Hospital bag! What to pack????

I'm 31 wks today and time is starting to fly by!!!!! I'm not really sure what to pack besides maybe 2 cute outfits for the baby! What are you ladies packing?? What should I NOT pack?? What did you pack that you just knew you would need but really didn't?? I also plan to breast feed so any suggestions on pumps or bottles and creams will definitely be helpful too!!! Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks guys!!! I knew the hospital supplies the basic stuff but things like pads I wasn't to sure about! Then I'm not really sure how many days I'll have to stay after birth considering we don't have any problems!! Plus I didn't wanna go crazy and pack a ton of stuff I really won't need like flat irons and make-up lmbo

I essentially packed like I'm staying at a hotel for a couple nights, except I'm only bringing clothes to leave the hospital in. General hygiene stuff (like body wash etc, even though my hospital does provide it), contacts, glasses, tablet, kindle, chargers, change of clothes for my husband, a couple baby outfits (both newborn and 0-3 months because my husband was 9 lbs 3 oz and 24 inches long at birth!). I did pack some pads and underwear, but my sister said she suggests using the hospitals diaper like ones because you bleed so heavily at first, lotion, chapstick. I also am bringing my robe as a comfort thing.

Id pack comfy clothes for after,  I had a maternity pajama set that was a nursing tank , pants, and robe i loved it! I also had socks, personal care toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Camera, battery chargers, snacks, I brought my own pillow and snuggly blanket from home. As far as the baby goes they provide diapers and wipes so save yours. maybe some blankets if it will be cold , socks, outfits  nursing pads and I used the lansoniah nipple cream they should give you a sample of it too! good luck its never to early to pack.
