Birth suitcase
Introduction
Packing your birth bag is undoubtedly one of the most exciting moments for any future mother.
When this wonderful parenthesis is mentioned, however, it is equally important to dwell on what to put inside, on the best time to start and, for example, on the difference between a suitcase for a natural birth and a suitcase in the case of a cesarean.
If these questions are crowding your mind, the article in the next lines will give you the answers!

Birthing bag, a special ally of the future mother
As specified by Maria Chiara Alvisi, an independent midwife since 2013, in this video , the birth bag is nothing other than the ally that allows the future mother to carry with her all the everyday objects required in the days before and after the arrival of the baby in the world.
Its content, as mentioned in the previous lines, can change. The main discriminant is the place where you choose to give birth.
When to start preparation
Packing the hospital bag is a worry for all future mothers: some look at how their friends have moved and others, instead, follow their own pace.
Basically, it is advisable to have it ready for the last weeks of pregnancy , without getting caught up in haste and anxiety.
In many cases, when you start preparing your birth bag , you may think, “Okay, the birth is far away.”
Don't be fooled: it can happen that the pregnancy ends early and, let's be clear, arriving at the beginning of labor and close to the birth without the bag ready can be problematic to say the least!
