When to start preparing a hospital bag???

Question

I'm 30 weeks and 2 days with baby #3 I kno I should have experience but every pregnancy is different....with baby #1 I was 18 and young and my mom prepared my bags for me and it was a bit of a blur for me to remember and my 2nd it was also a blur I don't even remember. I just want to be prepared!

Answer

I'm only 26 weeks, but I feel like packing my bag now. Any tips on what to pack?

Answer

I always thought I have time! I ended up going in labour at 24w! They managed to stop my labour but I had to stay 14 days in the hospital. It was so frustrating having to give a list to my husband with stuff I needed every day! I learned my lesson! Now my bag is done!

Answer

I'm 30 weeks today and started packing yesterday. This is my sixth baby and have always been completely ready by 32 weeks

Answer

I'm a teacher and I'm off the week of thanksgiving so I figure I'll pack my bag that week. I'll be 33+ weeks at that time. It's hard because there are so many last minute items that need to be put in. Trying to add those things while suffering through contractions was not fun with my first, but I'm not sure how else to do it unless I buy a bunch of extra stuff to sit in the bag while I continue using my other stuff. Ha

Answer

Had my bag ready for 36 weeks with my first and will do the same this time.

Answer

I dont plan on packing mine until im 32 weeks. And I'm actually planning on packing 2. One to leave in my car and one to leave at work. I suggest packing a nightgown, something comfty to wear home. Nursing pads, buy an extra phone charger to put in it. Comfortable underwear and possibly a book or something. You can also pack a hospital photo outfit for your little one and a coming home outfit as well. My hospital sends me home with diapers and wipes so I wont pack any to take with

Answer

I agree with above, 36 weeks!  This is my third and never packed it any earlier before. :)

Answer

I will pack my hospital bag after my baby shower which is at 32 weeks. If baby comes early we will both be hospitalized so my SO will have time to run home and gather some things we need.

Answer

I'm only 28 weeks but my bag is packed and baby seat is in my car. This is my third and doc thinks I can go at any time so I'm not taking chances.
