Hospital bag?

Question

Hi girls, At how many weeks did you guys started preparing your hospital bags ?

Answer

While I was in labor. 😂 My 2 year old was stuffing goldfish in my purse so I could snack while his sister joined us. 😂

Answer

This is my 1st but I plan on packing in the next week (I’ll be 32wks) mainly because our hospitals current policy is one person of support and once we are there they can not leave for anything. So to be on the safe side I plan on having ours packed early.

Answer

I did mine at 36 weeks with my first. Read up on what to pack, as I know that way overpacked last time. The hospital will provide most of what you and baby need. Take advantage of their supplies and save yours for when you go home! 
This time, I’m pretty much just bringing a robe, a pair of loose pajama pants, nursing tanks, a comfy outfit to wear home, a couple outfits for baby, scratch mittens,?chapstick, face wipes, phone charger, and my toothbrush/toothpaste, deodorant, hair brush, and snacks. 
The hospital gave me mesh undies, pads, pedi bottle, shower stuff, hair ties and a headband, water bottle, non-slip socks, breast pads, postpartum band, blanket for baby, sleep sack, and onesies. 
I brought so many things I never used because they were either provided for me or my priorities changed (ex: forget about wearing make-up, fixing hair, etc). I had to stay for 4 days because of an emergency c-section and I literally just lived in my mesh panties, robe, and a nursing tank. It was comfortable, easy on my incision and for doctors checking it constantly, and I was able to nurse without having to lift my shirt at all (definitely a plus after a c-section). I think I showered once or maybe twice at most? It hurt so much to move that the most I managed was brushing my teeth and putting on deodorant most days. 
Even for nursing, I’m not bringing my Boppy pillow this time. It’s easier to just use the extra hospital pillows rather than hauling another big item. 
My biggest suggestion is to make sure that the clothes you bring are loose and can sit higher on your stomach. I thought my sweatpants would be fine because they were baggy, but the waist band rested right across my incision which did not work. I hadn’t planned on a c-section, so I wish I had been more prepared. 😕

Usually when I'm in labor. Lol I basically just pack a quick overnight bag. Grab all my bathroom stuff like makeup, toothbrush/paste, hair brush & deodorant. Throw some leggings ,undies, socks & a shirt in there. The babys coming home outfit & done. Oh & my phone charger.

Answer

37 weeks. It’s my 3rd child and I don’t have a history of having them early

Answer

With both pregnancies I made a list around 35 weeks. I had a bag in my closet and I put a few things in there when I washed them, or thought about them. I didn’t actually pack (more than those few things) until I was in labor and ready for the hospital. I packed light and had my list so everything went together quickly and without stress. I’m 38+1 and haven’t packed yet.

Answer

36 weeks just packed bag for baby. I am going on 37 weeks and still have to pack for myself
