Hospital Bag?

I already have baby's bag packed, but I was wondering what I should pack for myself. And also, what I shouldn't pack.

Thank you so much ladies. I'm starting to stress packing the bag because my MIL is breathing down my neck about it.

But By pads, do you mean the normal winged ones or the HUGE ones? I do plan on breastfeeding so I'll need to pick up a nursing bra/tank top.

Definitely don't forget big comfy underwear! You're gonna need it with the huge pads and ice packs they have you wear. My hospital provides you with the pads and even this mesh underwear but I found it really uncomfortable and used my own. Also like the ladies above said, definitely take you comfy clothes so you don't have to be in the robe the whole time. And shower stuff. You'll feel gross and icky and wanna take a nice shower . also maybe your own comfy pillow.

I would bring a few pairs of comfy pjs so u don't have to wear a hospital robe the hole time and if the dad is with u and comming with make sure he has some clothes as stuff backed as well and I'd bring somthing to do while ur in labor to distract ur from the pain :)
