i would ya, it cant hurt. I went into labour at 38 weeks. I never took much either. i took a change of clothes for me, some chapstick, my pillow, my housecoat. and for baby i took an outfit to come home in. thats all.

Why not? Better to be prepared.
I packed the basics (clothes, phone charger, etc) Something to consider including :
Slippers, they came in handy.
Your own nursing bras if you plan to breastfeed / nursing gowns or tops.
Chapstick! Something about labor chaps your lips.
Your own shampoo/ conditioner and soap for bathing after birth. Idk about yours, but my hospital didn't provide any and I would have been SOL.
I WISH I would have brought my own pillow because I couldn't get comfy in the hospital beds, and last of all, I wish I would have packed my Boppy because BFing comfortably was hard in the hospital.
Just food for thought!

I gave birth at 36 weeks and 5 days. Went to the hospital thinking I'd be sent home a few hours later. Ended up giving birth and my mom had to throw my back together and bring it. Hah. So definitely get a bag together.
I brought/used-
Travel size shampoo/conditioner/soap
Hairbrush
Toothbrush/paste
Comfortable clothes (yoga pants, gown, big t-shirt)
For baby, I brought...His carseat, blanket, and a going home outfit. The hospital supplied everything else.
