When to pack your Hospital bag?

Bournefree · Sep 3rd, 2009, 03:56 AM

Hi lovelies,

When is everyone packing there hospital bags?? I'm 28 wks - and haven't done anything about it yet.. haven't even bought any of the things like suits, and scratch mits etc?

I'm planning on having a home birth, but nether the less I will, pack a seperate bag to have all the stuff that I need to hand.. Just didn't think that I would be doing it just yet (am I still in denial? ;-)

I was planning on doing it around 34wks? Is this too late? I went to the mw yesterday and there is no mention of me being engaged.. if I was I think I would have my bags packed!

I've noticed that some of my fellow November Sparklers have their bags all ready, when are you getting ready?

I will start to pack mine in a couple of weeks I think. I usually do our monthly shop around pay day (15th) so will throw in some extra things like breast pads, maternity pads etc and get started on my bag!

I have nearly bought all the stuff that i need so will pack it within the next few weeks as i think the baby will come early

I will get mine sorted this month. Still need to buy my stuff for hospital. I have the things i need to take for the baby. I will feel better once its packed, and i can forget about it.

at the beginning of the pregnancy i planned to do bag about 30 weeks but now tht im almost at 30 weeks it might be a little later as i havent got everything yet.

I'm 32 weeks and will be waiting maybe another 2 weeks or so to pack my bag. I've got nothing in for it yet either, not for baby or for me - though I have started to gather together some toiletries!!!

My mum made a suggestion to me that I think is quite uselful which is to have an almost mini-toilet-bag in your bedside drawer with a damp facecloth and a toothbrush in it because sometimes you don't want to be hunting through your entire toilet bag if you just want to give your face a quick wipe!

I think I did mine around 36 weeks even though I had already been in to the hospital twice by that point.

I am still adding items to it now, even tho I'm in labour already and will be having the baby today or tomo. I sent my husband to work so he can pop over to mothercare on his lunch break to get me some nighties and the baby a blanket. Still have no nursing bras, thought I would have more time!
