What's good to put in your hospital bag???

When you get ready to go to the hospital what is all good to have packed with you and ready? I so far have 2 baby outfits and myself a nightgown plus breast pads because I'll be breast feeding.  I'm a first time mommy.

I would pack the above plus pads because u will be bleeding . A change of underwear. They give u diapers there. Of course the carseat and a baby blanket. Youll just need one baby outfit cuz the baby cant wear it till u leave. U need an outfit to leave in. Maybe some slippers to be comfy. Oh and change for the vending machines. Goodluck
