Pack of ST's (hidden from my robbing daughters)

[analiza]

We had ours finally packed since we got full term at 37 weeks. But weve been ready since about 34 weeks. Any earlier than that is wishfully thinking, but you never know!!

Aw bless you hun you're proper organised this time!

I haven't even thought about a hospital bag, I'm hoping for another home birth but will probably pack a bag at about 36 weeks just in case, and because iI found it useful to have everything I may need in 1 place anyway.

 

[sam96031]

well i've written a list and think i've thought of most except a birth plan haven't even made one yet. want to get packed as we only got to 30 weeks last time .
maybebaby i had packed this early last time as i was so excited and its a good job really

 

[lea m]

I packed mine because I was just bored lmao! I still have forever left yet but at least its done! heehee

I've bought an over-night bag but haven't put anything in it. I'll probably wait until after my 35 week consultant appointment and then do it. I'm hoping by then I'll have got round to buying things like nappies and knickers

 

[peanut1982]

I started making a list of things to get a few weeks ago then misplaced it, must get organised and pack it soon! The weeks just seem to be passing so quickly.

I packed mine at the weekend, although have some little bits to put in still.

i have packed:

2 nighties (one for the actual birth - one for after!)
slippers
socks
a few pairs of ladies 'boxers' - dont fancy wearing the disposable pants so bought some of them from Primark!
breast pads
maternity pads
toothbrush/toothpaste
shampoo
deodrant
soap
hairdryer
hot water bottle

think that's it up to now i am also going to be packing my dressing gown, once OH gets it out of garage (from when we moved back to OHs parents - still in a black bag ) and im definately packing some peanut M&Ms for after the birth mmmmMMMMM and some sweeties!!

 

[Noor~ul~Usman]

I did mine 2days ago but I've kept it pretty basic (don't intend on being in the birthing unit too long lol )

For baby:
3x size 1 pampers nappies
1x pack sensative babie wipes
1x pair scratch mits
1x sleep suit (small baby up to 7lb) - just in case
1x sleep suit (newborn up to 11lb)
2x jumpers (again a small baby and a newborn size)
1x hat

1x Fleece blanket and 1x cotton blanket (if he's early will have to get hubby to pick up a moses basket from home for transport but if he's on time we will have the travel system by then and wrap him up in the car seat )

For me:
1x digital camera
1x MP3 player
1x book to read
5x maternity pads
3x pairs of breast pads
1x hair brush and bobble

When the time arrives I will just make sure I grab one of my nice cheapie nighties and either go in clean clothes or pack some

[edit] deoderant sounds like a good idea actually! How could I miss that!?

OH has a bigger bag than me to take, he brought a big bag especially (Im just using what will be my changing bag) to accommodate all the gadgets he aparently needs who knew that when in labour a lap top, psp and external hard drive are essential kit

sounds like something my DH will do lol

 

[CH0C0H0LIC]

I'm going to be kept in for a while apparently so I guess I've got to pack an initial bag for me and baby and then I'm going to pack some reserve bags so OH can just pick it up and bring it in as I need them.

Found out that they will induce me at 38weeks if not dropped by then due to diabetes so best think about packing pretty soon!

I'm taking all the usual stuff plus cashpoint cards (can't have OH spending what he likes while I'm away lol) and my list of bills so I can give OH all his jobs from my hospital bed!!! He won't remember what has to be paid and when and I'd like to come home to gas and electricity still connected and no bailiffs taking my tv and pc!!!!
