Ok so its been six years for me since I last had a baby. Last time I was so unprepared as far as stuff I should've packed for myself.

It's been almost 2.5yrs for me and I feel so brain dead about what I should or shouldn't bring. Def. a bobby, my own toilet paper, and shower shoes this time. My own soap, shampoo/ conditioner. I'm going back and forth about a thick or thin robe. I remember being so incredibly hot last time after labor, but I was that way for most of the pregnancy. This time not so much. I thought their pillow was pretty comfy, and seem to remember them giving you small samples of just about everything you need. I think the only thing he had to run out and get a script for ibuprofen. I guess to it depends on what your hospital covers. I've been repacking the bags just to see what I have or something else I might need.

If you're breatfeeding bring your bobby pillow and nipple cream. I'm also packing chargers for my phone, iPad anf camera.  I pack lotion bc my skin gets dry so easily. As far as hair products that's up to your preference.

Six years here too!!!! I was working on mine today. I packed some loose flannel pj's with the bottom up top for nursing. Nursing bras. Socks with grippy bottoms. Loose clothes for coming home. An old robe. I'll pack toiletries yet. An extra pillow most likely. Then the day of I'll put our camera, cell charger in.
