WHAT TO PACK FOR A HOSPITAL BIRTH 

 

Baby will be arriving soon and it's time to set up the car seat and stroller, stock up on diapers and pack your hospital bag!

Here are some suggestions of items you might want to have with you for a hospital birth.

Note: If a doula will be attending your birth, she will likely bring several things for you to use during labor as well.... i.e. heating pads, a fan, honey sticks, ginger chews, massage oils, TENS unit, etc.
