If you’re in Basel and wondering how to pack your hospital bag for giving birth, I hope this list helps you feel organized, prepared, and reassured.

the second trimester of both my pregnancies has been a mix of surprises, challenges, and little moments of magic. It wasn’t always the “golden period” people talk about. Some days were exhausting, some painful, some just plain overwhelming, but it was also a time of growth, learning, and preparing for the next chapter of our lives.

A heartfelt look into a Mother’s Day giveaway maternity session in a Mediterranean-style daylight studio in Liestal, just outside Basel — featuring natural light, soft styling, and a full experience including hair, makeup, and timeless moments captured in a serene indoor setting.

Pregnancy is a deeply personal journey, and navigating it as an expat can feel especially overwhelming at times. I hope sharing my own experience — the lessons, the mistakes, and the things I’ve done differently the second time around — helps you feel a little more prepared and a lot less alone.
