Hospital Bag Mini Guide
$3.95
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.

Yes, absolutely. The guides are delivered as phone-friendly PDFs that open perfectly on any smartphone, tablet, or computer. They are designed with zero fluff so you can easily skim through the checklists and trackers while holding your baby or during a 2:00 AM feed. If you prefer a physical copy, the pages are beautifully formatted to print out perfectly for your fridge or nursery.
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.

You'll get 20% off any two guides, 25% off three guides, or 30% off four or more. If you want total peace of mind for the whole year ahead, The First Year Roadmap includes all ten guides for the absolute best value.
