You can also think about what information or moments you want to record for your Baby Book as a keepsake! At a minimum you will need to take your health insurance information, hospital forms and Medicare cards.
Make sure you check with your hospital or birth centers what paperwork they need. It is a great idea to have a think about what kinds of things you normally would find relaxing and include those. Educating yourself and your support team about what to expect during birth is a great idea so you can feel more empowered during labour.ĭuring a natural labour you may find you spend time in the shower or bath (water is very good for relaxation), and during a c-section you might find your playlist and essential oils are helpful for relaxation. Regardless of whether you have a natural birth, some intervention or a c-section, you can create a relaxing and positive environment around yourself by preparing yourself with information about your birthing options, and by bringing your choice of music, aromatherapy, and positive affirmation cards.

The following lists for each of the three bags (labour, hospital stay and baby essentials) includes all the items you may want to take to the hospital with you. Make sure you check with your hospital on what hospital paperwork they need for birth - this may include your medicare card, your health care card (if you have one), your private health care card (if you have one), as well as maternal health records, your birth plan, your hospital pre-admission paperwork (if provided). You are likely to stay at the hospital for anywhere between 1 to 5 nights, so either take enough clothes and toiletries for 5 days for you and your baby, including pyjamas and nappies (if not provided by the hospital), or have a backup supply bag at home that hubby can bring in on day 2 or 3 for you.
Remember to include a bag to put your dirty laundry in!
