When to pack hospital bag

Mine are all done as of yesterday, I’m 33+2. I’m anxious about needing to go in earlier and not having it ready, it’s just in the boot of my car now for safe keeping and ease x

It’s never too early, my mum told me to make sure they’re all packed and be as prepared as possible. She hadn’t packed hers as she’s very last minute and my brother came at 35 weeks😣x

Mine was packed at 28 weeks! Whenever you want to do it :)

Hospital bag is finished just waiting on my dressing gown to arrive and nappy boxes sorted upstairs and down.. don’t want to get taken in early and someone else have to do it and they do it not the way I’d want it🤣x

I'm 28-29 now and I was going to wait until 36 when I'm on maternity but my husband has asked me to Pack 2 now, one for the car and one for home incase he is out with the car.

34 weeks tomorrow and only started this weekend to take care of the hospital back and nursery. We just finished house renovations, so I couldn't have started any sooner anyway, but I thinkhavingthe bag ready for week 35 will give me peace of mind.

Thanks everyone!! I’m a neonatal nurse so deep down know this baby could come at any point so you’d think I’d have them all done by now😂hope everyone’s pregnancies are going well.

I’m 35 weeks and had my daughter at 34 weeks so I really should have everything ready by now but I’ve sooo much to do 😅

Never too early to have it packed as you just don't know when things will start and one thing you do know for sure is you'll be going into hospital and will need that bag! X

I'm 35 weeks and I haven't started yet. I think every individual is different.

I’m almost 37 weeks and just done mine few days ago. It’s really up2 u. Do what feels right for you…

34 weeks and bag packed

35wks and all packed and all of baby’s room is ready , just waiting for arrival now x

My last few bits for the bag will go in tomorrow but nappies/wipes/bibs etc have been stocked for a couple of weeks. I’m convinced baby will come early so wanted everything ready. I’m 35+2

I'm at official date of 36+3 now and my hospital bag, changing caddies, bath caddy, changing bags have all been ready for over 6 weeks. I also have all of the bottles washed and in the sterilisers ready to put water in and turn on when I get home from hospital with her, pram and cribs up and ready to go. Perfect prep machine set up, bench in the kit hen sorted and organised where everything is in its place and ready for her. 🙈🙈

so very organised, love it. I’m gonna go ahead and crack on with things! X

I’ve sort of half started and I’m 36+3 really need to get my bum in gear, my advise get it packed! I have absolutely no motivation to finish it on top of finishing sorting my room out for her 🤦 I had some unforeseen family stuff pop up and have had 2 weeks of no prep and now catching up. Xx

I think I'm too organised sometimes because I have all of her clothes washed and just ready to organise properly into sizes in her wardrobe too but I feel like I need to be ready in enough time because I have other health issues so I knew I was going to struggle to even move or do anything towards the end. I was right. Struggling loads now so it's a massive help to me that it's done and the couple of minor things i have left to sort, I can do sitting down. Xx

35 weeks tomorrow and I finished mine today. Starting with cervical sweeps on the 27th so spent the weekend washing babies clothes and trying to get organised
