Packing my hospital bag, when should I start?

Question

I'm almost 34 weeks pregnant, should I go ahead and pack my hospital bag just in case??? And what exactly do I need to pack lol, I'm a first time mom I have no idea what I'm doing 😂

Answer

37 weeks and babies is packed. Mine isn't because I barely have anything that fits me (I lose baby weight fast because it's all water retention) so everything I do have I have to keep out until it's time to go.

Answer

I packed mine already and I'm 34 weeks tomorrow :) Pinterest has some great ideas but you really really don't need a lot.. I just packed something to wear after birth and a going home outfit and some extra underwear, a nursing bra and toiletries that I may probably need and for baby I packed two different coming home outfits and a swaddle blanket and some socks and mittens and stuff haha.

Answer

I would pack your bags. I've been adding stuff to a bag since 20 weeks and then finished them around 31 weeks. I packed a bag for myself for labour and a bag for my husband. I also packed a bag for after delivery with my going home outfit and baby stuff. That way we didn't have to walk in with a bunch of bags and look like we were moving in. 
My bag has all my toiletries, pjs, undies, fuzzy socks, flip flops, toilet paper (because hospital stuff is horrible) and a towel.
Husbands bag has camera, iPad, charging cables, zip up hoodie (for skin to skin), sweats, a shirt, some toiletries and snacks!
Baby bag has swaddle blanket, hat, 2 onsies, going home outfit, wipes, hat and a bunch of other random things that I probably don't need but it makes me feel better having it☺️

Answer

I started mine around 32-34 weeks and just finished mine this past weekend (36.5) except for electronics and blanket. I had finals this week and didn't want to have to worry about that on top of everything else

Answer

It's really up to you. Not being prepared tends to stress me out so I packed with my husband last week when I was 34 weeks along. It's always good to have a small list on top of your bag too, to remind you to grab the items you can't pack right away. My friends baby was born 5 weeks early so it pushed me to pack mine LOL!! Definitely eased my mind a bit.

Now lol 37+5 and being induced unexpectedly for infant growth restriction. Never know what will happen at this stage. Best to be prepared.
