Hi and congrats on becoming a mommy!

I found there wasn't really anything I needed to pack for the birth. I think i had packed some music and a nightie but I was so out of it and so tired I never used the CD's and I just ended up waering a hospital gown.

I had to stay in the hospital for 5 days , so after the birth I needed:
A few pairs of pyjammas, socks, and underwear
A nursing bra
A bathrobe and slippers
Snacks (got really hungry between meals)
Entertainment for when baby was sleeping and I could not (magazines, books, knitting,)
Pads (the hospital ones were terrible)
Brush and Hairband
Toothbrush and Paste
Soap, Shampoo, Deoderant
Clothes to go home in
Camera and extra batteries
Phone number list so I could call people with the good news
And that was pretty much all I needed. Everything else they provided for me.

For baby:
An outfit and hat to go home in
Car seat and blankies
(didn't need diapers or toiletries, they were provided)
