What's in My Birth Kit?

So most of you know that I plan to have a home waterbirth at my midwife's house. One of the things needed was a birth kit. And some of you  are probably wondering, "what is a birth kit?" It's basically the extra supplies you'll need for after the birth.

Every midwife has her own kind of birth kit and some even make you go and collect everything needed. In my case it was all together in one place with no searching involved. As I said, every midwife is different, but I'm aure all birth kits are very similar if not the same.

So here's what's in mine...

~ 20 Disposable underpads 23x24

~ 2 Depends style disposable undies (pretty sure they gave me 3 instead though. But I'll take it!)

~ 1 Peri bottle

~ 2 Mesh briefs

~ 3 Instant cold peri compresses

~ 1 Plastic sitz bath

~ 3 Syringe needles

~ 1 Quik heel lancet

~ 1 Herbal cord care

~ 1 Peri ease organic sitz herbs

~ 2 Newborn hats, stockinette

~ Adtemp 1 digital thermometer

~ 6 Alcohol prep pads

~ 4 Lubricating jelly

~ 1 Hydrogen peroxide

~ Bulb syringe

~ 1 Gauze

~ 1 Cord clamp

~ 8 gloves

Sorry, I had pictures of everything before but they got deleted and I don't have the kit on me now. :( so this list is all I got.
