Hospital bag checklist

Free

Tick things off as you pack. Three sections cover the birthing parent, the baby and the birth partner, with blank lines for your own extras. Check your hospital or birth centre's own list too, as they vary.

  • 1 page
  • A4 and US Letter
  • Space for your own items

Printing tips

Print at 100% (“Actual size”), not “Fit to page”. Margins are at least half an inch, so home printers won't clip anything. Thicker matte paper or card works best for cards and wall art.
