Preparing for a homebirth doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. In fact, gathering your supplies can be a beautiful and grounding way to get ready for your baby’s arrival.
You don’t need a lot of fancy equipment. Just think comfort, cleanliness, and care — for both you and your baby. Here are some of the basics you’ll want to have on hand:
*Clean towels & washcloths
*Chux pads or absorbent bed pads
*Plastic sheets or shower curtains
*Muslin blankets
*Large bowl or container for the placenta
*Garbage bags for clean up
*Peri bottle for gentle cleaning after birth.
Remember, this is your space and your birth. Gathering supplies is not just about being ready, it’s about creating a space that feels safe, calm, and supportive as you bring your baby into the world.
