Are you curious what you need to birth at home?

Everything here is what I have for my home birth/free birth! The only thing I don’t have pictured is big towels, receiving blankets, and a baby scale!

I’m 38 weeks now and so excited to finally have all my supplies and have them organized!

Items I have and what they’re for-

Gallon ziplock bags: I will use this to store my placenta.

Black trash bags: to throw away all the under pads and any other trash.

Hydrogen peroxide: gets out blood incase any gets on rugs/carpet.

Measuring tape: measure babies head and length.

Cord clamp: to clamp the umbilical cord.

Bulb: I have this as a just incase if baby is having trouble crying after birth.

Cord cutter/scissors: to cut the umbilical cord.

Overnight and large pads: I will use these after the first few days when bleeding slows down.

Period underwear: I like these when I’m still bleeding more but not as heavy and right after birth.

Extra long pads: I will use these with the mesh underwear right after birth when bleeding is heaviest.

Mesh underwear: as a comfortable underwear option that I can throw away in the first few days.

Peri bottle: I use this after going to the bathroom for the first weeks when you don’t want to wipe.

Waterproof sheets: this is to lay down on the carpet and rugs or bed underneath the pads as extra protection.

Under pads: to lay down where I will be pushing or to follow me around if my water breaks.

Preparing for a home birth involves planning, organization, and a list of essential supplies to ensure safety and comfort. When expecting a home birth, gather items like waterproof sheets, under pads, and large, absorbent pads to provide protection during labor and postpartum recovery. Ensure you have a peri bottle for gentle cleaning after using the restroom, as well as mesh underwear for convenience in the early days after birth. Also consider having both black trash bags and gallon zip lock bags on hand: black bags for disposables, and zip lock bags to safely store items like your placenta post-birth. A cord clamp and scissors are vital for cutting the umbilical cord, while a measuring tape will help you track your baby's growth measurements. Hydrogen peroxide is also an important item in cleaning up any unexpected messes. Lastly, don't forget a bulb syringe to help encourage your newborn to cry right after birth, ensuring they take their first breath successfully. With these preparations, you can create a serene and supportive environment, making your home birth a memorable experience. Each item serves a distinct purpose, contributing to a smooth birthing experience and facilitating postpartum recovery. Enjoy the journey of bringing your baby into the world in the comfort of your home.
