Hospital bag

As soon as I have everything bought 🤣 I need to plan what I'm gonna bring baby home in 🤣

Packed mine at 32 weeks, it’s one less thing to have to think about and plan as I get closer to my due date 🫶🏼

Have started mine and adding to it as we get stuff sorted.

I dont normally pack till last minute 🙈🙈🤣🤣 but I literally had a dream last night I went in for emergency section so woke up kinda panicking so might think about doing it soon!

I'm buying the rest of my hospital stuff at the end of April when I'll be 31 weeks and I'll pack it the week after x so 32 weeks I'll be packing mine x

I’m planning on starting mine once I hit 30 weeks which is next month 🤷🏼‍♀️ x

I’m thinking around 30/32 weeks. But half the stuff I plan on wearing at hospital is stuff I wear day to day 😂 xx

I'm 27 weeks and it hadn't crossed my mind yet but two of my nieces were very early! So maybe soon. But I'm predicting I'll be late or they will suggest a c section due to my weight. Tbf I'll go with the flow! Xx

29 weeks tomorrow and starting to buy stuff now for the hospital bag, will probably try to pack it by 32 weeks

I like to be super organised 😂 so a lot of mines already packed. I plan to have a home birth but have packed a bag just incase I change my mind or have to be transferred. I’ve got a baby bag packed, a bag of my labour essentials, postpartum essentials and I will pack a bag for myself too where I’ll then put my two bags inside. So 2 bags total, 1 for me and 1 for baby. I’ll likely have another bag full of drinks and snacks ✨😝

I’m 30 weeks tomorrow and mines packed 🤣🤣 purely bcos I gave birth at 36 weeks with my first so just want to make sure I have everything ready this time😅 x

I’ve been buying the bits needed and a lovely bag itself (any excuse for a new bag eh?!) but need to organise it. I bought these handy organiser bags…to make it easier for me/birth partners to find the stuff we need! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0D8Q3P85S?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I'm aiming to be packed by 32 weeks so within the next 4 weeks. I've started buying bits for it recently xx

I was going to pack mine for 35 weeks, the comments above have made me consider starting sooner!

What are people putting in their bag and what's typical of the NHS to provide? I know that could vary from trust to trust. Thanks!

@Carly my local hospital don't provide anything really anymore. I think if you were desperate and in need they have some milk/bottles and nappies but it depends on which midwife/nurse you ask too. Majority tell you no I'll be taking nappies/wipes/vests/grows/home outfit/bibs/muslins/dummies/hats/scratch mitts. Clothes/pjs/wash stuff/tooth brush etc/hair brush/deod/towel/pads/breast pads/lots of knickers/bra/jacket Snacks/juice/chargers/lip balm/flannel All I can think of atm!
