Which hospital will you be delivering at? You can use Thomson medical hospital checklist as reference (https://www.thomsonmedical.com/delivering-at-thomson/hospital-bag-checklist). Do get perineal bottle. It’s very helpful. I did not bring nipple cream and shield to the hospital but overall it’s up to you.

I'll be delivering at TMC! Will running down water considered the same as how it works for the perineal bottle? As I've heard most of them didn't use as they ended up having c-sect. Thanks for your reply tho!

Comb, Kotex overnight panties (for discharge day), skincare and charger. I brought along perineal spray but didn’t use.

Nope! Mine was natural. I put it in the hospital’s fridge and the first spray almost sent me to heaven 😂. I just used warm/cold water with soap instead (my friend told me it heals faster if you use Dettol which it did for me). I only had pain 20 hours after birth, no painkillers because it was 4am and I was allergic to panadol and they couldn’t prescribe me anything else since Dr was asleep lol. I managed to sleep with the pain and the next day was just sore with no pain.
