Why this checklist is different
Most hospital bag lists are written by bloggers. This one is written by a midwife.
I have been in the room. I have watched women arrive with bags full of things they will never touch โ and quietly wish someone had told them what they actually needed.
Every item is here for a reason. Every reason is clinical. I have included the things most lists forget โ and the things most lists include that you genuinely do not need.
Pack it by 36 weeks. Babies do not always wait for 40.
What's inside
Six sections. Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Every item has a clear clinical reason next to it. Not "pack this because." Pack this because โ and here is exactly why.
What women say
Hear from women who have worked with Emma
"This programme was more than a source of information โ it was a true guide throughout my entire pregnancy. Every stage was explained with patience and professionalism, giving me reassurance and peace of mind. What makes it truly special is Emma herself: warmth and unconditional support, available at any hour."
"I discovered Elythia at 34 weeks and by 38 weeks I already felt so much more prepared for birth. Emma is a midwife with years of experience who genuinely wants to help you understand how the system works. After a session with her, things become so much clearer."
"I had so many questions and nobody seemed to have time to answer them properly. Emma changed that completely. I felt genuinely looked after and informed for the first time in my pregnancy."
