Pregnant after a Loss

When did you/will you pack your hospital bag?

At what point in the pregnancy did you get this done or do you plan on having this done?
I have to pick up a few supplies for my bag and LO's bag, but I just keep thinking about it and not actually doing it.

Re: When did you/will you pack your hospital bag?
I'm doing mine this weekend and I'll be 35 weeks.
Everyone keeps telling me they think I'll go early which has me all paranoid (even though people have no basis for saying WHY I'll go early, but whatever). I also have a lot of stuff to do in August and I'm afraid time is going to get away from me and I'll be throwing crap together last minute.
Plus, I figure if I start early, it will give me time to rethink things and remember to toss in things that I forgot.
Around 33 weeks, I started a pile in my closet of things I already had that needed to go...
35 weeks picked up all my toiletries in travel size or travel size containers to fill and out them together...
37 weeks bags are packed and ready, list of what needs to go in is on top (glasses, makeup, etc.).
I have two bags--one for stuff I want during labor, the other stuff I need after. I'll leave the second one in the car & DH can go fetch it while I name the baby. BWUAHAHAHA!

Haha - little does he know you will be filling out the birth certificate papers during this time!
You crack me up Kathy.
I have a pile of things that need to be packed in a bag, I'm almost done. I'm almost positive I will go late, so I'm not stressing too much about it.
I am using my small wheeled suitcase which I take as a carry on when I fly.
I think someone said on my BMB that a wheeled suitcase was easier as you were leaving because you'll have so much other stuff to carry, it's easy just to tow it behind you.
I have a list of stuff I'm packing for the hospital, but I just sort of made my own after looking through posts on my BMB and asking friends.

LOL! Make it really heavy and hard to get out of the car so you have time to make a clean "get away" with the birth certificate!
I SHOULD have mine packed already.....I was 34 weeks with DS when I was first admitted to the hospital with high blood pressure. So I need to get on the ball about packing that bag! I honestly can't remember what I packed last time, or what I needed, so now I'm avoiding the task instead of tackling it head on!
I also need to assembly the baby's bed (he'll be in an Amby crib when he first comes home). Guess I better get working. I wish nesting started sooner!
