I left a 'don't forget' note above my maternity bag last time so I don't forget things I don't wanna pack away until it's time such as, phone chargers, make up, maternity notes... probably more lol (I will probably still forget)

I am packing mine this week. I'm almost 32 weeks. I have been feeling very strange so I guess I'd rather be ready then not. I'm having a vbac so I'll also pack a bag for a.longer stay to leave home in case I need a repeat cs. I'm sure my husband will be coming  home to fed the chickens and goats but I don't want him to try and pack me extra stuff so I will have it ready if I need it. Plus I need to have a bag for my 18 month old and my 4 year old....

Yes take the book! Definitely an amazing thing they do by stanping their little feet in it! I also took nursing bras, hair ties, chapstick, baby book, socks, glasses and quarters for the vending machine cause hubs would get hungry and bother me ;) for baby I only took 2 outfits with my 1st and it wasn't enough in my opinion so this time I'm bringing 5. 4 in hospital, 1 going home.  I dressed my baby up but if you use what the hospital gives you then you can take less.

A friend recommended to me to take my baby girls, baby book, so when they take her prints for the birth certificate they can also stamp my book. I thought this was a great idea.

Toiletries And a towel (they give you a tiny one at the hospital). Make sure it's one you don't mind throwing out afterwards. Also, I swear by them-depends. Seriously. Adult diapers are where it's after giving birth. Those first two days you'll need them. The elastic keeps all the grossness inside and away from your clothes and bedsheets. I will bring them every time I give birth now.

Due 12/13. Packed 3 separate bags, one for me, one for daddy, and one for baby. What to expect has a good checklist of what you would want to have with you. I packed some depends for the afterbirth, which I feel like will be more comfortable and less of a hassle for afterbirth than layering pads.
