Items for Your Labor, Delivery, and Hospital Stay

During your pregnancy, pack portable items you’ll need for your labor and delivery and hospital stay in a bag and keep it in a handy place or in your car. For your trip to the hospital you’ll need:



  • Your partner/labor coach



  • A bathrobe and nightgown



  • Toiletries



  • Sturdy underwear that you don’t mind soiling with blood



  • A change of clothes to wear home, including comfortable, roomy shoes



  • Baby clothes



  • Infant car seat (your partner can bring this item on the day of discharge)



  • Sanitary napkins (if you don’t want to use the archaic ones that most hospitals provide)



  • A camera



  • Video devices. Please check with your doctor or hospital first. Many facilities don’t permit filming.



  • Telephone numbers of family and friends you may want to call



  • Insurance information



  • Cellphone



  • Lollipops or hard candies



  • MP3/CD player, if you want



  • Change for parking or vending machines
