Pack two nighties as I only had one with my 1st which got covered in blood :/ Exciting im packing mine today :)
It depends. Some hospitals provide pads for you. And theirs are nice and thick, Exactly what u need after having a baby. Some hospitals also provide diapers and wipes for baby so u won't need to take that either. My hospital even provides formula and disposable bottles/nipples for baby. They provide pacifiers too if you ask for them. They give u underwear and a gown but they aren't very comfortable. So take comfortable undies that u don't mind staining. U bleed a lot after baby but the pads the hospital provides are perfect. Take a warm blanket for baby cuz they only provide thin receiving blankets and hospital can be very cold. U will need clothes for baby, ur shampoo and the rest of your toiletries you would like to take, snacks, makeup, nursing bra, boppy pillow comes in handy, slippers! Floor is cold! Change for vending machines for hubby, baby mitts, and u will be too damn tired to want to read a magazine lol. Any free time u have trust me u will want to sleep.Thats if baby let's u lol. Take hubbys stuff too if he's staying with you and a pillow for him would be nice :)
