I'm using cloth diapers so I packed a diaper bag with them, a couple outfits for her. (Dress up time :) hair bows on those headbands. Wipes and a blanket.

My bag is not even made yet. Lol but comfy clothes (loose and stretchy) undies and nursing bras. Sandles. hair brush, ties, shampoo n conditioner. Deodorant. Phone, charger, camera. And an outfit for hubby, his deodorant, shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste.

I'm packing like its a weekend getaway....  It is technically you just don't know when.....

Depends on your hospital but really only a go home outfit for the baby. All of the other stuff will be for you.
Shower stuff plus everyday items like lotion, lip balm (I'm bring my own towel)
Clothes, sock, undies (can throw out)
Breast feeding pillow
Music
Snacks for you partner
Camera with charger
Phone charger
Game or something to distracted you

I'm a first time mum so just packed what I thought I would need with some advice from other mothers.
It's so exciting!!!
