Hospital Bag Checklist - Prepare for Baby's Arrival

When to Pack Your Hospital Bag

Most experts recommend packing your hospital bag between 34 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. This ensures you're ready in case of early labor, but not so early that you're packing items you might need daily.

What the Hospital Typically Provides

Hospitals typically provide diapers, wipes, basic receiving blankets, and sometimes a few onesies for your baby. For the mother, they usually offer hospital gowns, mesh underwear, and large sanitary pads. Don't hesitate to ask your hospital directly for a precise list, as offerings can vary.

Personalizing Your Bag with Comfort Items

Make your hospital stay more comfortable by bringing personal touches. Consider your favorite snacks, a comfort item like a special blanket, a specific scent (if allowed), or even a small photo of loved ones. Music playlists can also be a great distraction during labor and recovery.
