Bring your own changes of clothes, toiletries, and maybe your own maxi pads, a few outfits for the baby if you wanna take pics. You really don't need much to be honest. I packed so much I didn't need...
Eta I did bring the boppy which was very useful

I packed -
*snacks (just a little bag of chips and some cookies, but didn't eat much since so many people brought food!)
*pads (my hospital gives HUGE non sticky pads - I got thin extra long)
*toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant <-SO IMPORTANT, lol, brush, hair tie, shampoo, conditioner, body wash <-all travel size)
*comfy clothes - loose sweatpants, loose shirt, cover up (though I gave birth in Feb and it was 75 sweltering degrees in the hospital room)
*flip flops/socks/slippers
I made DH bring the bag with the baby stuff (going home outfit, cover for carrier, hat, and mostly empty bag to bring home formula & diapers) when he came to pick us up. I packed this beforehand and left it in an easy place where he could remember it!
I would suggest not over packing - If you're going to breastfeed and want a boppy, leave it in the car and have DH bring it up later. All baby stuff - leave in a separate bag and have DH bring up after baby is born (if you want it before you go home). You might want a camera - I would also put that in a bag for after baby comes out - you probably won't be wanting pics during labor ;)

Re: hospital bag help
Thing I found useful:
Nursing tanks/yoga pants - After the first day, I changed into regular clothes and these were practical and comfy.
Toiletries, towel, camera, chargers, boppy, socks/slippers, flip flops, lip gloss
At the last minute I took my robe out the bag, but I could've really used it because the room was freezing and the hospital gown sucked.
I used the hospital underwear and pads.
I packed my ipad thinking it would occupy me since I was induced and I never touched it.

Re: hospital bag help
I agree with all of the above but I always brought thank you notes with me. That way if someone brought a gift to the hospital, I could get their thank you note finished before I left to go home. I
