Wow how lucky you are. In ireland u are provided with nothing. You have to bring everything you need for yourself and baby. Pads, nappies, wipes all have to be in our bag. I'm also amazed how early I'm reading some countries have scans, its around 16 wks here for first. No testing on baby for problems either. Labour ward has a bed for mum, no balls or baths uunfortunately for us!

I've never gotten a recieving blanket with any of my babies but I've always gotten diapers, wipes, thermometer, bulb for sucking baby's nose out, and a couple tiny bottles of formula. Oh and a cheap tote bag with the hospital's name. For your personal hygiene they'll supply you with pretty much everything you need but the products kind of suck and you're charged for everything so if your insurance doesn't cover it you could be left with the bill for them

Check with your hospital. I have found every one is different. Usually diapers, wipes, hat, receiving blanket, shampoo, binkie, formula
