Maternity bag

Completely Prepared for the Hospital

Are you pregnant and want to be perfectly prepared for your delivery? A well-packed hospital bag ensures you have all the essentials at hand when the big moment arrives. The birth bag is often called the hospital bag or emergency bag. As if you need to flee in a hurry or jump into a taxi like in the movies. Fortunately, reality is milder. But even if you’re planning a home birth, it’s nice to have everything together in one place. If you need to relocate during labor, you’ll have everything at hand. And if you stay home, the maternity nurse can easily find that carefully chosen newborn outfit (instead of that ugly gift you got from your great-aunt that was still lying somewhere in the dresser). This way, you can simply focus on the birth, your partner on you, and you won’t be too disturbed with questions like where are the hot water bottles, the muslin cloths, clothes for yourself, etc.

You’re probably well prepared for your baby’s arrival, but don’t forget yourself. You’re going to deliver a top performance. In the Netherlands, you can choose to give birth at home, in a birth center, or in the hospital. And although relatively many women in the Netherlands choose home birth, more and more women are also choosing hospital birth. Did you know: in the Netherlands, as many as 25% of women give birth at home? While women from other European countries almost all give birth in hospitals. Quite a lot!

Even if you haven’t planned to give birth in the hospital, it’s wise to pack a hospital bag in advance. This way you’re well prepared for when it really happens. Make sure your hospital bag is ready at least one month before your due date. This ensures you don’t have to pack everything at the last minute.

What is a Hospital Bag?

A hospital bag, also called a birth bag or maternity bag, is a practical bag in which you collect all the essential items you need during and after your delivery in the hospital. From comfortable clothing to baby clothes – everything you need for this special moment is neatly organized and ready. We have the perfect hospital bag in our collection. The bags are super soft, strong & washable. Handy to use as a hospital bag and afterwards for everyday use. To the health center, baby swimming, or just when you’re out and about. With kids out and about = too much stuff to carry! Everything fits in it for your baby & can be hung on the stroller. In neutral colors, it also looks great with dads. Must have for newborn parents. Love it!

The bag has lining as well as a zip pocket and thanks to the snap fasteners, the bag is easy to close.

The teddy cream diaper case is designed to always have an easy change of clothes at hand that you can take with you in a diaper bag or handbag. The teddy diaper case is suitable for taking baby wipes, diapers and other necessities.

These fixed shoulder straps are long enough to hang this teddy mom bag nicely on the stroller.

Of course, your mom bag won’t stay completely clean if you use it often. That’s why we made this mom bag so you can just wash it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big should a hospital bag be?
A medium-sized weekend bag or travel bag is usually sufficient. Too big is impractical, too small means not everything fits.

Can I use a regular bag?
Yes, but a special hospital bag has handy compartments and is specially designed for this purpose, which is much more practical.

Should I pack multiple bags?
One main bag is usually sufficient, but some parents pack a separate bag for the partner and for example use the diaper case to keep the birth outfit, romper, hat and socks together.
