Slippers for shower and comfy socks and slippers
Instant coffee individually wrapped

Laundry bag for dirty clothes
Money for vending machine

For the delivery room
-Straw for your water (or water bottle with straw)
-Ear buds if you want to listen to music / watch shows
-chap stick
-hair elastic

For after delivery
-eye mask to block out the light
-ear plugs to block out the noise
-maxi pads (heavy flow)
-Frida disposable underwear
-Tucks cooling pads

Seconding for the rechargeable little lamp!! The fluoro lights are awful and sometimes you just need a small soft light

long charger
cup with straw
cute pajamas or robe
bed slippers
humidifier with an essential oil depending on the size of the room
glasses if needed
i packed my own after birth food
bone broth
stewed fruits
lactation cookies
definitely ear buds

I had a little battery/USB one. Absolutely saved me 😂
The epidural I had made me so hot.

Snacks, own tea/coffee and a shelf milk as the hot drinks aren’t the nicest & your own mug too!

I used adult incontinent products instead of period pads, it helped a lot and I found them much more comfortable 😊

Honestly I wish I had packed less stuff 😅 I had a whole suitcase of stuff and only used a few things in the end!
I stayed in the hospital gown until I left since it was easier for them to do their checks and stuff.
I only stayed one night so just waited to shower at home.
My hospital provided all the after birth stuff I needed so didn’t use my own.
I really only needed a going home outfit, phone charger, and hair tie/brush lol
Plus a few things for baby.

Here a list of what il be bringing to the hospital during my next birth. Some I brought with me and some I wish I had.

Night gown with buttons (easy to go to the bathroom, breastfeeding, and checkups)
Slippers
Warm socks
Blanket/Fan (depending on season and if you get cold or hot easily)
Towel/Toiletries/Shower shoes
Snacks/Drinks
Longer charger(the plug isn't usually too close to the bed)
Earphones
Word search/sudoku book or some hobby (to rest your eyes from constant screen viewing)

I forgot a shirt when I gave birth. So, I walked out of the hospital in my nursing gown, and a pair of jeans. I would Ask for more of the spray they provide. I regret not asking for more

Snacks! I literally didn't use anything else from my bag lol

Oh yeah and a little hand held fan too
