I'm on baby #3 packing next week when I'm 36 weeks. I say comfy clothes for you the hospital provides shower stuff but I prefer mine. Toothbrush deoderant stuff like that. I like to pack snacks for my husband during delivery and me after. Phone charger a change of clothes for dad. For the baby a take home outfit, blanket, and carseat the hospital provides everything else including diapers and pads.

Your gonna need....
Tooth brush,paste,travel size shamp & cond,bar soap/bodywash,razor,blow dryer & flat iron (if u use that) to do your hair for hosp pics,makeup,deoderant,a nice shirt or cute sweater for hosp pics, pjs,undies,bra,socks,slippers,robe,going home clothes. Pack pjs pants/change of clothes for your spouse, snacks for him, phone&charger,camera (if u use one), baby book for babies foot prints (if you plan on keeping one for baby) and of course pack your babies diaper bag with a nice swaddle blanket and warm fuzzy blanket, outfits for hosp pics and going home.
