Wow, I just found this finished draft saved from almost 2 years ago - whoops!

Hospital Bag Essentials (Natural Birth)
I packed EVERYTHING in my bags for labor and recovery. I would rather be over-prepared than under-prepared, and I'm very thorough, so I don't think I missed anything in my planning!
