Birth Supplies
Click on this link to purchase your consumable supplies for birth. I recommend purchasing the kit & beginning to gather items for your birth around 28-32 weeks. If you choose to purchase your own Passages Pool, you do not need to purchase the tub liner (please purchase a liner if you plan to use The Nest's birth pool).
​
​Other items needed for birth, such as towels, sheets, etc. can be found in Birth Supplies document in your chart.
03
Birth Photography
Many of the beautiful photos found on my site were captured & provided by Lili Wilson - Birth Photographer Check with her for availability for your birth or other special moments.
