Lots of pads, pants, hair brush, make up if you can be bothered, (I took mine but it didnt even come out of the bag in the end lol) phone charger, nighty for labour then 2 nightys for your stay, slippers, dressing gown (thin, as it can get hot in those hopitals) baby clothes, lots of nappies, I loved all this with my first and cant wait to do it all again with this one xx

Chapstick, chapstick, chapstick! Your own body pillow, mine was my saving grace. Also, I only ended up using one pair of the underwear I packed. I wore the mesh underwear the hospital provided my whole stay pretty much. Also a comfy set of PJs for after delivery. I lived in my bed after labor and I was all about being comfy!

Toiletries, anything to keep you occupied like a book or fav music, robe and slippers are good to have, nursing bra/ nipple pads incase you start leaking and an outfit for baby also a list of any must have medications that you need to take.

It's very helpful having a night gown that you just pull over your head. With my first son, the labor was so hard on me to where I couldn't hardly move my lower body afterwards so the night gown helped. It's also nice to snuggle with your own pillow and blanket :) don't forget your tooth brush and tooth paste! Good luck to you
