In this video I share with you what I actually used from my labour/delivery hospital bag. I overpacked so hopefully this will help you whittle down your packing to the essentials!
Note that I gave birth in an NHS hospital in the UK. If you are giving birth elsewhere I may have packed some things that you won't necessarily need - remember to check with your local hospital/ birthing centre to be sure of what they provide for you.
