Checklist for Birth

Hey mama, these hospital bag checklists are designed to take the guesswork out of packing so you can feel calm, prepared, and supported for birth and early postpartum recovery—with one tailored for vaginal birth and one for C-section birth recovery.

Vaginal Birth Hospital Bag Guide

A supportive checklist for a 1–3 night stay after a vaginal birth.

Includes:

  • Labour essentials

  • Post-labour essentials

  • Feeding support

  • Postpartum nourishment

  • Baby essentials

Designed to keep your packing simple, clear, and intentional.

I recommend packing your labour essentials in a separate bag so your partner can easily take it home afterwards.
