First Time Mom's Guide: What to Pack for Your Hospital Bag

It’s a good idea to have a hospital bag packed by week 35 and either have it in the car you’ll be travelling to the hospital in, or in the hallway ready to grab on your way out.

Writing the check-list for your hospital bag, working out what essentials you’ll need for yourself and your newborn, and then finally packing it all up really does bring it home just how close you are to holding your baby for the first time.

Most hospitals would give you a basic list of items to put in your hospital bag, but we're here now to share what else you could include to have the ultimate comfort during and after your birthing experience. There’s no harm bringing more, especially for the mum who’ll work so hard to deliver your baby.
