When did you start packing your diaper bag and getting baby stuff ready?

Question

I’m 34 weeks. We just had our baby shower and I’m obviously dying to put everything up and away and pack our bag for her arrival. But I don’t wanna do it too soon. When did you mommas get their bed and bag ready? Also what did you pack to take to the hospital with you. 
I figured I’d start now. I went into labor with my son at 38 weeks and with this baby who knows. Better to be prepared! Lol

Answer

I packed my baby's bag at around 28 weeks, I have not yet packed mine as most of my comfy clothes that fit I wear daily so no point packing can do that last minute. I also had her room and everything organised since about 30 weeks 
It's never too early

Answer

They didn’t think I’d make it to full term so we had ours packed at 34 ish weeks. We went above and beyond term though 🙃🙃

Answer

I had my first baby at 35 weeks and was so not prepared , my mom had to run to the shops from the hospital for everything ...so this time I packed weeks before just to be on the safer side

Answer

I started packing mine once I got all the clothes washed and stuff put away and organized from our shower. That way I knew exactly what all I had or still needed and was able to pack my bag easily cuz everything was organized and put away

Answer

I just finished packing her diaper bag and I'm 34 weeks 2 days. You won't need diapers because the hospital typically provides that and wipes. my first was very small 5.15lbs and newborn clothes swallowed him. I packed 2 preemie onesies and a gown and 2 newborn onesies and a pair of pants. I have a couple of bows, pair of socks, swaddle blanket and a very light weight blanket. I also packed her shampoo and body wash that I prefer to use and a boppy pillow to help with breastfeeding. 😊 for me I'll pack a loose fitting gown (getting my tubes tied), my maternity leggings, loose t shirt, shampoo and conditioner and body wash. a pillow and small blanket, house shoes. my hospital does provide a lot of these things but I don't care for them haha.

Answer

I put my bag together at 35 weeks. I got the nursery organized and away around 33 weeks, when my baby shower was. My first baby was born at 36 weeks and I hadn't done a thing because I was worried about doing it too early, I did not want to be in that boat this tome around. I say if you're feeling it's than go ahead and organize everything now. Take advantage of the nesting :)

Answer

I started around 32-34 weeks probably, little by little.  Still not ‘done’ at 37w but have a great list and know what I need to grab last minute.

Answer

A lot of things need to be packed last minute, but baby things can be packed much earlier. And usually if it’s your first you have time to pack last minute things once you go into labor. When my water broke with my first, I took a shower and I packed up all my last minute things and didn’t leave to go to the hospital for over an hour. Just pretty much took my time because I knew I wasn’t in active labor and my contractions were really mild.
