Answer

I’m 39 weeks, and I haven’t packed a thing. I’ve got an outfit for me, and an outfit for babe. Small toiletries bag, and that’s all I plan on bringing. I didn’t pack until my water broke at 40w with my first. 😂

Answer

Nah, I packed on my way out the door. Bought everything ahead of time of course

Answer

I was so stubborn and adamant that I was having a home birth, when I had to give birth at the hospital suddenly for medical reasons, my husband was saying “I told you so” because he kept asking me to pack something just in case. He had to drive home after I gave birth, gather things and come back. Anyways, for my second I packed while I was in labour.  😅🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

We forgot to pack a bag for our first lol 😳 just walked out the door stuffing random things into our bag. Definitely don’t recommend

Answer

We got out a bag and cleaned the car seat.
That’s as far as we got 🤷‍♀️
35 weeks

Answer

You really should get on all that now. You really could go into labor at anytime and want to be ready

Answer

Definitely find a pediatrician as soon as possible. But make sure you don’t settle. You have to like them!

Answer

No. When to pack the hospital bag is all personal preference. I’m 27 weeks and packed already bc I have a history of premature birth and have had complications recently - otherwise I would wait until 36 weeks or so.

Answer

Usually the hospital provides everything for you (at least the one I was in did) you should call and ask just to make sure. They provided everything for my son and I only ended up using the going home outfit for him and for myself as well as a warm robe that I highly recommend because it might be the only thing that will help you feel comfortable. Good luck 😃👍🏼
