When you’re stuck in the hospital, it can be hard to feel like yourself. You may find that the stress and discomfort of being there add up quickly. To help you out, we’ve come up with a list of some self-care ideas for you when you’re in the hospital, so you can heal quickly and calmly!

Alongside the essentials for mom, you’ll want to make sure you bring everything you’ll need for your little one with you to the hospital too! We’ve compiled a list of things to include in your hospital go-bag for you new baby as well as some items you’ll need on your way home. We’ll be honest—not everything on here will fit into a bag, but everything on this list is super important for the first hours and days of your little one’s life. To make it extra simple, we’ve even sorted it so that everything is in the order that you’ll need it! 🤱

Packing your hospital go-bag for labour is a key part of getting ready for birth! You’ll want to make sure your bag is packed full of the essentials to help make your experience go as smoothly as possible. We recommend packing your bag when you’re about 32-36 weeks pregnant so that you are ready just in case you have an early arrival! 😉 

Let’s be real: hospitals are a difficult place to be. They can feel sterile and isolating even in the best of times. Not to mention, hospital gowns are oversized and unflattering on everyone, which just makes worse, especially if you are normally fashion forward. If you find yourself as a fashionista stuck in the hospital or if you need a gift for your favourite fashionista who’s in the hospital, we have some perfect gift ideas for you!

When a mom-to-be is going into labour, there are a million things on her mind. Make life easier for her by getting her a gift that makes her hospital experience simpler and more comfortable! It’s a great way to show your support and congratulate her on her new baby!
