When Baby Comes Early: What to Do If You Haven’t Packed Your Hospital Bag Yet

Labour can be unpredictable, and sometimes baby makes an early appearance...before your hospital bag is packed. If that happens, take a deep breath and here's what to do:

1. Grab the Basics

Focus on these essentials:

• Maternity pads

• A clean nightdress

• Baby vest and babygrow

• Phone charger
  

2. Ask the Hospital What They Provide

Hospitals typically supply some nappies and maternity pads. A quick call can clarify what you don’t need to panic about for the birth itself.

3. Send a List to Someone You Trust

Your partner or family member can bring extra items later. Send them a photo or checklist so they know what to grab from home (see our own hospital bag checklist here).

4. Order a Pre-Packed Bag or Contents Bundle for Delivery

Ulluv offers quick dispatch, so you can have a fully packed maternity bag sent to your hospital or home—saving time and stress.
