Packing your hospital bag
Packing your hospital bag marks an exciting time in your pregnancy. It’s a good idea to have it ready two weeks before your due date – just in case your baby makes an early appearance. If you’re not sure what to take with you, watch our video. Remember to show your birth partner what you’ve packed too, so they know where to find things in a hurry. To ensure you’ve got everything you’ll need, see our list of hospital bag must-haves, recommended by midwives, pregnancy advisors and mum bloggers.
