About this article:
This checklist will help you pack your pregnancy hospital bag so you’ll have everything you need for yourself and your new baby. Plus there’s a mini-checklist for birth partners as well. Perhaps pack your bags together so you can double-check that you’ll each have everything you might need. If you have a minute, check what your hospital has on hand or provides so you won't need to take those items. Then, once all the bags are packed, keep them handy, either in the car or near the door, so you'll be ready to go at a moment's notice.
Your hospital bag should be about the size of a large gym bag. If you’re expecting twins or multiples you might need to take more than one bag. If you like, you could take separate bags with one for mum, one for the birth partner, and one filled with supplies for the baby, so that you can find everything a little more easily.
With this hospital bag list, you’ll have your maternity bag well stocked Good luck!
