy pillow to hold baby bc you will be weak. I've read that female depends are wonderful instead of packing panties bc you can just throw them away. That will be new to my bag this time. Gum or hard candy. The epidural made my mouth so dry and yuck.
