Labour & Birth Essentials

Labour & Birth Essentials is your practical checklist of home birth and hospital bag must-haves from The Practical Birth & Baby Co.

Chosen for real labour rooms and birth spaces - home birth, midwife-led unit, hospital labour ward, water birth and freebirth set-ups. Use these to make a cosy home birth area, or pack them in your hospital bag for MLU, labour ward or caesarean birth prep.

Expect calm-space tools (flameless tealights, aroma diffuser, lavender oil), comfort kit (birth ball, eye mask) and hydration (large water bottle). Pair with digital support in Birth & Baby Support.
