Packing Labor and Delivery Hospital Bag

So I packed a ton of things in my large hospital bag.  I know they say that first time mom's pack way to many things but my logic is that it's better to have too much than not enough, plus I like options.  Below is my "What's in My Hospital Bag" video and below that is a list of the items I packed but didn't end up using. 


So here is a list of the things I packed that I did not end up using.

Christmas Lights - was going to use them if I had the baby at night to set the scene.
Make Up - Was too tired to have visitors at the hospital and didn't feel like putting on make up.
Night Gowns - I decided to mess up the hospital gowns instead of my own.
Nursing Pads & Cream -  Didn't need them until I got home.
Black yoga pants - I pretty much wore the hospital gown.
Pads - I used the super duper extra large pads provided by the hospital.
Tummy Wrap - Wasn't able to fit it until like day 4 or 5 at home.
Kambucha Energy Drink - Decided not to use it because of the caffeine.
Prune Juice - Didn't drink it.  I ended up taking a stool softener provided by the hospital.
Vibrating Back Massager - Didn't need it as labor progressed pretty fast and I didn't have back labor.
Diapers - decided to use up the free diapers provided by the hospital.

I also brought some other items that I didn't show in the video.
Boppy Pillow - for nursing
Cord Blood Banking Kit
