When to pack hospital bag?

[vixforever]

I keep wondering when I should start to do it, I know what I need. Just not sure when to start packing it, lol xx

I think I started around 30 weeks. Just getting a few little bits and bobs here and there. Ive literally only just finished getting everything for it though lol. I like to think im organised but in reality...Im an arthur lol.

Il pack my proper bag at 30+ weeks but I'm gonna pack a toiletry bag now,I've always had an overnight hospital stay at some point in all my pregnancies and my oh is useless at gettin my things together so i'm gonna pack the essentials,make up,deodorant,tooth stuff,brush etc now then he can just grab it and fetch it 4 me if he needs to,and if I don't need it then it's already packed 4 my labour bag xx

I have 2 bags, 1 for me and one for Lilly and I'm ashamed to say that they've been fully packed for about 3 weeks! All I need to do is put PJs in my bag as I don't know how big i'm going to get (I still don't have much in the way of a bump so hoping that it stays that way) and replace the terry nappies in Lilly's bag. I've come to the conclusion that just whilst i'm in hospital i'd prefer to use disposables for the convenience and wait untill i get home to get started with the re-usables.

My mum has just phoned me and told me that she has spent £80 on baby 'stuff' like wipes, talcum powder, bum cream and toiletries XD And it's all pink! She said she's gone and cleaned the shop out of every pink baby toiletry aged 0-3 months in the shop!! She's so exited bless her!! So I think anything that I'm missing, she will have though of, lol.
