I was told to bring a long charger - how long should it be to reach the bed?
So far I packed toiletries (soap,shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste), towel, shower slippers, Advil, miralax, makeup remover and makeup for last day so I look half normal, pajamas, slinky skirt, sweatshirt
What am I missing?

You don’t need any medication. Once you’re in the hospital- all medication has to be provided by them.

Siddur/tehillim
Outfit for yourself for leaving (though slinky skirt and sweatshirt work too)
Maybe a snack to have nearby (though Bikkur Cholim room is well stocked )

Deodorant, a few pairs of socks, nipple cream, chapstick/moisturizer - the hospital HVAC is very drying. Tichel/snood. Comfortable soft nursing bra (more than one if you get very sweaty post birth) and nursing pads. Something to read postpartum.
Some snacks- I'm usually starving, although the chessed room has stuff too. Not sure what they will have over Pesach.
If you have a boy, you need to call your preferred Lakewood mohel immediately (unless it's 2am!) if you want to make sure you will be able to book him.

A portable charger will be great if you can't get the long cord one.

Don’t bring any medications unless it’s something you take daily like thyroid, blood pressure etc
The hospital will give you any pain meds or stool meds you want. If you need pain meds Advil won’t cut it anyway btw.
I bring snacks, a long charger , some comfy easy clothes, 2-3 nursing bras, an outfit for the baby and some pacis, and my swaddle bee. That’s basically it. Hospital provides everything else.

They always run out of nipple cream. Camera if you don't have a smartphone. Nursing pj/nightgown, theirs is really awkward.

They give a shampoo and body wash and there are soap dispensers for washing ur hands.
The shampoo and body wash are not good ( kinda obviously)
I would bring my own towels they give tiny towels that would prob fit my 2 year old.

Best thing I bring to each birth is my own pillow and a soft blanket the hospital pillow and blanket are horrible.
Also pack in a wheely suitcase a bag is a big hassle
