What are some items/tools I can bring for my natural birth?

Question

So far I’d really like a wooden labor comb and a tube sock with tennis balls! My hospital last time had no balls or peanut balls available so I’m trying to do the best I can. I really wanted a water labor but hospitals around me don’t offer that so I’m going to see if I can at least step into the shower.

Answer

I brought my CD player, headphones, essential oils, essential massage oils, my own pillow and  blanket. I also brought my own clothes, I ended up only wearing my bra through most my labor which was so much more comfortable than a hospital gown. 
I used my breathing techniques from hypnobirthing. I used a birthing ball most the time and changed positions multiple times. I had my doula, my husband and my mom in the room. Each one of them offered me different things that I needed during labor. It was a great experience that I am so thankful for.

Answer

My midwife suggested I buy a tens machine, everyone sweara by it in the UK. I haven't tried jt yet but the amazon reviews were amazing. Just make sure you get the pregnancy one.

Answer

Would you be willing to use a tens machine? I brought my own essential oil electric diffuser as well/ was lovely!

Answer

Hypnobirthing! It's gotten me through 2 homebirths. I also have labored/delivered in the water and found that helpful but relaxation is key and I got that through hypnobirthing.
