hospital bags question?!

Helloo. So I am a ftm and would looove some advice from experienced or any kind of mother out there on what to out in the hospital bags for me and the baby. I started a list but I want to make sure I have everything (or hopefully almost everything) I need for the big day. Im hoping for a natural child birth so I wont need to stay at the hospital longer than needed, but I do know anything can happen. Well anyways, thank you! (:

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 :)
