Whose already Packed, Hospital Bag that is. When are you guys packing?

[Latrice414]

Just wanted to no when you guys are packing your hospital bags, and are you packing light or heavy.  Im going to pack after my baby shower, which is july 26.  Im going to pack light and take my sons ipod n deck, its mediium size, and have my sister bring her laptop to i can send out emails when baby arrives.  I will bring my own toiletrees(sp?), a few baby outfits(3) and my own pads. And a comfortable outfit to go home in.  I think thats about it.

Like ur post...even im a aFIRST TIME mom, and too NERVOUS as well.
2 days back i realised that i have only 10-11 weeks to go and thatz it, it gets onto me and I get up in the middle of the night.
Last night i had pain in my upper abdomen  & was so nervous if it is already time for delivery or something...hahaha

I need to get down to packing, but v dun buy most of the stuff before the baby is born, am so anxious.Yester a colleague of mine added to my tension by telling me abt post natal depression :( i realised im getting pre-natal as well.

can someone share the packing list please.

good luck n gimme lots of support please.

I haven't packed one yet... and I don't plan on packing on until it's ALOT closer to my due date... (September 13th) because I plan on wearing some of the clothes that I am bring until that point.  And if I go early then DH will (Oh god... ) have to pack for me...

Which isn't a good thing... cuz this weekend we went on vacation and he didn't bring extrea contacts and guess what happend, one fell out while he was sleeping and we had to find an optomatrist that had his perscription and then they had to veryifiy it ect.  And then he kept asking me if what he was wearing was "okay."  Well christ that's the only thing that he brought so it will have to be okay... right!?  ---- so maybe I'll pack a small one sooner than later, that way I know I'll have what I need...

Ariqueen, I'm getting really nervous too!! This time I will be bringing the baby home so it's really starting to sink in, this is really going to happen! This will be my baby and the decisions I make will effect the baby. And it's getting so close! I love walking in the nursery but it's bare since I have yet to have any baby showers and I kinda freak out, what if I don't get everything we need? What if we forget something. Wow I'm getting a headache now....

I think Yvette has a really good list that she put together a few months ago. I remember seeing it in the August forum you could look it up there or ask her.

I'll probably pack after my shower too...I'm having my shower on 6/18 I'll be a little over 30 weeks by then. Girls, I am REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT THIS.................this is my first baby and I have NO IDEA what to expect.

Does anyone have a good list of what we should pack?  

[chantal21]

I'll probably wait until I am closer to 34 weeks. I am going to a birthing center, so I have to pack snacks, bottled water, some towels, baby's clothes, pads...etc. But as long as all goes well like last time, I will only be there for 2 hours and get to go home! So I don't want to pack too much, but not too light. Maybe I should start sooner then? lol. With my son I didn't pack until week 36 (when I started losing my plug) I'm so last minute!!

I'm going to pack a just incase bag this week. That's just incase I end up in preterm labor and will only have my things in it. I'll wait until the last week of July to pack the real bag.

Not me. I'm a slow poke. I'll probably pack when in August sometime lol.
