what goes in the hospital bag

Now that I am on bed rest, I wanted to make sure that I have everything I need in the labor bag just in case. Here is what I put in:
Pads
underwear
maternity/nursing bras
socks
scrunchies
slippers
clothes to go home in
toiletries- toothbrush, glasses, hairbrush, deodorant
lip balm
phone numbers of friends and family
insurance papers
What am I missing?

Dont forget to pack your own towel - they give you ones the size of washcloths.

Re: what goes in the hospital bag

your own pillow, much nicer than the hospital ones

a copy of your admission forms, just in case they get lost. you don't really want to be trying to remember the date of your last period at that moment.
