Hospital bag
What to pack for labor and the first night in hospital.
labor · Best for: Third trimester
A hospital bag is a small kit for labor and the first night. Pack for you, the baby, and a support person. Keep it light. Our checklist tool can sit beside this page.
Our take
Pack light and early. A soft duffel you already own beats a branded hospital tote. Keep one outfit for you, one for baby, and a charger within reach.
Price note: Basic bags are often under $40; soft-sided duffels vary widely.
