A walkman would have been nice. I didn't even think about it but I was not in a private room and it would have been nice to have one when the neighbors were visiting. I wouldn't have used it much though.

There is so many things you need, but I definitely remember the one thing that I can't remember anyone telling me to bring... which was nursing pads. OMG!!! I didn't even think of it probably because I never BF before! I was a mess! My shirt was drenched when my milk came in! I believe it was the second day I was in the hospital after my C-section.

MY OWN PILLOWS (2 of them in colored pillow cases) and 2 of my own towels. The hospital towels were soooo small!
My Nursing Mother's Companion Guide
Snacks for DH
My toothbrush and toothpaste
A scrunchie for my hair
A index card sign for the bassinet that reads:
I am a Breastfeed baby. NO BOTTLES or PACIFERS please
Those are my most important things that I brought with me to the hospital.

Re: BTDT Mom's...packing for the hospital
Everything everyone said I agree with. I also bought my boppy pillow to help with feeding. I needed a lot of conditioner and a comb. After labor and delivery, my hair was so tangled. My roommate borrowed my conditioner too.
