Hospital Bag Checklist
The final weeks of pregnancy can feel like forever, but that baby will arrive soon so it is best to be prepared. From about 30 weeks onwards you should be starting to gather essential items to bring with you to the hospital for the delivery with the aim of having your hospital bag ready to go by 36 weeks.
To help you on your way we've put together a guideline list of items that you will need for your hospital stay. You may want to pack two bags for the hospital: a small overnight bag for the items you'll need during labour and a larger bag for everything else that you'll need later.
If it feels like you are packing too much why not leave some items at home and you can have your partner or a family member bring them in to you as you need them. Why not leave your coming home outfit laid out at home and have someone bring it in to you on the day you are leaving the hospital. This way you won't feel like you are bringing a case suitable for a two week holiday!!
