The Hidden Key to Easier Labour: Why Your Hospital Bag System Matters

As you approach the big moment of meeting your baby, the mind can race: “Have I packed everything?”, “Where is that one item?”, “What if I forget something important?” What many mums-to-be don’t realise is that a well-organised hospital bag isn’t just about having the necessary items to hand - it’s also about feeling calm, prepared and empowered.

Enter a hospital bag system!

At Ulluv we offer solutions such as our NestPods – the world's first hospital bag packing pods, designed to bring order to what often becomes a chaotic moment. Rather than filling one large bag randomly, you divide your items into manageable, labelled compartments: e.g., Mom’s Musts, Baby’s Bits, Little Extras, Pads & Panties.

Why this matters:

  • When labour begins or recovery sets in, you don’t have mental bandwidth to rummage. A clear system means you find what you need fast.

  • Your partner or birth support person can easily locate items (phone charger, snacks, baby outfit) when asked.

  • It brings a psychological shift: you’re not just “packing”, you’re “preparing”. That subtle change helps you feel in control.

How to start:

  1. Choose your preferred NestPods (we have a Classic and a Premium version). 

  2. Pack the essentials in each pod first, then add comfort extras (lip balm, favourite snack, photo). Our "Packing Guide", which comes with each set of pods, does a break down between essentials and nice-to-haves, to help. 

  3. Place the bags by the door by week 34-36 so you’re ready!

In the midst of contractions or during hospital recovery, the last thing you want is to feel scattered. A thoughtful hospital bag system gives you the space to focus on what truly matters — meeting your baby!!
