Transcription: 
People are so concerned about what to bring to the hospital. Yourself, your breasts, that would be a good idea, and that's pretty much all you need, really to bring to the hospital. They have everything you could possibly need. Now, on the other hand, if you want to be comfortable, you could bring some booties because your feet do get cold. Bring a robe and some lip balm. I think, to me, the most important thing to bring to the hospital is your nightgown because, psychologically, when you put on a hospital gown, your mind thinks, "There's something wrong with me. I'm at the hospital. Give me some drug. Fix me." But if you have your own clothes and you just walk in a hospital, not like a patient, but a client using their facilities. You bring food and drink and some smell or scent that you like. Be calm; trust in your body. You can do it. That is the most important thing you can bring to the hospital.
