Welcome to The Doula's Guide To... Podcast, season 1 episode 29 all about packing your birth bag. This is another solo episode I thought might be a handy little reminder of everything you need to take with you if you're choosing to birth in the hospital or the midwife led unit, I give you some handy tips for packing and then talk you through what I recommend taking and why.
