I'd take several pairs of oldish large pants too. Then you can throw them away if you need to (I had a lot of bleeding post birth).

I always buy disposable pants as well as the maternity pads just to save my own undies :)

You also need a towel (old or dark for the after birth clean up)
Hair bands if long hair
phone and charger
I pod or something to play music on if you wish
