Nurse Barb and there are some other really good topics on this website, like the swine flu, breastfeeding, etc.

I like the ideas. I am not really bringing much, as with my daughter I WAY overpacked and then just had to do a bunch of unnecessary laundry when I got home, because I wanted to wash everything I didn't wear since it went with me to the hospital! I am bringing my flip video cam. to shoot a few scenes BEFORE and AFTER labor, a camera, 2 pairs of undies (last time I wore those mesh ones they give you at the hospital since you have to wear all these huge pads!), clearasil daily face wash, a razor, my prenatal vitamins, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, a toothbrush, and some makeup (for those pics that get taken!), a hair brush, hair gels, a nursing bra, breast shields (for soreness), and nipple cream (for soreness), a going home outfit (probably just maternity clothes, since my tummy will still be quite stretched!), and a robe. For the babies (I'm having twins), one tiny outfit for each, 2 car seats, and that's it! I am going to bring some really junky slippers as I ruined my nice ones when my daughter was delivered (stepping on yucky hospital floors, and some blood got on them!)
