About this episode
Most hospital bag lists are overpacked with things you'll never open. This episode breaks down what's truly worth bringing and organized in helpful categories!
In this episode, we cover:
- What you need for labor (and what hospitals already provide)
- Creating a physiologic birth environment: lighting, sound, scent, and comfort
- Coping tools that support labor, and why a doula is worth considering
- What you need for postpartum recovery, baby, and your support person in the first day or two after birth
- Paperwork and documents to have ready
- What to leave at home (aka things you do not actually need)
