What should I bring to the hospital for labor and delivery?

It can help to bring personal items for your stay, such as toiletries, comfortable clothing, your ID and insurance card, phone chargers, important documents, and items you may want for your baby after delivery. Planning ahead and packing a hospital bag before your due date can make your stay more comfortable.
