Tick things off as they go in the bag. We’ll remember your ticks on this device.

  1. 1

    Pack early, and ask your hospital

    Have the bag packed and by the door well before your due date, so it’s one less thing to think about. Many hospitals and birthing units have their own list, so ask for it.

    Small things that make a long day feel a lot more like home.

Always check with your clinic sister, midwife or doctor if you’re worried.
