The hospital should give you a tub but you’ll want more.
This is a just personal favorite of mine:

Used for all 3 pregnancies.
Hospital Bag:
Shower flip flops! Preferably in a larger size because if you end up with an epidural/spinal swelling can be major. No one told me that
Slippers for walking around the hospital - I like the moccassin kind that have bottoms are are almost shoes but not quite.
I liked having a silk robe for after labor and sitting around. It could cover me while nursing a bit. That robe became like my thing after wearing it in the hospital and my kids blankie/comfort object now.
I didn't bring any underwear or pads to the hospital - I knew they provided mesh ones for when I was there and plenty of pads. I took a ton home with me too.
An extension cord!! So my labor/delivery suite was a corner room usually not used at the time - it's better for tours and my shower light was broken. And it was a large room - and the plugs were like NOWHERE near the bed I was in. Thankfully my husband travels with extension cords (at the time he traveled a lot for his job and just grabbed that backpack) and we had some.
Snacks for after - I brought from Nature's Valley granola, crackers, etc
Long bendy straws - helpful while nursing (you need the extra length). Both in and out of the hospital.
Bobby pins and hairties!
Something relatively cute to leave the hospital in. I have a ton of photos from leaving, and I'm glad I had this purple dress on that I loved. It was just a jersey dress, but it looks nicer than sweats and those photos are my favorite.
Try and nab from the hospital:
-Mesh underwear
-Pads
-Sitz bath
-Newborn diapers, as many as you can
-Baby brush
-Baby sucky bulb thingy (I mean they scare me, but they let me have the one they gave me...soooo I took it!)
-Dermoplast
-Witch hazel pads
-Any ice packs - my hospital stopped giving them at 48 hours and I agree, it stops being really effective and the witch hazel was fine after that for me, but some people swear by getting more ice packs
-Footprints, discharge book, etc on memorabilia
Once you're home:
I'm an advocate for disposable underwear - I didn't wanna spend money on actual underwear or risk ruining my underwear - plus disposable was easy. My 'diapers' just went in the diaper pail with the babies.
Earth Mama Perineal Spray: I liked this so much better than dermoplast which just started to be too harsh. https://www.amazon.com/Earth-Mama-Perineal-Pregnancy-Postpartum/dp/B0065ZTKWS/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_121_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MAN9247RNVFT9QETD3X6
An extra thing of Tuck's witch hazel pads - I went through what the hospital gave me quickly.
Oatmeal cookies - they help with milk production and are easy to eat while nursing a baby. Hot oatmeal is NOT easy to eat while having a baby attached lol
We are a 20 minute drive from the hospital and husband will not leave my side, so I'd like to get everything in. I'm a notorious overpacker, too, but I'd rather have something I don't need than have not have something that I do need.

I think that covers just about everything. I used travel packing cubes to keep all of the clothing items organized, and I already had several different other travel bags that I generally use when actually leaving town, for all of the "other" items. [edited formatting]
Bring lanisoh nipple cream,
heating/ice pads,
perineal spray, and
the biggest hero, soothies.
Here’s a breast feeding kit that’s a good start.
If you really want to be awesome grab some depends too.
No one really brings the things the mother needs immediately after. A friend of ours got the stuff above for my wife. By far it was the best gift we got.
