When did you pack your hospital bag?

[sweetangel7]

I'm 34w and was just wondering when people packed their bags...I feel like it is still early but I get an email from babycenter and what to expect, and one of them (can't remember) said to pack the bags this week as this weeks activity.

i am not packed yet but this is what i am planning on taking...... i know i will be having a c-section and since i am not picky.... i will not be bringing much... the outfit i will wear home is probably the one i will be going to hospital in... will only be wearing it for about 2 hours...lol.... i will gladly wear the hospital gowns,pads,ect... lol

i am pretty sure that i will bring my shampoo/conditioner and stuff like that... house slippers for walking halls. robe or sweater in case you get chilly.... the hospital should have a breast pump you can use when/if you need to.  the hospital also has snacks but if there is anything in particular that you want...then you should bring it.

for baby i will have a small diaper bag (diapers,wipes,extra clothes...just in case of blow outs...i am 2 hrs away from hospital) waiting in car with carseat but as for the bag that goes into the hospital.... only a going home outfit,socks,and blanket (some hospitals will let you take thier recieving blanket home too) the hospital will supply you will diapers while you are there, and will probably send some home with you as well. if you are breastfeeding ask the hospital if you can have some formula to go home with...just in case you end up having to supplement before you can get to store to get some formula...they may be able to give you a few of the little bottles of it.  it is always a good thing to have on hand... just in case...lol

as for my bf... he probably wont need much... maybe some money for the cafeteria or snack room while we are there... i am sure he will want a break at some point....lol
as well as a change of clothes or two... that way he can shower and change whereas as the patient we can shower and put a clean gown on.... but if you are more comfie in your own gowns or pj's feel free to bring them. same with your own unders.... i will use the hospital ones cause it feels better with a c-section line to have a little extra ventilation...lol

good luck in getting your bag together... i am almost 28 weeks and will start my bag in another couple of weeks... just in case i go into labor on my own... this pregnancy is wayyy differant than any other one i have had and therefore it wouldnt surprise me any.  i have never gone into labor on my own/but then again have never had BH before either (until this one...ugh) so you never know what is gonna happen.

i am worried that i will go into labor as my hospital is 2 hrs away....lol

I think 34-36 weeks is a good time to pack.  At least put a pair of nice PJ's that you wouldn't mind a lot of people seeing you in (not hubby's t shirt and boxers) and maybe the coming home outfit for the baby.  Travel accessories, I think its a good idea to pack before than trying to hurry or make dh do it.  Start getting the car seat ready though, you don't want to be messing with it when you are bringing baby home.
I say this but I probably won't be "ready" for the baby until after I come back from the hospital, I am soo not organized.
