When are you packing your hospital bag?
I'm 31 weeks but at risk for pre-term labor. Should I pack mine this early? Or is that silly?

Re: When are you packing your hospital bag?
Last time I was not prepared and broke my water at 37 weeks. I was running around throwing things into my bag. This time I plan to do it at 36 weeks.

Re: When are you packing your hospital bag?
I'm only 20 weeks and I'm already thinking of packing... I'll probably do it at 30 weeks, just so I don't feel stressed.

Re: When are you packing your hospital bag?
Im almost done packing mine at 36 weeks 3 days. I still need to throw in a few things but everything will be packed by Thursday (37 weeks exactly). If your at risk for preterm labor I would definitely pack it.

Re: When are you packing your hospital bag?
Im probably going to to start around 35 weeks. Although because I had the twins early (30 weeks) I've been going for weekly checkups since 24 weeks. If my cervix starts shortening or if my FFN comes back positive before 35 weeks then Ill pack right away.

Re: When are you packing your hospital bag?
I bought a lot of stuff for my hospital bag today, and I will pack it during this week after I wash everything. I am 36 weeks. 
ETA...I agree with the other girls, if you're high risk, it cant hurt to pack now!

Re: When are you packing your hospital bag?
Can't hurt to pack now. Better to be prepared.
The only advice I would give is to keep a list of what's in your bag, especially if you have more than one. I have one bag for labor & delivery and one for after the baby arrives. I packed a few weeks ago and now I can't remember what I put in each bag  Ahh, pregnancy brain...

Re: When are you packing your hospital bag?
If you're at risk for preterm labor, I'd pack now. I delivered before 32 weeks with no real notice so my DH had to go home and get everything. It worked out well, but I'd rather be prepared this time.
I'm 35 weeks and will be packing this week. I just washed baby's going home outfit and other accessories, plus my robe, pants, and nursing tanks. I will put all that in my bag, plus socks and a few other things.
Toiletries and camera/phone chargers will go in when I go into labor.

Re: When are you packing your hospital bag?
I'm 33 weeks tomorrow and I finished packing my baf yesterday. I don't think it's silly esp if you are at risk of pre term labor.
