As a midwife, there is nothing worse! Read below 👇
There is nothing worse than seeing a partner or support person frantically rummaging around through a large suit case trying to find the one thing the woman wants or needs whilst in the throws of labour.
Reduce the mental of load of remembering where things are by getting organised.
Think compartments…
The Birthing Bag – a bag only with items to be used for labour/ birth + baby’s first outfit
The Shower Bag – containing toiletries + set of comfortable clothes (usually PJ’s)
The Hospital Bag – holding items for the duration of postnatal your stay. This bag stays in the car when your’e in labour as it is not required until after the birth
Handy tips – see ‘Other considerations’
And once home…
The Postpartum Caddy – to be stored in your bathroom with some postpartum essentials so your’e not re-filling/ searching for things after the 3am feed!
