While some items, such as your birth plan and mobile phone, are absolutely essential, others, such as pillows from home or a water spray to cool you down, are just nice to have should you have room.
But if this is your first baby, you may be unsure about exactly what your pregnancy bag should contain. That's why we've created our definitive hospital bag checklist.
Use the thumb up and down voting buttons to send your favourites to the top of the list or vote down the kit you don't need.
Print it and then tick off the items while you pack. And don't worry if there's something you've forgotten as many of the items on our hospital checklist are available to buy on our site. So read on to find the baby bag hospital items no labouring lady should leave home without.
Help others by voting on your favourites or let us know if there's something you think we've missed.
