I packed way too much stuff. This is basically what I used. Actually I didn't even use underwear- only the mesh ones provided by the hospital. I had an episiotomy and forceps delivery so I was very tender and the thought of underwear made me cringe. Lol! I did pack some outfits for baby- way too much though. She stayed in the hospital onesie the first day. I did dress her up cute the second day since the hospital had a photographer wh came to take pics and then a going home outfit for her as well. I did also pack some snacks for me and DH too- they were handy when he didn't feel like running down to the cafeteria. Breast feeding is hungry business!

yes I packed way to much for my first lol. I have learned my lesson. I used the mesh undies until the 2nd day. My DS was in the NICU so i had to get dressed to go visit him. We were  so dh was going to wash which ever outfit we needed and bring it to the hospital for discharge, otherwise I would have packed the baby outfit

Re: Hospital bag?
The only things I used were:
1- Pajamas/underwear for me
2- going home outfit for DD
3- toiletry bag (shampoo, conditioner, soap, hair brush, tooth brush/paste)
4- Boppy pillow
5- Phone/iPad.
I lived 2 minutes from the hospital and since DH wasn't permitted to stay overnight, I could always make a list and ask him to bring stuff with him when needed.

Hospital bag?
DH will just get whatever I need and bring it back for me since we live about 5 mins from the hospital. I am bringing:
1. a going home outfit for the baby. The baby will be in the stuff the hospital gives me the whole rest of the time.
2. toiletries for myself
3. underwear/nursing bras
4. One pair of PJs, 2 tank tops and two pairs of capri yoga pants (it'll be july)
5. One sweatshirt
6. iPhone, iPad, charger, camera

Just to piggyback this question- when should you get the bag ready? I'm 27 weeks now and I know its early, but I'm not sure when I should start getting ready...

I'm a planner and always do everything before I need to. I think I had mine ready by around 30 weeks last time...just in case. I didn't end up needing it until 39 weeks, but I'm one of those "better safe than sorry" type of people. I felt more comfortable knowing it was packed and in my trunk if I needed it.
