Hospital Bag List?

I'm nearly 36wks pregnant, being induced at 38wks and in the middle of renovations due to complete next weekend (week before induction).
I have nothing ready or prepared yet and starting to panic!
I need a good comprehensive list so I can just quickly throw everything in a big bag next weekend. I think we've bought most stuff but I can't actually get to it at the moment to check as all 3 x bedroom furniture is piled into one room.

I would also suggest a small hand held fan or cooling mist as the maternity wards are roasting! Hope all goes well OP Thanks

Cosy blanket for you. Hard to nap on hospital sheets...

If you are planning to breastfeed, take some 'MAM compresses' and some nipple cream. I started using it regularly from day 1 and so far have been lucky not to suffer cracked nipples, mastitis etc .. 9 months in now!

We took my pillow (with a coloured pillowcase on it so it didn't get mixed up).

Would also add juice boxes, nipple cream, flip flops and phone charging banks to that list.
