and some names

Make a music cd for you to listen to, this was a good way for me to relax. Take a couple of gowns and socks for you to wear. Take a bunch of change so your boyfriend can get snacks and drinks. Just take anything with you that you think may comfort you during and after birth. Madison is a good name, Maddie for short. Good luck!

Bring your shampoo and conditioner, hairbrush, makeup, deodorant,toothbrush and an outfit to come home in,remember, you most likely will not fit into your pre-pregnancy clothes, so bring a cute maternity outfit...I know this sounds kinda gross, but bring old grannie panties with you..You will need them as you can only use Kotex after you deliver,and why ruin a good pair of panties?...Also, bring the outfit you want your daughter to come home in..the hospital will give you a receiving blankets...Also...DON"T forget the carseat!!
I am due to have my daughter in 7 weeks....
I like the names
Avery Renee
Baleigh Nicole
Aiden Makenzie
Dylan Makenna
Morgan Alexandra
Madison Danielle..
Best of luck you...Hope everything goes smooth and as painless as possible for you!!
Many Blessings to your little girl!

Definitely take a government-approved carseat with you- they will not let you take the kid out of the hospital if you don't have a carseat properly installed. Most hospitals will come to your car to check, even!
Take some clothes, deodorant, toothbrush/toothpaste, and hairbrush for you. Your boyfriend may not need anything, but if he ends up having to stay with you overnight, he'll need the same. Pack ahead of time so you don't have to worry about it after your in labor!
As for girl names... I've always thought Charlotte, Alice, and Ellory were nice.
Best of luck!

Dependin on Where you live, You may jus want to pack a few whort sleee onsies for the baby, a pair of booties, a hat, and a lite blanket. For you, a sports bra, grannie panties, sweat pants (shorts), and a comfy shirt. You will need a few pair of grannie panties though. Believe me.....

the hospital will provide you with all you will need. Diapers, toothbrush, shampoo, feminine products,that kind of stuff. You may want to bring bruch/comb, change of clothes for you and the baby to go home in, and your own pajama's because the ones they give you are a bot ugly.

For labor
• Your birth plan.
• Your insurance card and any hospital paperwork you need.
• Your eyeglasses, if you need any. Even if you usually wear contacts, you'll probably need or want to take them out at some point during your stay.
• A hair band and barrettes, if you think you might want them.
• Lip moisturizer.
• A bathrobe, nightgown, slippers, and a couple of pairs of socks. Hospitals provide gowns for you to use during labor and afterward, but most will allow you to wear your own clothes if you prefer. Choose something loose and comfortable that you don't mind getting ruined. You'll need to wear a gown instead of pants so that your practitioner can check your cervix. Choose a top with short, loose sleeves so you your blood pressure can be checked easily and so you can slip your top off easily if you want to change and have an IV in place. You might also want to bring your own slippers and robe for walking around during the early stages of labor. If you don't want to risk soiling your robe, you can ask for a second hospital gown to wear as a robe to cover your backside.
• Something to read, if you're so inclined. One husband we know spent the early stages of labor reading The Lion in Winter while his wife read The English Patient. "In retrospect, I should have brought the National Enquirer or Vogue — something trashy with pictures," she says.
• Massage oils or lotions, music, an extra pillow, whatever you need to help you relax. (If you do bring your own pillow, be sure to use a patterned or colorful pillowcase so it doesn't get mixed up with the hospital's.) You might consider bringing tennis balls or a rolling pin in case you have back labor and need them for massage.
• Talismans, a picture of someone or something you love, anything you find reassuring.
For your partner/labor coach
• Money for parking and change for vending machines.
• A few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant.
• A change of clothes
• Some snacks and something to read during the early stages.
• A camera/video camera and film or tape or a memory card and batteries. Someone has to document the big event! (NOTE: Not all hospitals allow videotaping of the birth itself, but there's usually no rule against taping during labor or after the birth.)
• A bathing suit. If your partner wants to take a bath or shower during labor, you may want to jump in with her.
Postpartum
• A fresh nightgown.
• Snacks! After many hours of labor, you're likely to be pretty hungry and you don't want to have to rely on the hospital's food. So bring your own crackers, raisins, and granola bars.
• A nursing bra, breast pads, and maternity underwear, if you'd prefer not to wear the net panties they'll give you at the hospital. Chances are, whatever underwear you do wear the first few days will get stained, even with sanitary pads (which the hospital provides).
• Toiletries. Toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, lip balm, deodorant, and makeup, if it's important to you. Hospitals will have soap, shampoo, and lotion, but you might prefer your own brands.
• Your address book and prepaid phone card or cell phone. After the baby's born you'll want to call family and friends to let them know the good news. Note: Some hospitals don't allow cell phones to be used in the labor and delivery area, so you may want to ask about it ahead of time.
• A going-home outfit. Bring something roomy and easy to get into — believe it or not, you'll probably still look 5 or 6 months pregnant — along with a pair of flat shoes. The last thing you'll be worrying about when you go home is whether your outfit is fashionable
