Hospital bag

[Sophwalms]

When do you pack your hospital bag? I'm 28 weeks and I'm not sure when to get things ready x

Pack now if it makes you feel more comfortable, otherwise maybe by 34 weeks.
You'll find first time round you'll probably pack too much but if it fits & makes you feel more comfortable go for it.

Ok thank you. Just abit of a worrier lol don't want to miss anything if I'm in a panic x

I didn't pack mine until a few days before due date and now wish I had gone and got some better stuff and didn't just cram it all into an overnight bag.

I started packing about 30 weeks but ended up packing in the middle of the night after my waters went at 38 weeks. Meant some things were missed (going home clothes for me!).

I usually reccomend to my clients that they start packing at around 34 weeks. I however am 36 weeks and have only packed for baby so far. I went out and got some bits for me yesterday but I’m not rushing! 😬

I'm 28 weeks and started packing mine last week. The amount of things you need to think of and buy made me panic so thought I'd start early. Still got to wash baby's clothes before packing them but the rest of it is about done. I'll probably unpack and repack a few times before the due date but I like to be ready lol

I recommend having a second bag packed and left at home too. I had unexpected complications and spent a week on the postnatal ward (which is hotter than hell itself). DH was quite sleep deprived and kept bringing me heavy jumpers etc to wear!
