During your pregnancy, pack portable items you’re likely to need for your labour, birth and hospital stay in a bag and keep it in a handy place or in your car. For your trip to the hospital in Australia or New Zealand you need:
A camera and video camera (don’t forget your chargers)
Copy of your birth plan
Drinks — fruit juice, soup, tea or water
Face cloth — ideal to cool your neck and face
Health insurance information and Medicare card — Australia only
Hot pack/hot water bottle/wheat pack
Large T-shirt (much more comfortable than a hospital gown)
Light nourishing food for you and support people
Lip balm or lanolin
Lollies such as barley sugar
Massage oil — almond, olive or vegetable oil
Maternity pads and several pairs of underpants
Mobile phone and charger
Pillows (in case of a shortage or restriction)
Pregnancy hand-held record
Radio, CE or mp3 player, if you find music relaxing
Socks to warm cold feet
Swimmers for your partner to wear when assisting you under the shower or in the spa
