Having Your Baby at Home
If you want to have your baby at home, talk to your midwife. They will help you get ready and tell you what you need.
You should also make sure you have transport ready, just in case you need to go to the hospital.
What You Need:
- Clean towels and bed sheets
- Clothes and other things for your baby
- At least two packs of maternity pads
- A hospital bag with important things, just in case you need to go in
Your midwife will tell you more and help you feel ready.
Get in contact
If you have any urgent health concerns, think you are in labour, or are worried about your baby’s movements, please contact us at any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
