Hey Moms-to-be,
Currently 30 weeks pregnant and I haven’t begun my hospital bag yet. When should I start?
Any tips/recommendations on what to definitely pack?
Thanks 😊

I'm also 30 weeks and haven't packed mine quite yet. Baby girl is measuring on time so far and my due date is 11/12. I'll probably get started after my 36 week scan, unless something comes up in the next couple appointments. There's so many resources out there, but this is the list I'm referencing.

Thanks for sharing that! I felt like I knew what to pack until I read it haha

I've been reading (on Google) at like 34 to 36 weeks. But I'm anxious, so may start now...😱

I’m currently 31 weeks! I just started mine yesterday!! I’ve been reading about too many babies coming early and it made me think about all of the “what ifs”!!

Lol I made my list yesterday I’m 31 weeks I wanna start getting it together around 35/36

I’m 31 weeks and I’ll probably start in the next couple weeks now that I have almost everything we need for baby’s arrival. I’m a planner though, I think it’s normal to do around 34-36, same with prepping car seat.

I have baby girl’s clothes packed, but none of my stuff yet except the paperwork folder. Most important thing for me was lots of snacks!! I’m in France though so I’ll be in the hospital 3-5 days from a normal delivery. Honestly if you have the energy for it now do it, I didn’t at all in the later weeks. I’ll be bringing my pump since I was an exclusive pumper last time, and nutramigen formula because her older brother had a cow’s milk allergy. Tucks pads and witch hazel and peri bottle for me (they don’t give them here), and most other stuff I need the hospital will have.

I’m 30wks and mine is ready. My personal bag however, don’t even know where to start 😩
