Packing for the Hospital

Packing a bag for the hospital well before your expected due date is not only a good idea, it's common practice. To keep the load down on the bag, consider packing two bags for the hospital — one for labor and one for coming home. Below are items that many other moms have found to be necessary or helpful.
 
Labor Bag Checklist
Bathrobe and nightgown, if you prefer your own to the hospital's. Make sure they are loose fitting and comfortable. Remember, you will want at least one for labor and one for after.
Pillows. Many laboring mothers prefer to bring their own comfortable pillows from home.

Slippers
Socks
Shower necessities (shampoo, soap, comb, deodorant, personal toiletries, etc.)
