cotton wool u shudnt need, hosp usually provide this, baby bath u wont need, or shampoo, i never used this till either were bout 2 weeks old9just cos skin is so delicate)

magazines(for between contractions/waitibg times etc if your staying in)
sweets high in sugar incase u forget to eat! ( i did )

Yeah deff mags and something for Stu if it is long going
I would also take like a magicool spray or hand held fan as it can get mega hot
Plenty of change for vending machines or phone

You:
Breast pads
Nursing bras (or at least bigger bras!)
Antibacterial spray
Nipple cream
Make up
Hair brush

Baby:
Nappy cream

Misc:
Hospital notes
Birth plan
Change for machines (drinks, soup etc)

I didn't use half the stuff I took and you can always get someone to get you more stuff if you don't have enough, so seriously.. don't take too much of this crap you read about!! just the essentials.

Hope that helps
