Answer

I'm 30 weeks and I've been told to start packing and getting the car seat ready at week 35 !

Answer

Due Feb 3 with 2nd baby and most likely going to pack after Christmas or New Years.. Especially if you're having a smooth healthy pregnancy... If you're high risk, I would suggest to start now in case you end up delivering early

Answer

I'm 28weeks & 5 days && I go to a baby class & my homework assignment was to pack my hospital bag so I did. Although the it's probably will change but it's best to have it all ready to go by week 35-36 to have with you at all timez

Answer

I've had my bags packed since Week 35. I wanted to get them done early incase baby #2 decided to make a semi early appearance like his sister.

The hospital will provide just about everything you need (find out what yours will supplies if you wish to pack light), but after my first experience, I prefer to pack my own stuff.

Hospital bag:

-3x non slip/skid socks. (I learned from my first when I was in labor, hospital floors are super slippery!) 
-2x Comfy socks
-Super comfy strapless bra
-2x Nursing bras
-2x Nursing Cami's
-Nursing butter
-Comfortable clog slippers (to walk around in) 
-2x Yogas (one for after delivery and another for going home)
- Long sleeve shirt (for going home)
-Comfy oversized sweater 
-Chapstick 
-Hairties/hairclips
-Hair brush
-Nursing pads
-Always overnight pads (the hospital will provide these, but theirs are huge and uncomfortable for me) 
-Extra phone charger
-Makeup bag (so I can feel like a real human being after delivery and when family comes to visit) 
-New pack of white 100% cotton panties (for after delivery&during the day) 
-Depends (sexy right? Seriously though, nobody has time to make sure their pad stays in the right spot when your trying to sleep, and trust me, they move. HUGE lifesaver, I promise!)
-Travel sized tylenol (check with your dr/midwife first) 
-Travel sized first aid kit (you never know) 
-Travel sized toiletries(hospital provides these too, but I just prefer my own)- shampoo, conditioner, loofa, body wash, body lotion, tooth paste, toothbrush, cotton balls, face wash (noxzema&st.ives apricot scrub), and ponds moisturizer
-My own towel (hospital towels are really small, thin&scratchy) 
-Extra blanket (I'm just always cold) 
-Dermaplast spray (spray before and after using the bathroom after delivery. You'll be so happy that you did. The first few trips are painful!)
-Prep-h
-Snacks
-Magazines

I found a great checklist on pinterest

Answer

I had the baby's bag/stuff packed first and early and I literally packed my stuff (since most of it could not be packed until the last minute) when I was in labor. I even took a shower before we headed to the hospital. You usually have time especially with your first, but everyone's different.

Answer

I had bleeding at 11 weeks and pain since early on so I packed it at 20 weeks, minus my and her coming outfits
