3rd Trimester

what kind of bag?

I'm getting ready to pack my hospital bag and was wondering what kind of bag I should put it in. At first I was thinking a large tote kind of thing, but then I thought it might be nice to have the smallest of our luggage set so I have a little more room and everything can all be together(including the video camera, regular camera and DH's stuff). What will you be using?

  • Big suitcase!!!  Took a tour of hospital the other day and they suggested I bring my own pillows, blankets and EVEN AN ICE CHEST WITH FOOD!

     

  • we have a large duffle bag from LL Bean that will fit everything and won't take up as much space as a suitcase might as it can be shoved places easier.?
  • suitcase with rollers!!  I don't want DH having to lug a big bag through the parking garage and all the way up to the room. 
  • I was thinking large tote too, but you bring up a good point.... however.. i will probably want my "personal" stuff separate from the things i will need to take out often(camera, wallet etc) so i may do 2 bags...oh wow!!! plus a diaper bag!! ima look like a crazy lady
  • We have a diaper bag for baby stuff (two outfits, different sizes), one for DH/snacks, one for me (backpack), and the video camera has it's own carrying case.

    FOUR bags. LOL. All are pretty small.

  • A smaller suitcase with rollers. I hope I can fit all of our stuff into it.
  • Ohhh.. I have no idea! Is it bad that I haven't really thought of any of this yet?

    I didn't pack or thing about doing it until I had to stay in L & D overnight, and didn't have anything with me. I packed it the next day when I got home. It was a good trial run :D

  • Haha I did my trial run a week ago... I grabbed stuff and tossed it into a bag on my way out the door. Had NO idea how long I'd be there for.

  • I will be using either my small suitcase with wheels or the duffel bag that came with my luggage that has wheels.  My husband isn't here so I am trying to make things as easy as I can for my friend and I.  The parking situation at the hospital is awful, we may have to park far away since technically there is no parking lot for the hospital.  I will also have my big camera bag that I am paranoid with so that won't go in the bag, video camera will get put in there but not my camera.  I threw the baby's stuff in the diaper bag.
