When do you pack the hospital bag?

Question

I will be 32 weeks tomorrow and I was wondering when I should begin packing my bag. It still seems too early though...

Answer

So I know I'm coocoo but I'm 14 weeks and I'm gathering things in a bag like toiletries, nursing pads, nipple cream, and nursing bras. I'll probably fully pack around 3rd trimester. I'm a planner and I don't think it's ever too early. Plus I get easily overwhelmed at the end of pregnancy.

Answer

I was 30 weeks when I packed my bags and literally I was going throu it every week putting things in and taking things out I wanted it to be perfect lol

Answer

As early as I can. I'm 33 weeks tomorrow and have had it mostly done for around 3 weeks (just need to add a toothbrush and toothpaste)

Answer

I'm almost 36 weeks and haven't packed mine 😩

Answer

I packed mine right at 35 weeks and just packed baby's at 36. I probably would have packed sooner, I've had my bags since 32 weeks but didn't have any thing to put in them until this passed weekend. :)

Answer

It is never to early! It is better to do it with time. I had no complications throughout my pregnancy and at 37 weeks had to be induced due to preeclampsia! I had not packed my bag and I literally forgot evrything hahaha my husband had to go back home the same day I was checked into the hospital b/c we just needed so many more things!

Answer

I'm 30w and packed mine right after baby shower. Just wanted to be prepared incase she comes early

Answer

Most important thing for me whenever I go to hospital for a stay is deodorant wipes (in case you can't get a shower / bath) and a bottle of squash / cordial as hospital water is always foul!

Answer

I started packing one early but that was because I was first admitted to the hospital at 24 weeks for threatened preterm labor and didn't have anything packed.   So from then on I had a bag packed and left it in the car during doctor appointments just in case.  I ended up being admitted twice more and having that bag was helpful!  I didn't start putting baby stuff in the bag until 35 weeks because before then the baby would be in the NICU if born.

Answer

I would say about 36 weeks. I advise that and yet I always find myself packing last minute bits when I am actually in labour 😂🤦🏻‍♀️
