Im thinking should i make a start on my hospital bag ....

rachlouise25 · Mar 16th, 2010, 08:58 AM

im not sure weather to start my hospital bag or not

the reason being my second son was born by emergancy c section at 31 weeks and i had nothing there for him as i was in hospital for a month before ,i didnt think he would have turned up then and thought i had few weeks left in hospital before he would arrive .....

well this time im pregnant with a little girl and im so scared that this baby will make an appearance early

anyone whos had early babys has your second baby come early too?

and did you do your bags early just in case xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I think its a very good idea to have your bag done as soon as you start thinking about it.
I delayed mine until 34 weeks cos I couldn't get my arse in gear whilst working.
However, I ended up going in for a CTG the afternoon that I packed my bags....so was relieved that I had it just in case.

I really enjoyed packing mine up! Although when I went in the other day, I realised I didn;t have any going home clothes! so If i go in in my labour clothes...i'll be heading home naked!!!

I found ASDA have a special offer on black towels, bought two big ones for less than a tenner!

If you don't pack at least make a list so at least then someone could grab the stuff for you if you did go early

I say everyone should start at least by 30 weeks, just in case~

Well I am 30 weeks pregnant with my first, and I am already starting to think about packing my hospital bag! I am going to just add a few bits each day as it's always best to be prepared!
