Hospital bag?

Question

1st time mom. Im 27weeks. My due date is DEC 15th. I praise God that I haven't had any complications so far. But I am so anxious to pack my hospital bag. I am pretty sure my anxiety is stemming from me nesting lol. But Im just wondering if you ladies can share with me when would be a decent time for me to pack my hospital bag and some things you recommend I pack?

Thanks so much. 😊

Answer

The baby doesn't need anything for the hospital other than a car seat & outfit to go home in. Pack 2 changes of clothes for yourself and your SO, magazines or cards to pass time, toiletries. Hospital has the rest.

Answer

I'm 26 weeks and I just started packing mine. I've got makeup and toiletries that I want and then a couple outfits for the baby and some blankets and a hat for coming home. I really recommend slippers for walking around on the gross hospital floor and a premie size onesie just in case. the hospital has most stuff for you, don't overthink it too much.

Answer

I'm going to start packing now (28 weeks) because you never know what might happen.

Answer

They say you should pack once you are in your 3rd trimester just to be ready just in case. So start now.

I started packing mine at 29 weeks. Just cause I work and sleep a lot. Do it whenever you want, start early and you can perfect it :)
