(Pram, bed, changing table, bottles artificial milk and many clothes from newborn to 1 year) What else my baby really need ?
What should I bring to hospital in labour day? And how should I dress newborn when I am gonna leave the hospital? How long Need I stay in hospital ?
Thank you for answering :)

Are you in the uk? Why don’t you understand your doctors?

Assuming you are in the uk. You will need to dress baby in a vest, baby grow and either a hat and cardigan or a star wrap. You will need a car seat to travel by car. Snow suits are not suitable for cars.

This website will help.

I would strongly suggest, seriously, that rather than buying more stuff you spend the rest of the time (and money) improving your English. Women who go into UK maternity units / labour wards with poor English tend to suffer the worst outcomes — know this from bitter experience in my dh’s family.

How long you will be advised to stay in hospital will depend on how well you and baby are after the birth.

Muslims. Changing mat and nappy bag. Baby bath and cotton balls. I found travel cot useful so I didn't have to go up three flights for naps. Nappies of course! Car seat.
If your birth is straightforward you might go home the same day depending on what time you give birth. You need to bring maternity pads and change of clothes/nightwear and toiletry bag for yourself and a few baby grows and nappies for baby. Snack if your labour is long. Blanket to cover baby. Hat for baby as it will be chilly in Feb. Don't forget the car seat!
Really you need alot less than you might think and its not like the shops will be shut- you can always get stuff you decide you need. Try to get out and about - I hated being housebound so was out next day back from hospital (I had a section so was in for a few days). You might find ante natal and post natal classes at your local health centre useful (and good for meeting other mums). Best of luck!
