    Hey Mama!
    What an exicitng time it is, packing
    your bag in preparation for meeting
    your baby - how surreal!
    It’s important to pack your bag depending on your
    planned mode of birth and your expected length of
    stay in hospital (even though things might change!)

    This hospital bag list is based on an average 1-3 day


    stay in hospital. If you are having your baby in a
    private hospital and staying longer you may need
    to pack more, and if you are planning a homebirth
    or opting for an early discharge you will not need as
    much.

    Your partner or support person can always go home


    and grab some more things if you need them. I
    personally found I needed extra clothes, my milk
    came in on day 2 and everything was soaked!

    Sending love Mama!
