bag packed?

alyson41387 · September 2010

I know i might be a little to early to start thinking about it but i was wondering when everyone started to pack their bag for the hospital?

I have started getting mine packed and I am 35 weeks. I started last week. You can never be prepared to early!

I don't really plan on packing a bag until I go into labor because I'll just end up unpacking it to use/wear things that I packed. When I go into labor I'll grab a few things and take it to the hospital with me. If I need something once I get there that I forgot to bring with me, I'll just send someone to my house to get it.

I haven't even thought about mine yet...maybe this weekend. DH and I live five minutes from the hospital, so if we forget anything we are close.

I am packing tonight. My nurse midwife says baby girl may come next week so I'd better pack in the next few days. Now I have to find my slippers under all the baby gear in my closet...

I just packed this weekend (34 weeks with twins). I really should have had it done earlier, but I needed to get a few things and don't go out without DH anymore. It feels good to have it all packed and sitting here waiting for me. If you can pack, I say do it as early as possible, but if you have stuff you will need over and over, maybe pack everything you can and have a list by the bag so you can quickly get the things in a pinch.

I haven't started mine yet, but I'm planning on at least putting together a mental list this weekend. I don't want to pack to early and then need something and unpack.

I'm also having the baby at a free standing birth center and will only stay for a few hours after giving birth before going home. So I don't need as much stuff as most people who would be staying in the hospital for several days. If I need something else then I can just send my mom, sis or MIL to get it for me.

I'm "due" Friday. I guess I should get the damn thing packed, eh?

MTAngel · September 2010

not yet

but I must say I only live about 5 blocks from the hospital and last time it was incredibly easy to have DH run home for whatever we forgot so I'm not too worried

Bailey81 · September 2010

Goal is to be packed by Friday (35 weeks). I have an ultrasound a week from today and I want to have things ready in case there's a problem.

Britty685 · September 2010

I packed mine @ 35weeks. Glad I did too because at my 36 week appointment they sent me to the hospital for high bp, and I needed the things in it for an overnight stay.

It is now REpacked and sitting in my bedroom.

I packed mine a couple weeks ago, but I've had lots of PTL, so it was more of a hopeful trick. The hope was (and it worked) that if I had my bag packed she would chill out and I wouldn't have so many trips to L&D. Otherwise I would have just started to pack a bag.

Geback723 · September 2010

I packed mine last week, I think, or was it 2 weeks ago.. Confused

. Either way, around 36wks I guess

I'm in this boat... or with tastyburger, whichever way you look at it! I've tossed a couple of things in, but it's not ready. I know it should be, but I really don't foresee him coming soon, so then I'd be searching for X,Y, or Z and have to unpack! (run-on I know!)

Yesterday I had the overwhelming urge to pack my hospital bag, so I did...I have a feeling that I'm not going to make it to my due date...and I don't want to get stuck running around if Lylah does decide to come early...

ETA- I live 45 mins from the hospital, so its not that easy to send someone home to pick stuff up for me...

hewinked · September 2010

With DD, I planned to pack it at 35 weeks since that's when my doc said they would not stop labor. For whatever reason, I packed it at 34 weeks, and DD was born at 34w6d. This time, I was in L&D last week, and I packed some stuff. I've just been adding to it as I think of stuff.

ETA: I'm also an hour away from the hospital with no traffic, so I gotta have my stuff and DD's stuff ready. It won't be easy to just run home and get it.

askewmyers · September 2010

Im only 29 weeks but keep having issues where im sent to the hospital so im starting to think that I should pack mine now and put it either in the car or near the door just in case. I have what I will need and the outfit i want my baby to come home in so why not?

LemonBlush · September 2010

I'll be packing mine (or most of it anyways) today. Things like yoga/sweats to wear home will have to be last minute items to grab since I don't want them put away for 5 or so more weeks.
