One of the famous "Hospital bag" questions.

posted 10th Aug '12
So, I am 35 weeks tomorrow...
I was thinking about weither or not I should pack or not.

With my first son, when I hit 30 weeks I packed, unpacked and repacked at least 20 times not to mention made a ton of check list to just be sure I had everything.
Number two, I made a list procrastinated and at 37 weeks 6 days I had my son, No bag packed. DH had to come home and try and pack everything I needed without a list because he couldn't find it.
Now, On to number 3... I know what I need and just thinking maybe it would be a good idea to pack the bag of the clothes and little things I wont miss around the house, put it in the car and just grab my laptop and camera when I am ready to go?

Is 35 weeks a little to early?
I don't wanna seem baby eager but I hated not having the things I needed, lol. ((Like my favorite comfy jammies and my robe))

Im a little over 35 weeks and I started packing my bag yesterday.   My first child was also born early and was extremely unexpected. The labor went very fast! I went in for a NST and next thing you know they were inducing me. I would say packing at 35 weeks is definitely not too early.

I started my bag at 36 weeks and was very happy to be prepared when I had DD at 38 weeks! I just made sure to grab my computer & stuff when I was leaving!

With my first I had my Dr appt and he had me go to the hospital as soon as I left his office,due to pre-e and a hurricane coming,I was 36w5days and had nothing really packed.with my second I had it packed the day my Dr told me I was going to be induced.

Lol, I was thinking it would be about the right time. I am not even going to pack underwear because those disposable mesh underwear are just way more comfortable then the granny panties I bought first time around.
I was just thinking a couple pairs of pajama's, Luke's clothes and his baby book... Things I am not really using right now and things I wont need for a while. I don't even bring diapers or wipes. Learned I didn't need to pack like I was moving in when having my first boy.

Seriously, I liked the mesh undies haha. I had them with my first which was a vaginal delivery but with my son I had a c section so I bought comfy boy shorts. I know right they give you literally everything. Id probably just bring face wash, lotion, a brush and shower crap toothbrush

Yea... That and my travel shampoo. I am picky on that. I cannot stand that weird soap they give you. Smells gross...
