CP: Is your bag packed??

slmille4 · December 2013

I'm bad I'm 37 weeks and got nothing. That's today's plan but watch me go into labor!

ChuggingWater · December 2013

Nope. 37 weeks tomorrow.

quidditchcapn1120 · December 2013

I'm a late January girl but considering I am likely to give birth early this time I should really work on it. I just need to get through Christmas. So much to do!

ac1259 · December 2013

Yeah I'm a late January girl too but delivered DD1 at 36 weeks so I should probably get working on that..lol

LadyJ2949 · December 2013

Nope and I want to get some of it packed today. I don't know why I keep putting it off!

pennstated912 · December 2013

I'm 35 weeks today, but something tells me I'll go early (he's measuring big and tall). I should be prepared for that lol

mrskratt · December 2013

My hubby demands that we pack ours today. He's so cute.

peanutmuse · December 2013

I really am a special snowflake on this one -- since there's no SS option, I didn't vote. I have stuff set aside, but really it's in case I get admitted to the hospital again (for the third time). Because my husband is really not good at finding stuff for me. But it would also partially work if I went into labor, I just would need to add a few baby and nursing things.

sunshineitsfine · December 2013

Started it last night, still have some things to add.

nolagal79 · December 2013

@elsutto2 our husbands must have gotten together because mine said to me about an hour ago - I don't care what we do today but the bag will be packed before I leave for work this afternoon!! Lol

Ljessen13 · December 2013

My bag is packed

. Bp issues and modified bed rest makes you get prepared!!!!

OSUWifey09 · December 2013

Not yet, but I am this week [I'm 35 weeks].

@Ljessen13 -- not necessarily, lol. I am only prepared for another hospital admission, which includes things like my crocheting projects. I'm not prepared for labor.

Ljessen13 · December 2013

Hahahaha @peanutmuse!!!!! Your case is definitely way more extreme than mine! You actually should have an assigned room with your name on the door. Preferably like their VIP suite!!!!! I hope you are feeling well!!!

HeartOverMind · December 2013

I'm 35 weeks and some days, and i keep thinking about getting a bag started but i just haven't done it. Maybe after Christmas. We also need to get the car seat base installed soon.

Kismc · December 2013

I finally designated a suitcase for the hospital just last week. It's sort of packed but I still have things to add. And I just washed baby's diaper bag (from DD#1) so now I can pack for baby today!

Hkula · December 2013

DH insisted I get mine packed and in the car last week. I think he's more anxious than I am.

washyourhandsplease · December 2013

Not yet. Due to pre-e my doctor wants to induce me Dec. 31st, two weeks before my actual Jan 13th due date.

jldubb0626 · December 2013

I have to wash a few things and pick up a couple toiletries, but once that's done I'll be packed. Rather have it done now than rush around trying to get it done while in labor.

erika_sue · December 2013

I packed mine when I went into labor the last two times. I might try to get it done before then this time, but probably not

shortstuff15 · December 2013

Haven't even really thought about it, but I'm a late January girl. Right now I'm getting through Christmas, my husbands week of call (which is over Christmas), and then New Years. I'm 36 weeks on new years day, so I'll probably start thinking about packing it sometime between there and my youngest's birthday on the 11th.

ETA: I used the wrong there and I just can't let that go unchanged

BuckeyeMommy4 · December 2013

Not yet. I'm 37 weeks today, but I have never packed my bag until I'm in labor.

Jackapatamus · December 2013

I am ready this time- ds surprised us at 35 weeks, and I didn't have time to come home and get a bag before going to hospital. So my bag and baby bags are packed. Although, dh, ds and the dogs are not! This week I'll put together a bag for ds and the dog!

JaimeCounterman · December 2013

Nearly 37 weeks for baby #1 and not quite packed, but I plan to do it today.. I did set out a few things for her and picked up some of the suggested items to have at home upon return (stool softener, pads as thick as quilts lol, etc). Good luck everyone

monkeybutt61612 · December 2013

Nope, RCS not until the 2nd. Will pack NYE. Wild and crazy over here.

Roses87 · December 2013

I have had one packed for a very long time since I am a ticking time bomb. I did basically just have comfy clothes/panties and decided if I went and was admitted I could have someone being me toiletries and stuff. This past week I added toiletries and a few other items. So mine is all set. I still need to pack stuff for baby But will wait a week or so. If I have baby within a week or so he or she won't go home right away so I have time to get stuff.

nikkijd17 · December 2013

I'm 37 weeks 1 day, 1.5 cm dilated and 60% effaced (as of Thursday). DH put the bag in the car 4 days ago and spends his time staring at me, waiting for my abdomen to explode a la Alien style. I should make him put a dollar in a jar every time he asks if I'm okay. It's very sweet but making me even more impatient.

km_md · December 2013

I have started packing. I made a list, got a bag, and I've put a bunch of stuff into it, but it still needs more than tweaking. The thing I'm having the hardest time with, is how to pack any type of clothing. I already only have a limited amount that fits me, I can't afford to have a pair of yoga pants just sitting in there wasting away lol

jwp325 · December 2013

Hospital bag? I'm supposed to pack one? In all seriousness, it's on my to do list and I really hope it will be mostly packed this week.

thelittlepear · December 2013

I've started, but I'm not done. I'll be 35 weeks this week though, so I should probably finish that up sometime soon!

This. Shockingly, DH's stuff is ready and sitting next to the bag, so I'm the only one slacking.

Shannahbee · December 2013

I'm due Jan 26 and am not getting any early vibes. I'm going to start in the New Year. Like @KaitiMac, I need to pick up nursing bras/tanks to pack and want to wait closer to 37 weeks for those... I'll probably pack everything else before then though. Or at least make a list! Haha.

casholmes · December 2013

I haven't. I feel like anything I pack I'll end up needing so I haven't started. It doesn't help that I only have like 3 pairs of paints that aren't pj's (that still fit right now) so all I'd really be able to pack are some undies and tshirts.

MindyBadger1 · December 2013

I have a scheduled c/s in 8 days and have LO's stuff packed but nothing packed for me. My OB has been telling me to have a bag packed since like 28w since I'm a complete previa and was expected to bleed.... obviously I've been in denial and in a "think positive only" mode..... that has luckily worked.

ETA- hoping to have my bag packed today... no later than Tuesday

Deblondie1 · December 2013

I packed mine at 28 weeks. I've made a few changes but the core hasn't changed. I keep in my car just in case they admit me after an NST. I do have to be sure to toss my brush, charger, etc in it.

BABYROSEJEANS17 · December 2013

I've designated a bag that's sitting on my closet floor. Plus I have a shopping list of things I need to pack in it. The good thing is that I live less than 5 min away from the hospital so if anything I can have my SO throw stuff in there. But you know how guys are, I'll probably get 30 phone calls asking where things are. SMH!

bluegreeneyes11 · December 2013

I just started this today. Only because people started asking if I had it ready so I figured since I am 35/35 tomorrow it may be a good time to do it. I will probably be piecing together some stuff over the next few weeks though.

This was my main reason for not having my bag completely packed yet last week.. I didn't want to put any yoga pants in the bag because that is all I like to wear these days. I finally decided to leave one pair in there and plan to rotate as I do laundry but just make sure there is at least one pair of yoga pants in there at all times just incase! That seems to make me feel better and now my bag is packed and ready so I'm feeling pretty good

tootsscott · December 2013

Mines been packed for weeks! Reorganized it after coming home from hospital and its waiting by the door.

megngregk · December 2013

Mine is packed and everything is in the crib so it's all in one place. One tote for me, diaper bag for LO along with camera bag, tripod, Boppy and the list of things I have to grab last minute.

stellar77 · December 2013

No, but I keep saying this is the weekend I'm going to get it done. You'd think I would since I delivered my 1st DD at 36 weeks.
