I hope this might help someone like it helped me. I've made a list combining things that the hospital requests you take in your hospital bag as well as things that a mommy here who gave birth in January took.
I love the list and will make it really easy for me to get everything for my hospital bag
Mommy - take everything in dark colours due to lots of vaginal bleeding. Even if you have had a c-section

Another tip that I got from the new mommy was to hold of on buying a breast pump until after the baby is born. Most of us go in with the idea to breast feed but sometimes we cannot for whatever reason and then a lot of money was spent on a pump etc.
