Low Tox Things I'd Pack For a Hospital Birth

1. Your birth plan - print it out and give copies to the doctors, nurses, and even tape one to the door so anyone that comes in during your labor can easily see it! My pregnancy guide comes with a free birth plan template and it is on sale until baby #3 arrives!

   

2. Snacks - Here are some of my favorite options: grassfed beef sticks, string cheese, nuts, Skout bars, veggies, hummus

   
   

   

3. Electrolytes to keep you hydrated - My favorites are Buoy and Just Ingredients (code THEORGANIMAMA).

   
   

   

4. Homemade meals - we just made a big batch of soup beforehand and froze it in jars that we could heat up at the hospital to avoid hospital food. I have several delicious freezer friendly options including soups in my cookbook that are great nutrient dense options for after birth!
