its a good idea to choose pants that are dark in colour, you do bleed a lot just after labor, and i found i leaked sorry TMI but wearing black or similar is great because its no noticeable. also your hospital may have a list of their recommendations. the other suggestions are great

two sets of cloths for the baby. i was in the hospital for two days and i hate what the hospital puts on them so i had an outfit for the first day and the take home outfit. if you don`t breastfeed you may need a bottle, or two. even if you decide to breastfeed bring a bottle just in case. you might get discourged and feed them via bottle. bibs, diapers my hospital provided them. pacifire if you wish. camera cam corder. brush and come for you. you want ot lok better then you feel when you have company lol! i brought snakcs to! i hate hospital food! :) an ipod. if you need something to calm you down. your own night gown. slippers socks. a take ome outfit for you. not your old cloths you will still have a tummy! dont foret the aby car seat or you guys will e going nowhere! lol!

Here is a list I found that I am going to follow! Towards the end of your pregnancy, it is a good idea to begin packing for your hospital stay. You should begin to pack your bags about a month before your due date. Packing for your stay can be a challenge if you do not allow yourself enough time to plan our what you would like to take with you. If you have experienced any type of preterm labor symptoms, you should have your bags packed earlier. Have your bag packed, closed up and placed in your car--you never know when you will be headed for the hospital to give birth! Mom?s Bag For Labor Health insurance card Registration papers for hospital Camera and film Video recorder Massage supplies?lotion, wooden massagers Lip balm or chap stick Crossword puzzle or magazines CD?s and a CD player Childbirth notes from birthing class Hair brush and clips Glasses, contacts and solution Toothbrush, toothpaste, floss Bed pillows (use a colored pillow case to distinguish from hospital pillows) Robe and slippers (non-skid) Calling card Address book Phone + charger Mom?s Bag For After Delivery Underwear Nursing bra Nursing pads Nursing pillow Nightgown Hair care products Comfortable clothes Shower cap Make up Deodorant Baby?s memory book Going home outfit (something you could wear when you were 5 months pregnant) Baby?s Bag Clothes for hospital pictures Clothes for baby to wear home Extra outfits Booties/socks Hat Mittens to prevent scratching Blanket (2) Car seat (MUST) Pacifiers Diapers if your hospital does not provide Baby wipes if your hospital does not provide Labor Partner Clothes Pyjamas if staying over Toothbrush Deodorant Take out menus Snacks Change for calls or vending machines cell phone and charger Watch with second hand to time contractions

I packed an outfit for baby to come home in a special outfit hubby bought for each to wear in the hospital, my pillow, change of clothes for me, nightgown (which i didn`t use either time), socks, slippers, and toiletries. Oh and I brought some crossword books to do while baby was sleeping or during labor. The rest is given to us by the hospital.

General: Change for the car park (easy to forget in the rush)! For Labour: Birth Plan Dressing Gown Slippers Socks – in case you get cold feet in labour! T-Shirt - to wear for the birth Massage Oil Labour `energiser` Snacks/Drinks Energy Sweets Watch – to time contractions Camera Books/Mags/Music – to pass the time Tens Machine Toiletries Water Spray Bottle - cool yourself down CD Player – favourite tunes make labour more bearable! Small Sponge - great for taking small sips of water & to cool down with Flannel - get your birth partner to mop your brow! Hair Brush Hair Bands Hair clips Water – small bottles are easier to sip from Antenatal Notes Bach Rescue Remedy – for times of crisis Birth Ball – some labour wards provide them For Birth Partner Change of Clothes Snacks & Drinks For After the Birth: Going home outfit (someone can always bring that in for you later) Knickers – disposable Nursing Bras – best to get properly fitted in late pregnancy Breast Pads Maternity Pads - take a couple of packs & have someone bring in more if need be Nightdress that`s suitable for breastfeeding (more comfy than PJs if you have stitches) Dressing Gown, lightweight - hospitals are hot! Shampoo Conditioner Cleanser/Toner/Moisturiser Shower Gel Deodorant - hospitals are hot! Soap Hand Cream Towels – ones that don’t matter, dark colours are good! Hairbrush Toothbrush & Toothpaste Arnica – helps with possible bruising Lavender Oil – a few drops in your bath can help healing and also relax you Tea Tree Oil – a few drops in your bath can help healing Nipple cream – well worth packing! Cosmetics Favourite breakfast cereal/ tea bags Fruit juice/mineral water Tissues Inflatable Feeding Pillow Ear plugs – in case you find yourself with the only sleeping baby on a noisy ward! Small plastic jug - some people swear by it....perhaps best not to ask why beforehand! For Baby: Car Seat One outfit for going home Babygros/sleepsuits Baby bundlers/gowns – great for night time nappy changes Baby Bodysuits/Vests Blanket Nappies Socks Hat Muslin Squares Baby Toiletries (all our toiletries are organic) - Shampoo/bodywash and Moisturiser Baby Nail Scissors & clippers - babies nails can be surprisingly long at birth Cotton Wool balls....you`ll be surprised how many you get through Nappy Sacks - degradable or non-degradable. How eco friendly do you want to be? Nappy Cream Baby Wipes - organic or not (useful to freshen up yourself, if not baby)! Scratch Mittens Bottles if required/milk - if not breastfeeding
