65- What to Pack for Birth—Hospital, Birth Center & Homebirth Essentials

Let’s be real—packing for birth can feel like prepping for a mystery trip. The stakes are high, the snacks are non-negotiable, and somehow, you can’t remember if you need a charger or a snack first. Whether you’re heading to the hospital, a birth center, or staying home to bring your baby into your sacred space, this episode is all about cutting through the chaos and getting down to what really matters.

I’m sharing the real-deal essentials for you, your baby, and your support team—plus a few of those little extras that make a huge difference come birth day. No fluff. No overwhelm. Just what you actually need, mama.

Here’s what you’ll get:

🔹 What to pack for your birth (hint: it’s not just for you)

🔹 The must-have items for your baby’s first moments (and what’s optional)

🔹 What to bring for your support person (they need love too!)

🔹 Extra touches that’ll make your birth experience more comfortable (we’re talking comfort, not chaos)

And because I know your brain already has 47 tabs open, I’ve created a free downloadable checklist to go along with this episode. It’s organized, simple, and ready for you in the show notes—because you deserve one less thing to stress about.

So grab your water bottle (with the straw lid, obviously), hit play, and let’s pack that birth bag with confidence.
