Pregnancy Hospital Bag Checklist
Getting ready for the big day? Make sure you’ve got all the essentials packed up in your maternity bag. Fret not as we’ve made a checklist for what needs to be packed in your hospital bag for delivery.
No one can be completely certain about when your labor will start. Your best reference is the due date that was given by your healthcare provider. Don’t wait until your first contraction before you start gathering the things you’ll need. Use this checklist to make sure your maternity bag is all set for your baby’s arrival!
