WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY DELIVERY?
Preparing your maternity bag requires special attention to ensure that you have everything you need, while avoiding overloading yourself with unnecessary baggage. We are fully aware of this delicate equation, as we are all expectant mothers who share these same concerns!
It is precisely to meet this need that our team has meticulously developed a list of essential items for childbirth, based on our own experiences. We have personally tested and approved each product that we recommend, and most of them are available on our website.
So, all you have to do is focus on each stage of your delivery with complete peace of mind, while fully enjoying this experience. We wish you a delivery filled with happiness and gentleness!
