Do I take my hospital bag ??

Last minute panic, we go away tonight for one night to Liverpool (4 hours drive away) for a work commitment tomorrow and my partner is coming with me to drive (currently so uncomfortable driving 😩) we are also going to celebrate our 5 year anniversary!! Do you think I should pack my hospital bag to leave in the car at the hotel? I am currently 36 + 3. Fyi - My last baby came spontaneously at 37 weeks πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

I'd take it to be safe and gives you a piece of mind as I've planned to pack a small backpack with some bits in along with main hospital bag as I'm terrified my partner won't know what to do as baba 3 is his 1st x

I had my hospital bag in the car early on. I’m glad I was prepared cos I had my antenatal appt at 32 weeks then got told to stay overnight. I ended up having emergency c-section few days later. I’m thankful I had my bag packed! People laughed at me for being so prepared early but look what happened πŸ˜…

I'd take it personally if you have the room to. I'm going to Center Parcs next week and will be almost 36 weeks when we return do I'm packing mine and popping the car seat in just in case. X

I had a very vivid dream last night my baby came next week and nothing was packed, I was running around getting things together whilst in labour. We hadn't finished buying things for the baby or anything.
I woke up and now my hospital bag is 90% packed and everything is now on order πŸ˜‚ I would take it with you otherwise be on your mind, mine obviously was by not being Done x
