When should you........

[Kelz22]

Have your hospital bag packed from?Im 29 week gone tomarrow and my friend told me I should have it packed by now?I thought it was too early?xxx

 

[billybump]

I packed mine at 30weeks but keep changing my mind on stuff and so unpack and repack the lot.

 

[jennifer89]

i've only just packed mine at 35 weeks, a bit late i know! x

 

[Celesse]

I have to pack a bag!??!

Not even thought about it yet.

 

[thechaosismex]

I packed mine today just need some mini bottles of shampoo and things and im all ready!

 

[Squidge]

I didn't pack mine until nearly 38wks but everyones different. Ideally, i'd say around 35/36wks is a good time to do it

 

[summerarmahni]

[Squidge]

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, maybe it's just me that leaves things until last minute then

ha ha Nope me neither - I should though this is my third I should now better (slaps hand)...

I had my first 3 weeks early too so (Another slap my way...) xx

 

[bekkie]

haven't started packing mine at all - I keep saying that we should do it... and then all of a sudden another week has passed figure I'll probably be yelling at hubby what to put in the bag while my water is breaking or something hahaha

 

[xpinkness87x]

i havent packed mine yet... im still unsure what to put in it lol

 

[Emma1980]

its half done, lol...

 

[Belle30]

Did mine on Saturday at 38+1!! It's still not 100% complete...

 

[WW1]

My mw said to have it packed for 36 weeks. Mine's not complete but it's pretty much done!

 

[2bananas]

Havnt done a thing

But plan to pack both mine and bubs bag in first couple weeks of jan.

 

[redpoppy]

I think the standard advice tends to be to have your bag packed at 36 weeks.

I had mine pretty much done by 37 weeks and now it's almost complete apart from the stuff I use regularly like toiletries etc. Oh, and I haven't packed a spare set of clothes or my pyjamas yet. But my list is right nest to the bag so it shouldn't be a problem.

I think if you get your list ready and make sur eyou have everything in the house that's a pretty good start.

 

[twiggy56]

Havnt packed mine but i will do it for 36 weeks as this tends to be the norm!

[Kirstin]

packed mine at 40+5

I've heard between 32-34 weeks is a good time to have it done by for those 'just in case' situations, but as long as you have what you're going to need then I wouldn't stress too much over it. I can pack for a 2 week vacation in about 10-15 mins so I figure a 1-2 night stay won't take me too long. It's just making sure I'll have everything I need on hand!

 

[billybump]

If you have everything for labour and the first bit of your stay on the ward then you could always send oh to collect other things you want. I've got everything I think I'll want/need in a small case and my change bag but I'm still trying to shrink it down...
