Home Birth Kit

My home birth kit just arrived in the mail today! How exciting - that means the time is drawing nearer!

My midwife gave me a list of supplies we needed to order for our home birth. She uses a home birth supply company called In His Hands, and she has an account set up with them so they know exactly what her clients need in their kit. I just had to get online or call and place my order. The kit cost a total of about $60.

The midwife will bring things such as a doppler to listen to the baby's heart beat, and I think she brings and oxygen tank, as well, for emergencies. She also brings a sling scale to weigh the baby - I love these!

You can't see it in the picture, but there is a spring scale hooked to the sling. How cute is that!
