The mama mio It's time! Hospital Kit is an adorably packaged set of personal care items for labor and birth. They are designed to relax your mind and body. A great baby shower gift. It's got a candle, two kinds of massage oil and a facial spritz. All the products are petrolatum and paraben free for your ease of mind.

2. Labor Ease by Earth Mama Angel Baby

This awesome kit has several items meant just for labor. There is lip balm with a bit of pick-me-up involved that helps to ease chapped and dry lips. This is something so many people forget in their labor bags. It also has a small hot sock to hit some of the more painful spots like the small of your back or pubic bone during labor. I love the stretch oil, it's good for all over including your perineum. And it even has a relaxing CD to help guide you through labor quietly. I highly recommend this product for your labor kit.

3. Lighten My Labor

The Lighten My Labor Comfort Kit is designed to provide relaxation and comfort producing products for your labor and birth experience. It is attractively packages and contains four products: Relax With Me Whipped Massage Gel, Breathe With Me Linen/Room Spray, Lift Me Cooling Body Mist and Restore Me After Baby Bath Tea. Some of these products smell better than others, but the whipped massage lotion was great and the after baby bath felt really good on aching skin.

4. Little Stork Birth Bag

The Little Stork Bag takes the guess work out of what to pack. This all inclusive bag really has everything you could ask for in a hospital bag from toiletries to a camera! They thought of everything...
