What were some of the must-have items you had when packing your hospital bag? Was there something special that you added in that wasn’t on any list?

I’m nearing the end of my 4th and final pregnancy, so I’ll be packing my hospital bag very soon. I’ve packed a hospital bag three other times now, so I have a pretty good idea of what you should put in a hospital bag when having a baby, and of course, what you should leave out.
