I was on bed rest, so technically yes, but in terms of figuring out what to pack, I did it on my own. I made a comprehensive list and he put it in the suitcase. We did the baby's bag together but that was mainly because I wanted it to be a joint effort for sentimental reasons.. picking out his going home outfit together, etc.
-
Haha, no! I didn't trust him to know what I needed!
But I did give him a list of phone numbers (ob, hospital, delivery ward, etc.) in case of emergency.
-
No. I'm also insane/was excited out of mind & except for daily use stuff, we were packed by 30 weeks lol
-
No!! But he fetched me loads of bits during the week i was in hospital so he may as well have.
-
Nope, but I had him in charge of organizing what he needed - snacks, spare clothes etc
-
Yup, he's the packer in the family. I get everything together and he packs it in the bag.
-
Ha, no. He's not the packer in this relationship. He had no idea what was in each bag so he brought me the baby clothes/postpartum bag instead of the labor bag when we got to the hospital. Good thing I wasn't too excited about anything in my bag.
-
nope! perhaps on the day we were going to the hospital, I asked him to help by telling what we still needed to pack, but I did the organizing and packing basically.
-
No, good lord--I wouldn't want him too! I'd have ended up with weird stuff like a Nintendo Ds, action movies, and chocolate bars with nothing else.
-
Yes, he packed it because I was unexpectedly induced after a bpp/nst at 37 weeks, I hadn't packed yet!
-
A little! He packed a bag for himself (he plans to stay the night) and reminded me of things to pack for myself.
-
@Anagram: Ha! My thoughts exactly. We would have ended up with crunchy bar snacks. And maaaaybe the car seat.
-
A little!
-
Nope! Not only did he not help me, but after we got to the hospital, he was all "Why didn't you pack ME ____?" Grrr... pack your own crap while I'm in labor!
-
No and last time I packed his bag too. He's a horrible packer.
-
Nope and I packed his stuff. I only packed enough for 2 days bc I just assumed I would have a vaginal birth - we were there for 4 days bc I ended up with a csection and both LO and I had infections and needed IVs for 4 days. Ok for me bc I mostly stayed in a hospital gown - not so great for DH but we had family around that offered to grab him more clothes. So learn a lesson from me and pack enough for at least 4 days!
-
No, I packed during labor. His job was to time my contractions.
-
No, I had a list from childbirth class so I packed it myself.
-
Nope. He packed his stuff right before we left.
-
No. I packed while in labor and he was busy getting himself ready. It was a little hectic.
-
Nope. I packed mine and he packed his hospital bag.
-
No, I packed for myself, but we live 8 minutes from the hospital and have pets, so he didn't need to pack since he would be back and forth as it was. He didn't stay over with #2, so he could help the grandparents with #1 and keep life somewhat normal for him.
-
No and I packed stuff for him too. I'm the packer whenever we go on trips etc.
-
Yes, I was in labor when he packed it... major procrastination! I was doubled over on our bed having contractions so he was pretty much completely in charge of the bag.
-
Yes. I had thrown together some of the necessities but really didn't have a bag completely packed when I went into labor! This caused all sorts of problems! He and my bro in law went back and forth to our house to get the boppy, pajamas, birth class materials.
-
No. My water broke 4 weeks before my due date, my bag wasn't packed yet, so I ran around my room leaking all over the place. Dh was busy packing his own bag and calling grandparents to come babysit lo.
But I did give him a list of phone numbers (ob, hospital, delivery ward, etc.) in case of emergency.
