Re: Lets pack our bags...
Here is a list I had posted a few weeks ago that I compiled from using several different sources. My Lamaze instructor also said to pack one smaller bag with the stuff you will need just for L&D so it isn't lost in with all the stuff you are packing to stay in the hospital for several days.
THINGS TO TAKE TO THE HOSPITAL
For Mom and Baby
>3-4 nightgowns and/or pajamas
>3-4 bras (nursing bras if you plan to breastfeed)
>6 pairs of underpants
>Robe
>Slippers
>Socks (some with non-skid bottom)
>Toiletries: toothbrush/toothpaste, soap, shampoo/conditioner, deodorant, lotion, brush, Blistex, scented shower gel/body spray (to feel good after delivery)
>Scrunchies
>Pillow
>Towels
>Bfing supplies – breastpads, lanolin, boppy
>Your own pads
>Makeup
>Snacks
>Money for vending machines
>Phone card
>Magazines
>List of people and phone numbers to call
>Camera/film
>Camcorder/tapes
>Going home outfit
>Clothes for baby (T-shirt, socks, hat, sleeping gown)
>Going home outfit for baby
>Blanket for bringing baby home
>Car seat
Miscellaneous items:
>Watch or small clock
>Insurance information
>Hospital pre-registration forms
>Change of clothes & toiletries for husband
Things to be used during labor:
>Small CD player & soothing music
>Focal point
>Tennis ball
>Lotion for massage
>Watch
>Paper/pen
>Hard candy to keep mouth moist
>An activity to keep busy during early labor
Hope this helps.

2 things that I'm adding to that list are lip balm and a portable fan. I go insane when my lips are dry, and also the L&D room in the hospital was kind of warm, so I'm bringing a small fan. I hate being hot!
