I’m giving birth naturally in two months and have been doing some research and haven’t quite found the perfect list for a natural birth/natural mama birth-center bag. I’ve posted what I’ve come up with for my list below. If you have any suggestions or think I’m forgetting something, please comment below. I don’t want to miss a thing!

Here is what I plan to bring so far:

1. Cotton onesie

2. Cotton sleep & play with fold-over mittens and footies

3. Newborn diapers

4. Natural wet wipes

5. Cotton swaddle blanket

6. Swim trunks for dad

7. A comfy change of clothes for both parents

8. Slip-resistant socks for mama

9. Nursing sports bra or Bikini top

10. Fully charged and stocked music device or portable speaker

11. Birthing ball

12. Essential oils such as lavender or other blends you prefer

13. Heavy overnight pads to wear on the way home

14. Protein drinks

15. Favorite healthy snacks

16. Water bottle

17. Two healthy frozen instant meals to put in birth center freezer

18. Phone charger

19. Car seat already installed & carrier

20. A day & night or two worth of any prescription pills and vitamins needed

21. Prescription glasses

22. Nipple ointment for after feeding

23. Birth plan just in case going to the hospital is needed

24. Insurance card and ID

25. Chapstick

26. Hair ties

27. Tennis ball or muscle roller
