When to pack for hospital stay?

Question

I am 33 weeks pregnant and I was woundering when did you pack your bag . Im thinking 35 weeks or so.

Answer 1

In my 8th month I was all packed and ready. My bag stayed by the front door all that time, I would dust it off when I did my dusting.LOL.

Answer 2

packed mine yesterday i was 35 weeks !!!  

Answer 3

I would pack my bag now. I went in for a regular checkup at 34 weeks and didnt leave the hospital until i had my baby a week later.  You never know what may happen and i suggest when you go for your checkup, throw your bag in the trunk.

Answer 4

i packed at 36 weeks

Answer 5

how exciting!!!

I packed my bags at 25 weeks because I wasnt too sure on the due date ... and I like to make sure I am completely ready ...

My suitcase and diaper bags are all packed and waiting for me in the trunk of my car ...

Do it as soon as you can ... and make sure you look up on line what to take so you are ready and you wont be worried because you forgot something important in the middle of the night when you are at the hospital ...

Good luck :)

Answer 6

I packed at about 36 weeks. Maybe two night gowns, slippers, a couple of pair of underpants (3-4).  A hair brush. toothbrush, toothpaste.  Clothes you want to bring the baby home in, unless someone will bring them too you. I went home in the clothes I came in.  If you are going to have visitors, you don't have to worry much about it, because they can bring you what you need.  Just make sure you have something comfortable to lie in bed in, and underpants.  If you are not going to be nursing, bring a tight bra, wearing a tight bra will help dry up the milk quick and help ruduce the pain from your engourged chest.  If you will be nursing, b ring a nursing bra.

Answer 8

Hi i wouls do it now. i didnt pack, was planning to at 35 weeks, and my little boy came at 31 weeks, my waters broke at 30 weeks and so i went into hospital then. it was awful having no clothes, and being in hospital for 2 months and having other people pick your clothes etc is not nice!

Answer 9

I packed at 32 weeks I was so afraid I would forget something. I added things to my bag in the weeks that followed, but the basics were ready to go at 32 weeks. It made me feel better to do it this way. Once the basics were packed I stopped worrying about it. Good luck and congratulations!
