Your first birth can come with plenty of questions—including the simple ones: What should I bring?

Personal essentials
Technology and chargers
Doula comfort items

Birth preparation
Transportation and backup planning
Personal preparation
Post-birth follow-up
You'll also find a reminder that some of your most important tools can't be packed in a bag: presence, patience, listening, communication, boundaries, and knowing when to refer.
You're preparing for your first birth or want to create a more reliable system for preparing for on-call work.
Format: Downloadable PDF checklist
Level: Beginner / Early Practice
Adapt this checklist to your training, scope of practice, birth setting, and individual client agreements.
