Moms to be
Prenatal classes & Pain management
Women have been giving birth since the beginning of time... But we believe that it is better to live fully your labor rather than just suffer through it. Be prepared, know what to expect so that you will be confident and find sweet moments to connect with your partner through it all. Involve your partner. Free local prenatal classes are available at your CLSC or online. We also highly recommend pain management classes and rehearsal.

3 in 1 belly support and wrap
We highly recommend the 3 in 1 ab wrap from Bellies.inc. Also comes with some exercise book pre and postpartum. We understand its not at a price point for everyone and so we also recommend a simple belly support wrap from amazon. (tested and loved)

Belly cream
We are actually debating on the subject of belly cream - as each woman react differently. Consensus on this Altitude stretch mark cream but also want to bring forward natural oils, like Coconut oil, Aloe verra, and others.

Disposable cute Overnight Underwear
Any kind of disposable underwear is fine, we liked this one the most.

Hospital gown
Why not look cute on one of the most important day of your life. Any cute gowns are great but we like this one because it's easily detachable for emergency and offers easy access for breastfeeding and skin to skin with baby. Also check out *family matching outfits* from Baby be mine.

Socks & flip flops
Keep your feet warm and why not add a touch of humor to it. We really enjoyed these comfy socks but also recommend any types of flip flops - especially if you intend to go in and out of a bath during labor.

Here are our favorite breastfeeding bras - pumping bras recommendations will be in the feeding section.

Reusable toiletries
You will be staying at the hospital at least a couple of nights, so don't forget to pack your toiletries. Including toothbrush and favorite creams and soaps. We like reusable kits like these ones because you can easily fill them with your favorite products and reuse them on vacay. |Amazon| and other vendors
Battery pack & Charger
Don't forget your charger! And a battery pack, just in case!
