If you need to pack for baby too, this is what I packed :)
-3x singlets
-2x onesies
-1x coming home outfit
-1x pair of mittens
-2x pairs of socks
-3x beanie hats (baby could come out with gunk in his or her hair, and it will make the beanies dirty so best to pack more than 1 :))
-1x dummy/pacifier
-1x pk wet wipes
-10x diapers/nappies (def packed too many, but better to have more than not enough :))
-1x baby blanket
-2x soft face washers

I don't know about your hospital, but mine provides things like baby shampoo, soap, lotion etc, so I didn't pack any. But you can check with your hospital to know for sure :)

Must haves!!!!! -pack large comfy undies! Pads, a robe, deodorant, socks charger, a couple comfy outfits for after baby is born and to go home in. Makeup, shampoo, conditioner,  lotion, slippers, shoes,. And for baby I packed 2 outfits 1 while she's in the hospital and her going home out fit,  blanket, binki, bottle, car seat. No diapers or wipes they are provided your whole stay, I'll be getting my tubes tied so I'll be there an extra day so I'll be bringing a few more out fits for us both.
