Is your hospital bag ready?

contreras04 · October 2012

Just curious

Also, I really don't want to wash my LO's clothes before she gets here it's so new I'm scared to mess it up lol

LGalipp19 · October 2012

I finished every last thing in my bag today. I washed everything as I received it but now I'm at the point of rewashing it all. I washed all her newborn clothes, blankets, swing and bouncer cover again today. Just trying to get all the chemicals and dyes out of things that will be in contact with her skin the first few days. I feel like she is going to be early so I'm trying to be as prepared as possible!

Simple answer-no. I am having my shower this weekend and in the next couple weeks I will be washing and packing. I'm a little behind most of you though so when I get to 35w, like you, I will be ready.

I'm only washing nb-3m clothes right now. In my bag I have my nursing night gown and booties for LO. There are things I won't be able to pack until last minute, slippers, bra, toiletries...

JessAnnJ · October 2012

I'm 90% packed. Baby's bag is packed just need to add clothes I washed last night for me and clothes for my husband. I packed three separate bags. A smaller delivery bag, a recovery bag, and a diaper bag with baby's things.

JenniatONU · October 2012

Stuff for baby is packed.

Me and DH? Not a single thing.

I haven't done either of those.

I know I should have my bag ready i just cant get my self to do it..

I haven't washed any clothes. I don't plan on washing ANY newborn clothes, bc they are mostly sized only to 8lbs. There's a good chance she will be 8lbs, or close to it And if she doesn't fit in them I want to be able to return them for the bigger size.

This pretty much describes me perfectly. I am off tomorrow so I will be finishing the last load of laundry for baby and hopefully I can start putting my bag together as well.

mrsz2008 · October 2012

I haven't packed yet, but I'm on the back half of Dec moms, so packing at only 32 weeks seems early.

I do have a beautiful list of what I'm packing, I wrote it up 4 times to get it perfect, and it's now hanging on my fridge. I'm probably way too excited to pack our bags so I'm MAKING myself wait until 3435 weeks and it'll be even more fun.

I have washed her newborn, 03, and 3 month clothes, as well as the swaddlers and blankets. I wanted to go through it all and see if there was anything else we needed for her, so I figured I might as well wash it all while it was out.

HopeNotLost · October 2012

Nope. I was induced the first two times, and I don't doubt for a second I will have to be induced this time (unless I have a c-section). I have the baby's diaper bag ready which has her outfits for the hospital and a couple blankets.

Around 36 weeks I will get a hospital bag around. I'm not worried.

Ashley5704 · October 2012

Nope!! I plan on packing it this week. I didn't have my shower until yesterday so I just now got the stuff I need for baby!

MommaAmers · October 2012

I have most of what I am packing either together or ordered. If it's something I don't need daily, it's already packed. I will need to add my glasses, pants, socks, camera, phone, etc. at the last minute.

MrsP052909 · October 2012

No I didn't pack mine until 37 weeks or later last time and there were still things I had to add in when I was actually in labor. I'll do the same this time. Unless you are showing signs of PTL I don't think it's necessary to get it done this early.

BrittanyDoesDerby · October 2012

All packed and ready to go!

spencermaegan · October 2012

I have most of my bag packed aside from a few items I have left to get. The LOs bag I am working on each week as there are few essentials I still need. Once I'm at 35 weeks though this will be ready and in the car. We live 40 minutes from the hospital and don't want family to have to go back to our house for us if we are at work and can go straight there.

mrsneau · October 2012

I'm 32 weeks and haven't packed a thing. I still need to have my baby shower next week and then I plan on washing all of my baby's clothes and blankets. I might pack a bag for her but I can't really pack anything for myself or hubby because most of it is stuff we use everyday!

babymama1212 · October 2012

Yes. I'm also due dec 1, so I'm probably one of the furthest along. There is a small list on the bag of last minute stuff to throw in too.

RissKay · October 2012

Nope. My OB asked us at my appointment last Wednesday if they were packed, and when I told her not yet, she told us to pack them. LOL. UM. HELLO. Reality check, anyone?

hellopoppyseed · October 2012

Nope. Sometimes it crosses my mind but I'll probably wait till 36 weeks.

ForeverEverAfter · October 2012

No, but I'm doing it this week. I thought people were crazy for recommending it prior to 36 weeks, until I spent Friday night in ER. Ugh, I sent DH to get some things for me, and he forgot the most important things. I definitely want to be more prepared in case it happens again. I probably won't pack a bag for baby until my shower next month, but I'm putting one out for myself with at least a change of clothes, snacks and my nausea meds

dodo1202 · October 2012

I just started to wash NB clothes, mittens, bed sheets, and blankets at 35 weeks in the last 2 days.

curtsgrl · October 2012

No washing or packing done over here. I'm waiting until mid-November. Most of what I'm packing I use on a daily basis so it won't even get thrown in the bag until the last minute. I have to go through DS's clothes to find our NB stuff and was it and get everything else out of storage, hopefully we're doing that in the next week or so. I didn't have a bag packed last time either, I'm way to laid back about this whole pregnancy thing.

MrsT1108 · October 2012

I don't have anything done yet for it. I'm not due until 12/31 so I'm in no rush right now. It seems a bit early.

Beth.1212 · October 2012

No to both. It still feels early for me to be packing a bag (due in late Dec.), and I only just had my shower. I plan to wash a couple of newborn things and the practical 0-3 stuff. I actually don't have that many clothes. I figure I can always wash more if it's needed - I'm internally debating whether I should buy more clothes to have on hand and take them back if they're not needed. I am leaning that way.

NoeliaV · October 2012

I have both our labor bag and our postpartum bag started, but not finished. Baby Girl's clothes are washed and packed, though.

If you're really worried about ruining her clothes, just wash/rinse on cold and then do a lower temp/time dry. It would be really hard to ruin anything that way. :-)

jelly0822 · October 2012

No!!!

I'm meeting with my doula on Friday, so maybe she can help us with that! I'm so overwhelmed and my head won't catch up with the date, or with the baby! LOL

jac409 · October 2012

I haven't packed anything yet. I'll probably wait until I'm off for Thanksgiving to do the bag, but I may write out a list to have on the fridge for DH before then, just in case.
