🌸 Before Your Due Date
Getting Ready to Deliver at a Austin-area hospital
Things worth sorting out in your third trimester. We don't collect your details; each link goes straight to the provider.
Breast pump through insurance
Most private health plans must cover a breast pump. Check which pump your plan covers and have it shipped before your due date.
Baby registry
Build one registry for everything, including your hospital bag items. Many registries add a welcome box or completion discount.
Hospital bag essentials
Battery LED candles, a labor gown, a clip-on fan, long phone cable. See our list of what you can bring to Labor & Delivery.
Cord blood: bank or donate
Private banking needs a kit from the bank in your hospital bag. Public donation is free but only offered at some hospitals. Decide by your third trimester.
Find a birth doula
Ask any doula you interview whether they have attended births at your hospital and how it handles doulas and visitors.
Childbirth classes
Many hospitals run their own classes; online courses work if the dates don’t fit. Aim to finish by 36 weeks.
