a labor day must
A trip to the maternity ward is hardly a day at the spa.
With the Special Deliverease Essential Labor Comfort Kit in tow, you might
be (briefly) fooled. The pretty, portable satchel is packed with goodies to create a relaxing labor
experience. There's a hairbrush (to relieve stress during labor), refreshing breath mints (share them with
your partner and sidestep the
halitosis argument), lip balm, a cooling mist, foot massage cream and a
soothing CD (including Pachelbel's Canon and Mozart's Serenade in G Major). These
proven comfort techniques may not take the place of an epidural, but they'll
definitely take a bit of the sting out of the birthing experience.
$46, 877-635-4040; fortyweeks.com.

another special delivery
Too busy boiling bottles and decorating the nursery to pack a hospital bag?
Stash the Birth & Beyond Delivery Kit in the car and forget about it. Not much bigger than a box lunch (but way cuter), this handy kit
contains everything you'll need to get through those first few days. A butter-soft nursing gown, non-slip socks (perfect for slick
hospital floors), lip balm, nipple cream, luxurious shower essentials, a comfortable, stretchy headband, and a complete new baby
checklist. You may not feel ready, but at least you'll be prepared.
$66, 877-900-6990; blossomingbabes.com
