What to pack in a hospital bag
We'd recommend having your hospital bag ready at least two weeks before your due date – don't leave packing too late, in case your baby decides to make an early entrance.
Since you may have a lot of things on your mind at this stage, we've created a hospital bag checklist to help you plan what to take with you.
Another idea is to go through what you've packed with your birth partner, so they'll know exactly what you've packed when you go into hospital and they can easily get hold of what you need when you need it.
Download our hospital bag checklist to make sure there’s nothing you’ve forgotten.
