Discover our carefully curated list of Legoe hospital essentials to decrease the stress of packing your hospital bag and compliment a beautiful birthing experience with pieces that provide comfort and style throughout.
Comfortable, practical, warm and stylish
Hormones can play an unpredictable role in your temperature pre and post labour, making it important to choose items that can be layered. Pieces that are easy to take off and place back on, whilst being comfortable to wear. Where comfort meets style, curate your hospital outfits with this in mind.
Product Recommendation:

From top to bottom
The birthing experience is unique to each individual however, levels of discomfort will present to all and it is important to prepare for this. From breast-feeding, tender bellies, and everything in between, wearing clothes that are soft and offer an element of elevation to help you feel your best will be necessary for your hospital bag.
