List for home birth necessities

Hi all, I wondered if anyone could suggest a list they used, of items needed for a home birth. I was planning a water birth originally but this may not be an option. Still open for things to add to said list incase 🙏 UK based if that helps.

I got so much and didn't end up using much at all 🤣 Bed pads - from boots but midwives ended up bringing inco pads so wouldn't necessarily have needed them) Towels - more than you'd expect if you're using water Birth Pool & "accessories" - I hired from homebirthsupplies.co.uk and really glad I did. Comes with everything you'll need so don't have to worry about forgetting bits. The one I hired came with an inflatable seat thing which I used whilst the pool was filling as I stopped finding the ball comfy with the pressure down there. TENS machine Antibac wipes (for after) Birth comb - I was surprised by how much I found this helped! Mats for the floor - especially if you've got wooden floors & you want to be on all fours without your knees breaking 🤣 they double up as a playmat for baby after. I also had shower curtains and blankets to cover the sofa but didn't end up needing them
