Your hospital bag has the baby stuff sorted. Now sort yourself out.
Every nappy is packed. Every onesie is folded. The person doing all the actual work of giving birth? Still an afterthought on most hospital bag lists. This kit fixes that.

What Australian hospitals don't give you, and what you'll desperately wish you had
Australian maternity wards are well-equipped for birth. For the first hours after birth, the moment you get to the postnatal ward and start trying to recover while simultaneously caring for a newborn, the supplies are more limited. The hospital gown is functional. The mesh underwear is uncomfortable. The squirt bottle for perineal care is basic. And none of it comes in a bag that's ready before you go in.
The Frida Mom Hospital Labour & Delivery Kit is the answer to every item on every "what to pack for yourself" section of every Australian hospital bag list. One kit. Everything from the labour ward to the postnatal ward to the first week at home. A labour gown designed for skin-to-skin and breastfeeding access. Socks for the walking-the-halls stage of labour. The complete postpartum recovery regimen for the bathroom trips that follow.
Buy it at least four weeks before your due date. Pack it. Don't think about it again until you need it.
Put the gown on when you arrive at the hospital. Snap closures mean midwives can access monitoring equipment, you can breastfeed or do skin-to-skin immediately after birth.
Activate an ice pad with a bend and place it inside the disposable underwear. Pull on gently. Immediate cold relief from the very first postpartum moments.
Fill the peri bottle before you sit down. Place a cooling liner on your pad. Spray foam on top. This is the complete five-step perineal recovery protocol in one bathroom visit.
Set up the caddy on the toilet tank in your hospital room. Everything within arm's reach for every bathroom trip. The toiletry carry bag means all of this came in organised from your hospital bag, no hunting through a duffel bag at 3am.
Move the caddy to the toilet at home. Continue the peri bottle, liner, and foam routine at every pad change. Use the remaining underwear and ice pads through the first week. The kit gives you enough to cover the hospital stay and the first few days at home.

LABOUR & DELIVERY KIT — THIS PRODUCT
Everything in the Recovery Kit, plus a labour and delivery gown, socks, and toiletry carry bag. The complete package from arrival at the labour ward through to the first week at home. Best for: anyone packing a hospital bag who wants everything in one order.

The hospital gown. But make it actually work.
Australian hospitals provide a gown. It opens at the back, which is useful for epidural access and less useful for everything else. The Frida Mom Labour & Delivery Gown is designed for how labour and birth actually works, snap closures at the shoulders for quick monitoring access, full coverage at the back, and easy front opening for immediate skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding after birth.
Made from 100% viscose (bamboo-derived) soft, breathable, and significantly more comfortable than most hospital cotton gowns, particularly during the long and physical process of labour. One size fits XS to XL. Pockets for your phone, lip balm, and whatever else you need within reach during a very long day.
For every kind of birth. For every kind of recovery.
-
VAGINAL BIRTH RECOVERY
The full kit addresses every aspect of perineal recovery, cleansing with the peri bottle, cold relief with the ice pads, soothing with the foam and liners, and comfort with the disposable underwear. The complete protocol for the most common postpartum recovery scenario.
-
C-SECTION RECOVERY
The high-waist disposable underwear sits above the incision without pressure. The peri bottle, foam, and liners address postpartum bleeding and hygiene. The caddy keeps everything organised during a recovery that limits mobility significantly.
-
HOSPITAL BAG ESSENTIAL
Everything you need from the first postpartum bathroom trip is in this one kit. Pack it before your due date, you won't be thinking clearly enough to assemble this yourself in the days before or after birth.

BABY SHOWER OR REGISTRY GIFT
The most useful gift any expecting mum can receive and the one almost nobody puts on their registry because nobody told them they needed it. The person who gives this gift will be remembered fondly for years. Possibly forever.
Questions? We've got answers.
What's the difference between the Labour & Delivery Kit and the Postpartum Recovery Kit?
The Postpartum Recovery Kit contains the five-step postpartum recovery regimen, peri bottle, underwear, ice pads, cooling liners, healing foam, and caddy. The Labour & Delivery Kit contains everything in the Recovery Kit plus a labour and delivery gown, a pair of socks, and a toiletry carry bag for packing into your hospital bag. If you want one comprehensive order that covers labour and recovery, the Labour & Delivery Kit is the right choice.
When should I buy the kit, how far in advance?
Buy it at least four to six weeks before your due date, and pack it into your hospital bag immediately. Babies in Australia arrive an average of five days before their due date, and first labours can progress quickly once they start. Having the kit ready well in advance means it's one less thing to think about as your due date approaches. The worst-case scenario is buying it too early. There is no worst-case for being too prepared.
Is the kit suitable for a c-section?
The gown, socks, peri bottle, healing foam, and cooling liners are all suitable and useful for c-section recovery. Note that the underwear included is Regular cut, the waistband sits at the natural waist rather than above the incision line. If c-section recovery is your primary concern, we recommend also purchasing the Frida Mom High Waist Disposable Underwear separately, the high waistband is specifically designed to sit above a c-section incision without pressure on the scar.
Is this a good baby shower gift?
It's the best one. It's gift-ready packaged, covers items the person receiving it almost certainly hasn't thought of, and will be used from the very first day after birth. Most baby shower gifts are for the baby. This one is for the person who just gave birth and that distinction is something they will remember. It works equally well as a registry item or as a surprise gift from someone who's been through childbirth and knows what actually matters.
Does the gown fit during pregnancy or only for labour?
The gown is designed for labour and the immediate postpartum period, it's sized for birth, not pregnancy. It's one size and fits XS to XL based on post-birth body measurements. Pack it in your hospital bag rather than trying it on during pregnancy, it'll fit when you need it.
Will this kit cover my entire postpartum recovery or just the hospital stay?
The kit is designed to cover the hospital stay and the first few days at home, it's the starting point for postpartum recovery, not the complete supply. You'll likely need additional ice pads, underwear, and cooling liners for weeks two through four as healing continues. Every item in the kit is available separately so you can top up exactly what runs out without repurchasing the full kit.
