i didn't take a hospital bag but the things i wish i would have had was a brush and shamppo and conditioner. i stayed in the gown but i didnt mind its alot easier to do things such as breast feed and take care of yourself(clean yourself). but if you wanna take clothes. uhm i did have my cell phone charger and chapstick lol and babys stuff of your course. (i got induced a day early or else i would have made a little hospital bag.)
