I see so many standard checklists! Can we make ours? With priority listed! High medium low.
I can only think of homecoming clothes as important, and a gown for visitors. And slippers for walking in the hall! Maternity gowns! Some toilette items, camera, car seat. My own towel! Pads are hospital provided.
All baby items are hospital provided, I am fairly happy with them.
CHAPSTICK! The hospital usually has it but I like my own :) and change for snacks from the vending machine.. those where the most inconvenient "forgotten" items.
My hospital is fairly well stocked with loads of stuff. I just bring my robe, I prefer nursing tanks and shorts or just chill in the ugly mesh undies and slip on a robe if someone visits, slipper socks, toiletries, my own big soft towel (and one for DH) something comfy to go home in. For baby I just pack a regular diaper bag in case we stop off on the way home for anything and then a going home outfit but other than that I just use the hospital supplied stuff as it's all unscented sensitive stuff anyway.
Make sure you install your carseat and have that all set up and checked out in time as well.
Clothing for you and babe to go home in - I used the hospital gowns last time, will probably bring nursing tanks this time though
Camera/Cellphone/chargers
Boppy/nursing pillow - this was uber helpful to me and visitors even used it to hold baby :)
Your own pillow - well at least at my hospital the pillows suck
