Packing your hospital bag and wondering what you actually need? In this fun and practical Coffee Chit Chat episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, Meg and Caitlin are sharing exactly what we packed in our hospital bags for labor and delivery — including what was helpful, what we’d bring again, and what you might be able to skip.
From baby essentials to postpartum recovery must-haves and labor comfort tools, we’re giving you a real-life look at the items that supported us during birth and those first hours after baby arrived.
Because let’s be honest — hospital bag checklists online can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to simplify it and help you feel more confident heading into birth.
What to Pack for Baby
- Newborn outfits and swaddles
- Diapers and feeding considerations
- What the hospital often provides vs what to bring yourself
What to Pack for Postpartum Recovery
- Comfortable clothes and nursing bras
- Peri bottle and recovery essentials
- Toiletries and personal comfort items
- Nutritious snacks
What to Pack for Labor Comfort
- Cozy items
- Music, lights, affirmations, and mindset tools
- Snacks and hydration support
- Tools that helped us feel calmer and more supported during labor
This episode is for first-time moms, seasoned moms, and anyone preparing for birth who wants practical advice without the fluff.
As a pregnancy personal trainer, birth doula, and perinatal nutritionist, we support moms through pregnancy and postpartum every day — but this episode is simply honest mom-to-mom guidance on preparing for one of the biggest days of your life.
Tune in for weekly episodes on pregnancy fitness, birth prep, postpartum recovery, motherhood wellness, and free resources for new moms to help you feel Vibrantly You®.
