Your Hospital bag Checklist

Packing your hospital bag is one of those little milestones that can feel surprisingly emotional. It’s not just about ticking things off a list β€” it’s often a moment when things start to feel very real. For some, it brings excitement; for others, a bit of nervous energy. However you feel, it’s completely normal.

Most people are told to have their bag packed by around 36 weeks, just in case baby arrives early. But some like to get it ready much sooner β€” and that’s absolutely fine. If having it packed early gives you peace of mind or helps you feel more prepared, go for it. There’s no right or wrong time.

It’s also totally normal to pack and repack it a few times. Maybe you’ll change your mind about what to take, or want to add little comforts along the way. That’s part of the process too.

Whether you’re feeling super organised or taking things one step at a time, packing your hospital bag is a lovely reminder that you’re getting closer to meeting your baby β€” and that’s something really special.
