Hospital bag

@Lauren ahh Thankyou for that!x

@Dani some of those bits we need, especially the afterbirth stuff for our bits, are expensive so makes sense to spread the cost 👍🏼 if you have a boots card get yourself down there. You can get a free mam bottle and a free pack of nipple pads if you load the offer off the app on to your card and a lot of the maternity hospital bag stuff is cheaper if you have a boots card

@Lauren yeah think I’m going to do the same but bits at a time and then pack rather than a big shop and pack at same time x

I’m 27 weeks and have just started buying bits, mainly because boots have a sale on at the minute 😄 I’ll be getting bits here and there and then actually packing my bag when I’m past the 30 weeks mark I think. I didn’t wanna buy it all and pack it in one go. I’m just taking my time with it 😊

I started today 🥰 im 27 weeks. I just want to be organised & make sure i have more than enough stuff x

I’m 27 and half packed 🤣 but you never know a girl I know gave birth at 26 weeks in Jan !!! (Baby is now fine) xxx

Start buying things and adding to your bag as you go along. Ideally by 34/35 weeks it should be done. Personally I want everything done by 35 weeks, so I can focus on my toddler and relaxing.

I’ve had mine done since 26 weeks because I’m overly paranoid and obsessive. I’ve also just put it away at the top of the wardrobe so I can’t keep going in and out of it, but I know it’s ready and I can get easy access to it as soon as I need

I've started to get some bits ready and I'm 29 weeks. Like toiletry bag towel Knickers and nursing Bras and plan to add a little bit here and there I've got a week off when I'm 33 weeks and plan to pack it then when I can wash some of the babies clothes too.

I’m nearly 30 weeks now, I’ve started buying postpartum things to pack also did pick up some hard sweets in home bargains ready to go in too! I’m hoping to have packed everything by the end of June ready to go, so hopefully there’ll be nothing to do in July other than wait for her arrival x

I’m 27+1 and I am just using a suitcase I had already, I have stuff like nipple balm, pads, nappies (for me and the baby 😂), and anything else I need like a fan, button down shirts etc I’m going to get over the next 3-4 weeks and then probably pack it around 32 weeks then I have time to shuffle etc if I need to x

I’ll be doing mine shortly after baby shower when I’m around 32-33 weeks ☺️

@Polly yeah will definitely start in next few weeks then x

I’m 28 weeks on Monday and I’ve started purchasing a few bits like maternity pads to pack etc but I’ve not actually packed anything yet. Just getting it organised in my mind and putting things into piles 😂

@Kris yeah me too x

@Dani oh definitely, there’s no harm in that at all! I’ll be packing extras of stuff I already have incase I run out!!x

@Kris I’d rather go a bit bigger and pack stuff I don’t need than not pack it and need it haha x

@Dani definitely choose whichever will work best for you! Some people have a backpack!! A suitcase sounds brilliant🙌🏼x

@Kris think I’m just going to put mine and baby girls stuff in a small suitcase haha x

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow and I’ve just bought my hospital bag, over the next few weeks I’ll start putting it together. So ideally before I’m 35 weeks!

Yeah think I might start getting bits at 30 weeks so I know I’ve started

I'm 30 weeks and have just stared adding things to mine 😊💗 I didn't want to do it too early but also dont wanna be unprepared as a 'just in case' 💗 im also quite a unorganized person I'd say so it gives me enough time to add things and the heavier I'm getting the less energy i have 🤣

I'm planning to start next week when I'll be 30 weeks

I’m planning to do mine at 34-36 weeks. I did it way early in my first pregnancy and just kept constantly redoing it.

@Victoria that’s my worry I don’t want to not be prepared and not ready just in case she comes early and I haven’t got anything🤦🏼‍♀️x

Hi I’m 30+2 and haven’t got anything or packed a bag but also I’m on my 4th pregnancy. I am however feeling a little anxious that we’re way behind on being prepared for little one x
