Did you already...

Pack your hospital bag? I have no idea why but I have been putting it off. I now have people yelling at me to get it packed and ready......am I the only "slacker"?

Re: Did you already...

  • Mine won't be packed until I'm in labor, or the night before my surgery if I don't go into labor before then.
  • Nope, for some reason I'm really not stressed about it. I figure I'll have enough time. I'm hoping to labor at home for a while before going to the hospital. These are probably my famous last words.

  • haha you're not alone!!! I am 37w4d and mine is not packed at all ;)  I kinda plan on packing it when I go into labor.  I only have a few items of clothes that fit me, so I'm wearing them until I need to bring them to the hospital!

  • Yes because in my brain I will drive myself to the hospital. DH will probably be at work and think it is a false alarm lol!
  • I did. But I wanted everything done before my husband left for his trip.

    No, and I won't be doing it for another 3 or 4 weeks. I made a list. That's sufficient for now.

  • I have not, but the tank tops I want to bring with me to the hospital, I still wear, I have underwear, and capris in the bag, with some toiletries, bu tI know I will do better if I pack running around the house, and honestly we live so close to the hospital (3 blocks) that if i forget anything, I am sure my hubby can run home and get it for me.  I guess I am just not to worried about it,

  • Not packed yet. I'll probably do it in a few weeks. I'm probably deluding myself here, but I'm just not ready for baby to be here yet, so I figure if the bag isn't packed.... 
  • LiLi23LiLi23 member

    Not even in the slightest. I started making a list of things I need to put in a bag, but I haven't even thought about gathering them and physically putting them in said bag.

    I'm only 34 weeks, though.  I don't think I packed mine last time until almost 38 weeks.  And I was still adding stuff the night before my induction bc I kept remembering things I forgot!

  • this... I'm normally a HUGE planner but for some reason this is the one thing I don't want to have ready. probably because we only live 15 from the hospital and getting things that I need/forgot won't be an issue
  • I have packed mine yet and have about 3 wks at most before baby girl comes. I need to get my butt in gear too.
    BabyFruit Ticker
  • Nope and I probably won't until I go into labor (or before getting induced if this one is anything like DD1).

    I might make a list at some point of what I want to remember to take, but packing my bag is so low on my list right now.  I think it's partially due to it being the 2nd time around and that DH will be going home to be with DD1, so if I don't bring something it's not a big deal at all.

    I haven't even thought about packing mine, but I'm only 34 weeks.  Even so, I won't pack until at least 37 weeks and probably after that.  I will have to pack DS too because he'll be staying with my parents while I'm in the hospital.  That will probably happen last minute too.

    Haven't packed one yet, I am pretty sure I packed mine the night before my indcuation when I had DS.  That being said, last night DH asked me to pack one ASAP, so I guess I ought to get on that...
  • I'm an oddball I guess, had mine ready at 26 weeks... Worry wart much? Lol
  • No, but I have DS's bag packed for his grandparents' house, and have the baby's stuff packed. I have a few things laid out for me but not packed yet. I plan to do it soon. I'm 2cm dilated already, which I KNOW logically means nothing, but it's still motivating me to get my a$$ in gear, which is something.

  • I've got some stuff in the bag. Things I won't need to use or wear between now and then. I do have a list of all the stuff I need though, so when I go into labor I'll just run down the list and check it all off.

  • No worries... I just packed mine yesterday at 37w1d.  Well... sorta.. I have several things I still need to add. And pretty much the only reason is because a friend of mine had her baby (we were due at the same time) and I know if I leave it until the last minute I will have a bunch of junk I don't need and will have forgotten everything I DO need.  I packed last minute for a vacation before and I ended up with 4 bathing suits and NO pants!

  • Nope, I have my toiletries all packed, but they are always packed in the small medicine bag we have.

    My brother got married over the weekend so I didn't want to pack the hospital bag until the wedding was over.  I took a lot of the same things with for the hotel that I'll be taking to the hospital. 

  • Not yet.  I made a list of the things I want to pick up at Target tonight, but even after that, it won't be ready yet...

  • Mine is not packed, but I printed a list and started setting things aside.

    I want to get it down this weekend though, because DH is going away for a business trip next week and will be a five hour plane ride away.   I also want to get the bases for the infant seat installed before he goes too.

    I hope nothing happens in the way of labor while he is gone, but with a toddler and working full time, I want to be as prepared as possible in case it does happen and he isn't here to help me get everything together.

  • Yep





    I'm not new. I just hate The Bump. 

  • Not packed... I just keep putting it off. I blame it on my husband carrying up the bag from the basement. I could do it... but I just haven't.

    This! List is made, bag is not packed, might make my hubby do it while I'm laboring at home with my doula.

  • Mine is mostly packed and sits on top of the dresser. I have all my toiletries in there with a few other items but will need to grab things like camera, phone, & chargers. I am more worried about vacuuming out my vehicle and raising the seat back up so we can install the carseat! Maybe that'll be my chore this afternoon....

  • I actually didn't pack it.

    After a small scare earlier in the week, my fianc? went into crazed mode and did everything we needed to do still in a day. Packed the bag, washed all the baby clothes, blankets, cloths, everything. Installed car seats. He's like THIS IS THE REAL DEAL.

    As I sat there going, it's all good we still have time.

    I'm such a procrastinator though, and pregnancy really only made it worse. All good though :D

  • I have baby's bag packed and then I have all of toiletries packed. (It was easy to pick some trial-size stuff from old Birchboxes and ipsy bags and supplement with a few things from Target.) My camera is in there, as well as some pads, makeup, etc. I also have a smaller bag that contains all of my medication. I won't pack clothes, etc. until I actually go into labor or when they tell me it's time.

    We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

  • Nope. No hurry. Packed baby bag but only because they out number me!
    Pregnancy Ticker
  • Mine is half packed, which I am thinking is almost worse than not packed at all!  I have a sense of "ready to go" but really all I have ready is random crap-nursing bra, a pair of undies, a couple magazines, socks and undies for DH and a couple outfit sleeper things for the baby.  I should finish tonight...

  • Not planning on pre-packing.  I use a lot of my "stuff" on a daily basis - makeup, camera, etc. 

    If I go into labor, I'll pack then.  If they decide to induce me, I'll pack then.  If I go to the doc and they say "any day now" and tell me I'm dilated and effaced ... maybe I'll think about it!

    Nope, I don't even have a bag yet!  However, I think I will still be okay for at least a few more weeks...
  • I'm a last minute packer and know I don't need much outside of my toiletry bag. I also need to pack overnight bag for DS but I figure with as crazy as our spring weather has been I would rather pack accordingly last minute than pack all the wrong stuff.

    Not worried about it at all.
  • I am a huge planner I have everything done and have for a long time but the hospital bag is just not done i don't know why I can't finish it mostly because I feel like I want to keep using some of the things that need to go in there
