Hospital bag for myself

Just wondering what people think is most important to pack for yourself or if there's anything you wish you had packed if you've already had children and done it all before ? I'm all sorted for baby his stuff is all ready and packed I just really want to make sure I don't forget anything for myself now

First, you will need to know a few things about your hospital stay. What all does your hospital provide for you and how long could your stay be. Here in Michigan it can be as early as a 24 hour release up to 72 hour release. All depends on if it's a natural birth or c-section and how the baby is doing. I am preparing for both.
I am packing two pairs of sweats or loose pj pants, loose shirts, nursing bra(I'm breastfeeding), cloth panties(ones you don't care to ruin), breast pads for leaking, pads for all the blood, toiletries such as travel size shampoo&conditioner, lotion, body wash, toothbrush&toothpaste, deodorant, CHAP STICK(lol), and I bought a package of cleansing wipes for down there, comfy shoes in case you have to walk forever before labor, robe. I am probably forgetting something, lol but that's the big things. Some say a pillow. All depends on your preference. I am due in 31 days! Lol so I am getting anxious!
