Check your hospital's delivery package first
Before packing, speak with your hospital birth counsellor or maternity coordinator to find out what is already included in your delivery package — many hospitals provide diapers, wipes, basic baby clothing, sanitary pads, a hospital gown, and meals. Knowing this upfront helps you avoid overpacking and ensures you only bring what you actually need.

💡 Pro tip: Pack your bag in two layers — put labor and delivery items on top, and postpartum and going-home items underneath. That way you can access what you need at each stage without unpacking everything.

Hospital Bag — FAQs
Answers to common questions
Most doctors recommend having your bag packed and ready by 36 weeks. If you are carrying multiples or have had complications, aim for 32–34 weeks.
Most hospitals provide basics like diapers, wipes, a basic hospital gown, sanitary pads, and baby blankets. However, having your own preferred items (comfortable clothes, toiletries, snacks) makes a real difference to your comfort.
Pack 2–3 onesies plus the going-home outfit. Newborns can go through several outfits a day, but the hospital will have basic supplies if needed.
Yes — print 2–3 copies. Give one to your midwife or nurse at admission, keep one with your partner, and have a spare. Keep it to one page and discuss it with your OB before your due date.
Opt for easy-to-digest foods: granola bars, crackers, nuts, dried fruit, and energy chews. Pack enough for your partner too — labor can last many hours and hospital cafeterias have limited hours.
