I am currently 32 weeks and 5 days. When did you all start packing your hospital bag? What did you pack? Im a FTM and not sure what to pack? Annnnd when did you pre-register at the hospital? If you have.
Thanks for your time! Ftms and already mommies!

I just had my baby boy 8/16 via csection (due to him being breech) and my water broke at 37+2 weeks I actually was doing last minute shopping that morning to finish packing my suitcase! Here's what I packed! A couple loose dresses to go home in, a robe and slippers, socks (wasn't a fan of the hospitals) toiletries and hygiene products, hair tie, cheap flip flops they were like 50 cents, to shower in the hospital in, I brought my baby book to start writing in that, nursing bras. If you're addicted to your phone like I am I suggest buying a 6 foot charger to reach your bed lol I had to charge mine across the room which was annoying and I couldn't really walk. I wish I brought my laptop also (since I was in the hospital 4 nights) bring a going home outfit for baby. the hospital provided everything else for me: pads, underwear, nipple cream, breast pump, diapers, wipes, baby shirts.
I can't think of anything else.
Start packing around 35w ish cuz you never know when your water could break or anything else happening :)

Hello darling. I have had 2 kids already and pregnant with my 3rd. When I was a ftm I packed my bag kinda early lol I was just so anxious to have a baby! I feel like I packed anything that would fit in there only to discover that I didn't use half of it. Lol. The second time around and this time as well I packed a couple days ago just incase. I'm 27 weeks. I packed the things I felt like I needed. But I also packed a bag for myself. Diaper bag: bottles (I don't breastfeed), receiving blankets, socks, hand covers (baby will scratch face without them), lotion, and a couple of outfits to go home in. Hospital provides mostly everything else. My bag: slippers, socks, robe, going home outfit, underwear, extra pads, some touch up makeup, brush, tooth brush and paste, shampoo and conditioner. I only brought my own because I prefer my own brands. Also I registered the other day when I went in to be seen by a doc cuz I was worried about movement. They told me I was registered when I came in. I don't think it's ever too early to be prepared for a brand new baby. Congrats!!
