First, you should know that you do not have to stress yourself too much on what you have to bring to the hospital. Many women worry too much about what to pack and what not to pack. In reality, it is just a senseless worrying. The bottom line is, even if you unexpectedly end up in the hospital without your bag, you will be fine.

Of course you will want to bring the essentials: a few diapers, baby wipes, sanitary napkins, Tucks, a comfortable outfit for you to wear (a maternity outfit and robe), slippers for mommy and a few outfits for the baby. Keep in mind, most hospitals will supply diapers and wipes, as well as sanitary napkins. So, when you pack your maternity bag, don't focus too much on these particular items.

Do not bring your pre-pregnancy clothes. Unless you are in the minority, your pants will only pull up to your thighs. For baby, bring comfortable socks and those little mittens that keep them from scratching their face.
