I got some slippers, 3 outfits for him, chargers & extension cord, post partum underwear and pads, birth plan, wallet, hydration(water & Powerade), a moomoo for labor & sleeping outfit after my shower, headphones, & some nooks.

The hospital provides all the diapers and wipes for baby. They also provide moms with some of the postpartum care like pads. I agree with above the only thing I would add is a pillow for significant other or blanket because the ones at the hospital are so thin! And if you want a picture outfit and welcome sign for baby

Adult nappies.
I just birth on Tuesday and for the first 48 hour after they were a life saver. Bleed through the first 2. But after that, it just felt like wearing period undies.

I would say to also have back up bits ready to be collected from home by someone just incase you need more. I had an unexpected two weeks in the hospital when I had my son.
Deffo lip balm, they were soooo dry on gas and air! Xx

Agree with above.
Here’s a few extras I had or wish I had.
Eye mask and earplugs!! Hospitals are so noisy/bright at all hours of the day/night.
I also took a robe for going in and out of shower incase it’s a walk from bed.
Crocks/shower shoes and/or slippers (floors are nasty)
Water bottle or cup with straw with big opening for ice.
Big/loose comfy clothes
Your own pillow with a fun coloured/patterned pillowcase (so it doesn’t get mixed up with hospital linens)
Adult diapers were easier and comfier than pads IMO
Lots of Snacks for you and partner.
Baby hat/mittens
Breast pump if you plan to pump, they might show you how to use it if you have one already. (And bring a bottle with a zero/slow flo nipple)
If you get cold easily -warm socks and blanket
Long phone charger and wall plug
Headphones/ear buds
Hair brush/accessories
Toiletries.
Good luck Mama!

I found a really good list on the Boots website! I just googled “what to pack in hospital bag as a FTM”, definitely worth a look!

Following because I have no idea what I should pack, stressing currently because I feel so unprepared, luckily I still have 15-11 weeks to get ready (I say 15 to to 11 because I’m 15 weeks away from my due date, but I have a cerclage which they take out at 36 weeks which is 11 weeks away, and they say after I get the cerclage out baby boy can come at any point)
