I figure if the baby comes before that I'll have bigger fish to fry than worrying about my fave sweatpants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240644 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 10:16:05 +0000 purrpletulips 240644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't remember when I packed mine with DD but most likely around 36w mark which is when we went for our child birth class/hospital tour (bad weather kept cancelling them). This time I will probably pack it a little sooner (currently 33w) because I know what I used and didn't use the last time, plus I don't have any trips planned that would need the travel toiletries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240604 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 09:52:34 +0000 Mrsbells 240604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I packed mine early too because you just never know. I started packing mine in the 2nd trimester but added things to it over time. And once I got past 36 weeks I put it n the trunk of my car. That ended up being a lifesaver when I was unexpectedly kept in the hotel during a routine checkup </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240599 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 09:51:10 +0000 LuLu Mom 240599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone, it seems like I'm not crazy to start this early. My hospital suggests a labor bag and a post opp bag, as well as a seperate one for baby. However I will probably combined Baby in with ours, since we don't need much for her. Going home outfit/baby book pages, blanket, and we are good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240407 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 05:58:55 +0000 bushelandapeck 240407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I started around 37 weeks and it is mostly finished now (39 weeks) but there are still things I need to pack once we are really in labor. I had a list of things made around 35 weeks though, just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240401 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 05:49:33 +0000 mediagirl 240401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I threw some undies for both of us in it at 37 weeks. Then rest we packed when I went into labor. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240397 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 04:20:56 +0000 bebe 240397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pack early if you can, you just never know! I delivered early at 36 1/2 weeks...my water broke and I packed right before heading to the hospital which was stressful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240394 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 02:27:41 +0000 looch 240394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I packed very slowly, dropping stuff into my bags as I thought of them. I had a labor bag and a recovery bag so I want walking in with all of my gear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240391 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 02:19:35 +0000 Penny Lane 240391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 38 weeks tomorrow, and only just packed it yesterday! DH had been bugging me to do it for weeks and weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240386 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 01:40:22 +0000 kokobee 240386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would pack your bag early! i was going to wait until 2 weeks before but ended up delivering early. packed my bag before heading to the hospital. forgot a lot of stuff and made DH go back home to get more stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240372 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 00:32:51 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 240372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going out this week to buy underwear,slippers,robe and pjs for hospital...I'm getting toiletries too. So I'll pack next week once everything is bought and I'll be a few days over 30w. I don't think it's too early because I think I'll forget so many things and I'll randomly remember them over the next 10weeks. Like a pp said: chargers, toothbrushes and laptops won't be packed until last minute </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240325 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 21:35:04 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 240325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We packed it 2 weeks before but I felt it was kinda late. I'd opt for 5 weeks to be safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240224 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:45:01 +0000 lovehoneybee 240224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I half-packed it yesterday (38wks). It won't be fully packed until we're ready to go...things like toothbrushes and chargers and such aren't going in yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240211 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:30:24 +0000 heffalump 240211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it at 36 weeks. Doesn't hurt to do it early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240207 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:25:58 +0000 matador84 240207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 35 weeks and have the basic stuff packed, I need to repack it into a bigger suitcase though...my little duffel bag is too small. Someone suggested to me to load it in my car by 36 weeks "just in case," but that freaks me out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240203 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:15:09 +0000 autumnlove 240203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Packed the basics at week 36. Packed my non essentials the day I was induced at week 41! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240202 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:13:50 +0000 chopsuey 240202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started packing mine at around 30 weeks too.. :T I just wanted to get a head start and not have to scramble for things if I went into labor early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pack-your-hospital-bag-2#post-240197 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:12:14 +0000 LuLu Mom 240197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We attended our birthing class on Saturday and the teacher suggested packing our bag now to be prepared, we are 30 weeks. This seems early! She said better safe than sorry, thoughts? I will be buying stuff just for hospital (travel toiletries, new robe, socks, ect) so I guess we will have everything! </p>
