When to pack hospital bag?

Question

Ok ladies! 
I'll be 28 weeks on tuesday. (I realize it maybe to early right now) but when should I pack my hospital bag? And a good idea of all the things I'm going to need to bring? 
:)

Answer

This is my 5th pregnancy. With each delivery I have brought less and less.  Lol.  At this point I highly prefer to just wear the hospital gown and not my own clothes until the moment I leave the hospital.  Bras are soooooo annoying and tangly in a hospital bed. and unless you are there longer then 2 days your milk will not likely come in(longer if you had s cesection). Bring one, but don't be afraid to not wear one at all. (Unless you are huge and just need the support 😀)

I just bring my basic toiletries, a few makeup things for visitors but notmuch. My phone and charger.  Bring the charger with the longest cord, sometimes plugs are few and far between in s hospital room.  I use to bring books and magazines but now I just watch tv or sleep. I like to read but never once have I cracked open a book while in the hospital.  The baby doesn't even need clothes until you are ready to go home.  Not worth the effort to pack more then 1-2 outfits (in case they poop through the first one as you get ready to leave.

I bring maternity clothes to wear home.  I usually fit the clothes I wore at 16-24 weeks. Pregnant.  My hospital provides diapers so I use what they provide, even though I will be cloth diapering at home.  Not worth trying to store dirty diapers to wash at home later.  As for what you need for  labor that's a hard question, because my labor was short and now I do c-sections.

As for hubby, lol, after the first baby he pleaded with me to just let him go home and sleep. Hospital bed/couches are not very comfortable.

I'm also 28 weeks. Not packing mine for while, but I found this list on here before. May be a little much, but a good starting point. 😊

Answer

I'm 23 weeks with twins and I just started packing mine. I packed a robe, pjs, slippers, adult diapers for my c-section, a surprise gift for my hubby, a book, and some socks. I'll add more to it as I get further along and may actually use a list. This is my 3rd pregnancy so I don't think I usually take much to the hospital but trying to be more prepared since I'm having two. P.s. Babies might get their own bag and hubby will def have his own bag. 😋
