Here's another useful list that I had gathered. This is for the "Hospital Bag" and it should be packed, ideally by your seventh month in case you have to deliver prematurely.
Daddy’s & mommy’s identity cards
Letter from Gynecologist
Booking Slip for admission
Notebook, writing materials
For Baby
2 baby tops (1 long-sleeve, 1 short sleeve)
1 bottom
2 pair of mittens and booties (preferably baby-socks coz' booties are too big on new born
2 receiving blanket with-hoods
1 swaddling cloth
Handkerchiefs
1 baby soft cap (if the receiving blanket hood is too big)
For Mommy
Maternity or Normal pads (Day & Night use)
2 pyjamas with front opening buttons for nursing
Slippers
Inflatable ring (After Episiotomy) - can loan from hospital too
1 pack disposable panties
Clothes for after discharge
Books/Magazines
2 nursing bras
Disposable Nursing pads
1 face towel
1 bath towel
Toiletries
A pair of socks (if feeling-cold at night)
Plastic bags for soiled clothings
Handphone & charger
Breast Pump
Snacks in case you don’t like hospital food
Nipple cream
Fybogel – can get from Pharmacy (Drink a pack aft delivery... makes it easier to move your bowels cos with the stitches below, it can get quite painful)
For Daddy/Miscellaneous
A jacket
Digital camera (CF card, batteries, charger)
Video-cam (batteries, tapes)
Essence of chicken/Red bull
Chocolate bars-& snacks
Tissues/ Wet tissues
2 bottles of Mineral Water
Note: I was advised not to wear my contact lenses. So for those who wants to wear your contact lenses upon discharge, just bring them but make sure you don't wear them when you are going for delivery.

And body lotion! To smell nice and lovely apart from preventing dryness!
you forget to add abdominal binder, this is important to hold your tummy which is become menggeleber after delivery, but never mind I'll buy for you hehehe
Gee!
By the looks of your checklist, giving birth seems damned daunting, man!
You might wanna include smelling salts for your hubby if you plan on insisting that he stays and watch the entire delivery. :)
Thanks for the tips, everyone.
Great one, Karrot! Yudhi will definitely need smelling salts!
To Mama: Yeah, I'll get the abdominal binder, except that it is not needed for the "Hospital Bag". I'll only need it after the traditional massages.
