You know you need your wallet abound identification and a sturdy bag. It’s also wise to have a printed birth plan, to remind you of what you want to have happen. Comfy, warm and easily layered clothing and nighties is a must. Bring your phone and charger. Bring undies, lots of socks, slippers, something to hold your hair up, and something readable. A pillow is nice too. Nothing should be too good to lose, or otherwise demolish.
