Mostly stiff for you. Like extra set of clothes to go home in. Pj slippers, undies n bra or disposable undies (if u like) toothbrush brush/paste shampoo towel (essentials). Charger a magazine to read if u get bored. Camera. Very little for baby as the hospital provides most. But I'm packing 2 outfits 2 blankets a thin one n a thicker one. Baby hat. I'm taking my bag n a smaller bag for baby.

Don't over pack or you will forget half of what you bring. One outfit in newborn and 0-3 months just incase, a special blanket, Vaseline to put on the babies butt (it helps get that first poop off easier if you put it on before hand), 2 diapers and wipes dr the way home, if you want a pacifier and socks for the baby. For yourself and husband: pajamas, sweats and comfy shirt, pillow, travel size body wash and shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste, hair brush,  socks, a nursing bra if breastfeeding, houseshoes, a light jacket if it's cold outside, and deodorant. Just the basics, more than likely you will only be in there 24 hours if that. I just rinse off in the shower after delivery. Then really wash up at home where I'm more comfortable.

You can ask your OB to have a list of things to bring in the hospital :)
