Hospital Bag!!

[Jaidy]

From how many weeks pregnant did you mummies have you hospital bags packed??

Did you do one for baby and one for you??

Its just after my brief hospital stay this week it made me think about when I should do it!!

 

[nikki1306]

I have all the stuff but no bag ,i usually have mine packed by 36 weeks,but there is no harm in doing it now if you wanted. I am gonna do a bag for me and a bag for baby xx

 

[Rosieroo]

[bekki_16]

I packed mine about 30 weeks cos you never know if you will need a stay in hospital earlier. I did at 32 weeks with my bp.

 

[Miracle babe]

I packed one for me and one for baby by 32 weeks. Thats what it suggested in the book. Some books suggest packing two bags for you, one for during labour and one for after. Seems like a lot of hassle to me and you dont want to be laden down with bags when you go into labour but its worth a thought.

ive always had mine packed and by the door by around 32 weeks jade. You only have to take poor skatty as an example of why

I had one labour bag with the snack, drinks and a few baby clothes and nappies in. Then I also had my bag for the ward.

It's good idea to have a bag at home with your "extras" in so you OH doesn't have to struggle looking for more baby clothes and some more stuff for you if you unexpectedly have to stay in longer. I was stuck in for 4 days, I'm so glad I left all my extras stuff ready to go so OH could just grab it. I had more nappies, comfy clothes for me and Brody and a few more nice snacks etc

 

[violet-glow]

Urchin, did you use the snack and drinks bag when in labour?
All I took with me last time were energy tablets. Thinking of taking some goodies to eat while in labour and just afterwards. What sort of snacks did you pack? Sorry for bombarding you with questions chick

 

[budge]

i never ate during labour but i packed a bottle of orange squash to drink.
You can pack anything you fancy violet. Crisps/biscuits etc. You may find you don't want to eat though

With Mason I was in Labour for 24 hours, so did end up eating my bisuits and choclote and stuff. With Brody I was in full labour for about 5 hours, so not too bad, OH ate some of the snacks too though. I took loads of cartons of Ribena in, which was great. OH had to buy some for when I was on the ward cos all they give you is water.
