When should I pack my hospital bag?

Question

I’m 32 weeks and will be 33 weeks on Saturday. When should I start packing my hospital bag? I’m due October 17th

Answer

Basics around 35 weeks, then I pack necessities (toiletries, phone charger, etc) when in labor

Answer

I did after my water broke 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Any time! I’m 35 weeks on Sunday and my bag has been mostly packed for a couple weeks. I have everything in there except for phone charger, makeup etc... things that I still need to use daily. No harm in being prepared ahead of time 🙂

Answer

Same due date ❤️ 
I’m packing by 35 weeks this time 
With my son I didn’t pack anything and literally had 20 mins to pack mine and babies stuff and get back to the hospital 
I do already have all of babies stuff picked out and laid out ready but nothing for myself yet

Answer

I finished packing my hospital bag by 35 weeks. It is seating next to our front door with 2 pillows and a blanket😅

Answer

I think now would be a good time! Or in a few weeks.

Answer

Now isn't unreasonably early to have it done, at least the basics. I packed all my basics around 35 weeks and then wrote a list of all the last minute things (phone charger, deodorant, etc) and left it on top of the bag... that way when it was go time I didn't have to do any thinking or scrambling. Just get what was on the list and go!

Answer

I got mine ready at 35/36 weeks. I only packed a small bag anyways. I didn’t pack unnecessary stuff

Answer

When I had my son I read have it packed at 36 weeks. Well my son came at 35 🤷🏻‍♀️ I was texting my husband a list as my coworker drove me to the hospital 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m gonna be ready at like 30 weeks next time.
