when did everybody pack their hopsital bag and wash clothes?

[winnie89]

I wrote my list for what I need to take to hospital with me, and I wondered when every body started to pack theirs I'm thinking when I hit 35 weeks + (when I start my maternity) and when to wash the LO's clothes?

 

[l_maclean]

I've not done either yet. Gonna start washing clothes next week though - cos im now on mat leave. xxx

 

[Hunnie]

Finished baby's bag completely tonight but still need to put things in mine own like towel,make up and clothes for going home in

 

[Sleepy sue]

I've started putting things in a bag now, all my family were early Inc me by 8 weeks. So don't want to be taken by surprise xx

 

[Lulabell]

I started my bag at about 32 weeks but finished it yesterday. Started washing babies clothes only a few days ago. Didn't want to do it too early as wanted them as fresh as possible.xx

 

[x_larlybelle_x]

I'm doing my bag over the next couple of weeks. Gonna wash the clothes coming to the hospital with me soon so I can pack them but apart from that I'm gonna wash everything when I go on mat leave at the end of this month x

 

[vampybear]

im gonna start this wkend ( i will be 30 wks), putting the stuff in there that i wont need right now (e.g. towels, snacks etc and then have a list of bits that need to be added to it on the day (or wk leading up to due date) as i dont want to be caught short if it starts early

 

[winnie89]

Thanks I'm thinking if I wash the 0-3 stuff when I finish work because some of it's new and some is from a charity shop's then wait and wash his newborn stuff a couple of weeks before he's born because I wanna wasj all the moses basket stuff and the lining to his pram and car seat (as they were both second hand)

I have started mine as had a little scare the other day. Plus have got a little scared by some early ladies on here. I hate not being prepared and my son was a 36 wk emergency c-sec so leaving nothing to chance. x

I've washed clothes, not blankets yet. I'm only packing baby stuff and labour stuff. Will make a list of things to bring for myself. Worst case scenario just chuck a few babywipes nappies and clothes in a bag and run, baby will live and so will I, hospital gowns are sexy!

 

[JensBump]

Currently washing baby clothes Will pack my hospital bags today - list all ready to start ticking off

 

[hugsy]

Didnt even know we needed to wash the baby clothes till this week when there been a few treadsa bout it

Need to catch up on my backlog of washing from christmas when i done nothing lol then will do all the baby bits

Did you end up with a massive list?

I was shocked at how long it was

 

[Cazza]

DO IT NOW!!!

I had been lazy about mine and babys bags but after yesterdays scare wish I'd done it weeks ago!!

Even if you just have a provisional bag of essentials at least you'll have soimething to grab!!

 

[Maybe_mummy]

I have washed some spare bedding and also vest and stuff and some sleep suits as Im going in at 37 weeks to be induced and I wont start maternity leave till last moment. Im going to make a start on my bags this weekend as well as i would rather be over preppared rather than under if you get what I mean XX

 

[Rachel1509]

Gonna do mine around week 33-34

 

[GregorysGirl]

I hadnt even considered it till my xmas eve scare. Convinced he/she will make an early appearance now!

Got bubs bag ready - nappies, wipes, cotton wool balls, nappy cream, just need 2 sleepsuits n 'coming home' outfit n snow suit when they r washed.

Got my bag sorted all bar underwear, make up (as I needit in the meantime), 'coming home' outfit.

Need to test drive carseat in car too - might even leave it set up in there.

Baby towel wraps, blankets n sleepsuits are being done gradually - got a fab deal one non-bio on Tuesday.

Gonna stick a list on the fridge od last min things, phone charger, slippers, change for parking (although might pack that now), etc etc.

Makes it seem very real
