What do I actually need for labour? What about after? What does my partner pack? The hospital bag is one of the first things expecting mums ask me about, usually right around the time it all starts to feel very real.

This mini guide is the list we packed ourselves, split into labour and birth, postpartum recovery, and comfort and going home. It also covers what baby needs, a list for your partner, the documents to sort early, and a final sweep for the day you leave.

The Details

• 8-page PDF, instant download
• Read on your phone, tablet or computer, or print the checklists
• A quick read, made to tick off as you pack
• General information only, not medical advice

Who's it for

• Expecting mums from around 30 weeks
• First-time mums who aren't sure where to start
• Partners packing their own bag (yes, they need one too)

What's inside

• Labour and birth: what to keep within reach
• Postpartum and recovery essentials
• Comfort and going home
• Newborn essentials for baby
• Your partner's packed and ready list

Good to know

No, these guides are not medical advice. They are designed to share general information, practical checklists, and trackers built around current Australian parenting guidance and real-life motherhood experience. Every baby is different, so please always chat with your GP, midwife, or maternal child health nurse about your own little one.
