TBH I ONLY PACK TWO PLAIN TEE SHIRTS, TWO PAIRS OF LIKE SPANDEX PANTS , SPORTS BRA /NURSING BRA IF YOU PLAN TO BREASTFEEDING . Toiletries , hair stuff if you PLAIN on taking pictures with baby in the hospital . The whole time ibwas in the hospital I wore the gowns mainly cause I was breastfeeding so had something loose for easy access.

Your welcome you'll do great ...
Just remember the breathing techniques breath though your nose and out your mouth . Cause screaming be cause of the pain will tighten your stomach up more when your stomach is contracting .
