When did/will you pack your hospital bag?

Mama Angelina · July 2009

or at least the majority of the stuff (not items you use daily)?

kchoi · July 2009

i've been slowly starting to fill my suitcase. instead of having to pack daily items, i''ve bought trial size stuff so i can just toss it when i leave the hospital and don't have to scurry to if my water breaks again a month early.

t&dm · July 2009

I am so bad b/c I didn't do it until last week Embarrassed

DH said he was going to pack for me if I didn't get a move on, lol!

femmevilain · July 2009

I packed mine Tuesday night, but I think I went into nesting mode or something because all of a sudden I HAD to pack the bag!

Mrs_mam · July 2009

I packed mine at 36 weeks. I went to my Dr. appt. and she asked if I had my bag packed so I took that as a hint. I travel a lot for work so I already had travel size toiletries that I packed, don't want to forget the toothbrush! DH packed his last week.

penguingrrl · July 2009

I did it when I had false labor about a week ago. If it weren't for that I probably still would not have gotten around to it lol!

mrslsb · July 2009

Last week. I have a toiletries bag waiting by the sink to put the last minute daily items in.

FirefightersBride · July 2009

i just finished packing mine!

veggiechick120 · July 2009

most of it got packed this week. the rest will be last minute stuff

heidismith · July 2009

I have mine packed, Dh will have to put his own clothes in it before we go to the hospital though. I packed mine last week.

JennifernKevin4ever · July 2009

I am going to start packing at 36 or 37 weeks.

thatgirlang · July 2009

I packed mine after my water broke with DS. I'll try not to do it that late this time but I don't think I'll do it super early. I won't be packing that much and what I am packing I think I use all the time. If I forget something, DH can pick it up easily. I always feel like a slacker when I read these posts though. LOL

aroberts7106 · July 2009

I've had a few things in mine for a week or so now....I keep tossing things into it as I think of them. A lot of the things I can't put in yet though, as I use them every day. I feel very behind on this...like I have no idea what to put in it and I can't ever think straight about it!

sam19 · July 2009

Probably when I go into labor. I'm such a procrastinator.

kittykatlover · July 2009

I just did it (mostly) this morning. DH was annoying me about getting it done.

mamaofliam · July 2009

I have been pulling things aside as I think about it and putting them in the compartment under the bassinet. I won't actually pack until week 36 or 37 maybe farther along.

MattysGirl81 · July 2009

I've been slowly putting stuff in there since around 38 weeks.

This is me completely. I hadn't really intended on packing anything ahead of time. I think hearing that I've actually dilated a little kicked something in my brain to MAKE me pack, though. I literally didn't stop until I had everything I wanted in the bag, and worse, in there in a specific way! (And I'm NOT the OCD type! LOL)

rinny627 · July 2009

I'll be doing mine around 34 weeks. my cousin went into labor 6 weeks early and had NOTHING ready. So i'm going to pack extra early just in case.

thatgirlang · July 2009

Coming back to say that even though I packed my bag after my water broke, I didn't do it in a panic. I had PLENTY of time!

Mama Angelina · July 2009

K, I feel better now.

Some people have asked me if I'm packed and I haven't even started. It seems to be getting pushed to the end of my to-do list all the time. :P Everything else seems more fun and for some reason more urgent.

mariannerules · July 2009

I'll probabaly pack m ine early, I know i'm nuts. I told DH i wanted to do it the first week of Aug, he thought we should start already. He's worse then me

barlas4 · July 2009

I probley should pack this weekend.. But with no progress it seems silly to pack my bag. We are about 10/15 minutes from hospital, and I know what I am throwing in. And most of my items are everyday use things.

But my mom is saying you better pack or I might have to pack for you... But i always believe I have more time.

DarcyLongfellow · July 2009

Not until 37 weeks. Freaked my DH out that I waited that long! I'm not totally done yet, but all the main essentials are in there.

BadaBing327 · July 2009

I started packing the bag at 37 weeks and have a list of items to throw in last minute laying on top.

weddedwife · July 2009

Haven't done it yet. Probably should. Maybe this weekend.

NewMrs07 · July 2009

I like to be prepared (already bought a huge box of baby wipes, lol) so I'll probably pack at 35 weeks. I still need a cute bag so I have to do some shopping before I pack.

BAUMBACH · July 2009

36 or 37 weeks i think, i add to it every now and then though

~BeesBoo~ · July 2009

I am planning on packing it this weekend

*this*

Jimsgirl5821 · July 2009

I started this week. I bought a couple pairs of black yoga pants for the hospital stay and my travel size shower stuff and packed that. Still need to add DH's stuff, camera, magazines, etc.

spazz_mama · July 2009

I plan on doing it mid august which will probably be that 36/37 weeks. I've been tempted to pack it now, just to have it there but I'm not sure. I have to go over the little list again because I never know what else I might want in it, and when I pack, I don't want to over do it.

mnbride1013 · July 2009

This weekend - at 36 weeks.

SFAug07 · July 2009

Packing mine tonight after I went for an ultrasound today and the tech said the little girl is way down and could come any day now...that got me going.
