Pretty good checklist!

Peri bottle, I highly recommend the underwear with the pad build in over pads they so comfy and there’s no risk of it sticking to u if u have to have stitches I packed to pairs of clothes for myself always go one size above what u was before pregnant in case bonus points if adjustable strap baby’s clothes to put on after you’ve given birth and 1 for going home in (if u end up spending more days in then ur partner or whoever can always go home just stick to minimal) don’t forget snacks many snacks, if ur breast feeding don’t worry abt nipple pads ur milk don’t come in straight away, shampoo conditioner body wash (travel size) a towel also nappies and wipes hats mittens if not already on sleep suits, slippers, pyjamas socks in case hospital is cold, muslin birth plan, birth passport, water bottle (very important) hair brush

Bobbles cause u will get very hot and sweaty during birth, I took my ID jus in case even tho they never asked for it but my midwife told me too just in case and also anything for if u want to take special photos and don’t forget that ur partner has to pack there’s as well but don’t make that something to add onto ur plate just remind them speaking from my partners pov he regretted not taking a pillow and blanket as char is dead ass uncomfortable

Ngl...we found my list on Pinterest and ended up only wearing the going home outfits, bringing a nursing pillow and using the charger cords, back massager and phones for doordash. My hospital (Northside ATL) gave me literally everything else i needed for birth and postpartum
