Birth center birth?what to pack

Question

I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow and we're planning a birth center birth with a team of midwives.Aslong as I don't go into labor before 37weeks everything should go as planned.

Just curious if any other moms have had a birth center birth or are planning one.What should I pack in my "hospital bag"
After birth we can be there for 12hrs then we get to go home,aslong as me and baby are fine.

Answer

I'm doing a birth center birth too. Haven't thought about it much yet. Probably a robe, a top to labor in (hopefully I'll be in the tub most of the time) and a coming home outfit are the basics. A diaper bag. Some snacks (they have a kitchen) for my husband and mom. Comfy shoes to stand in (my crocs probably).

Answer

My midwife had us order a birth kit that included things like peri bottle diaper (for you) little hat. You also had th3 option to opt out of whatever you want3d to provide yourself. I wouldn't be surprised if your midwife brought that up with yoi.
I also brought change of clothes and I think two different outfits for baby(different sizes just in case) I brought water bottle. Snacks I didn't eat. Camera phone charger. 
You really don't need too much especially since with a midwife you'll likely go home same day

Answer

I was going to ask the midwife at my next appt. But I figured I'll need something to labor in, tank top or bathing suit top (water birth), clothes to change into to go home, toiletries because I'll want a shower before going home, pads/depends, few pairs of underwear just in case, slipper socks, flip flops for shower, snacks and food since I'll want to eat right after, change of clothes for SO just in case. For baby; two outfits, socks, blanket, diapers, hat.

Answer

I'm doing a birth center but haven't started a bag yet. I'm going to ask the midwife on one of my next visits about what to bring.
