Are you ready yet?

I’m due 4th September, so 37 weeks this coming Wednesday. I’m wondering if you ladies have packed your hospital bags / put things in place ready for babies arrival yet? Have felt chilled and like I still have so much time left so don’t want to do it too soon, but today I’m feeling overwhelmed and emotional that stuff isn’t done. X

I'm currently 34+6 weeks and haven't started packing yet either 😅 But will do so coming week!

I'm also due on the 4th! But induction booked for 39 weeks due to growth concerns but could potentially be induced next week if scan isn't great. I have packed my bag (suitcase lol) and things are more or less ready for baby. You've still got time, try and break things down and just do at least 1 thing today if it makes you feel better! As long as there's somewhere for baby to sleep, feeding bits sorted and a car seat don't worry, everything will fall into place xxxx

I’m definitely packing to be ready for 37 weeks as that’s the full term and people do give births before their due date, in fact about 40% with their first kid. If a packed bag isn’t that important for you, then it’s okay and you don’t need to stress yourself over it :)

I’m almost 36wks - I’ve just packed mine! Babies bag will be done this week. My first baby came at 38 weeks so definitely getting sorted this week!

36 weeks on Monday and I am beyond ready 🙌

@Kayleigh how are you doing?? You had the positive test but I guess luckily it didn’t progress beyond that? Any new symptoms or any updates on when the baby is going to appear? If you don’t mind sharing of course :)

Due 4th aswell. Just packed my hospital bag but still need to do baby’s bag which I’ll probably do this week as I also need to wash his clothes xx

I’m 35 weeks and I haven’t even bought the stuff to pack in the bag. 😂 I’m laughing but also I wish I was more organised lol x

I'm due 4th as well but as per last scan the baby was measuring 3 days early. I washed all baby clothes, towels and blankets and arranged them in the dresser. I have kept all the hospital items in one place and yet to pack them in a mini suitcase. Doing this gave me a peace of mind however you can do one step at a time and not get stressed over it

Only done babies bag, haven’t even brought what I may need for my bag . 34 weeks currently x

I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and I haven't done anything yet 😅

I'm having a c-section on the 10th and the nesting has fully kicked in. Nursery done, all clothes and bedding washed, bags packed, I'm good to go 😂 xx

33 weeks still got to buy stuff and put it into the bag

I’m 35+4 but likely having baby in next 1-2 weeks and all my bags are packed and all baby stuff ready with crib going up today. I like to be super organised though just in case lol

36 weeks today and nope. Feeling so lazy and tired that I can’t help playing chicken with deadlines.

I’m 33 and almost packed mine only because I have a feeling baby is going to be early but I packed early with my first and he ended up being 3 weeks late 🙄xx

I’m 36 on Tuesday and I’ve got all my bags and everything done x

You are just going to heavier and more tired so try and do it when you have energy so it’s all ready. X

I’m 36 weeks on Friday and haven’t even thought about starting a bag let alone sorted one or bought anything yet! 🫣😂 xx

I will be 33 weeks tomorrow. Hospital bag is all packed just been adding stuff to suitcase as I buy it. All baby items is out assembled and in its place. last thing to do is put the pram together when it gets delivered beginning of September. I’m not due until 29th September xx

Thanks ladies, I have been on a mission today! Baby bag is done, hubby bag done, and mine is half done and as I buy last minute bits il pop them in. Next to me cot is up and in place now too. Feeling a lot less overwhelmed and more organised 👏🏼👏🏼 x

@Carris well done you!! Smashing it! Xx

@Polina I wonder whether this is because so many women are induced now though...

I’m due 2nd September and have just finished packing my hospital bag. Been putting it off but it’s made me feel like the main thing is done!

I’m 37 weeks this coming Thursday. Due 5th September. Both mine and babies bags are done and ready x

I'm due 5th September and only just packed hospital bags. So glad I've done it now as it was bugging me that I hadn't done it but really struggled to find the energy to think about it all and do it this time! (Second baby). I ordered most of the things I needed off amazon as didn't have the energy to go walking round the shops. Especially with a toddler 🥴

@Sarah due date buddy 😁😁😁

@Jess how are you feeling? Xx

We are due the same day, Iv packed and ready to go should she decide to make an earlier appearance x

37 weeks tomorrow and nothings ready 😂😂😂

I'm having a c section on the 11th September and I've decided to renovate my bedroom 🤦🏽‍♀️. Hopefully this time next week I'll be done with the bedroom and can sort the baby's crib. I have ordered some bits for my hospital bag and I have washed baby's clothes too. X

Most advice says to have your hospital bag packed at 34 weeks so I did mine at 34 weeks ☺️ nursery is about 90% ready, just finishing touches

I’m so unorganised but I’m going on maternity leave this Tuesday afternoon so I’ll finish it off then unless my baby has other ideas. I can feel them moving down more 😂

Baby due end of September, suitcase almost finished . Buggy has been ordered not set up - still have a few bits to get over the next 3/4 weeks
