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 - snacks 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 -stuff to take a shower
Seconding for the rechargeable little lamp!! The fluoro lights are awful and sometimes you just need a small soft light

Fan 1000000% 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
Fan Something that smells nice. Spray or oil. Heating pad Slippers Own towel
