when should I start packing a hospital bag and what needs to be in it first time mom and just had the realization I only…

I'd save up some quarters and put them in a zip lock or something for snacks. and magazines, go to the dollar tree, (body wash,toothpaste,toothbrush, and brush) what ever to make you feel comfy, and keep them in a bag so you/baby daddy/family doesn't have to search around house for everything you need.

i am going to be a single mom, and I don't count on people buying anything for me or baby at shower. so I went and bought the essentials. cause you can never have to much.

but if you can afford it, I'd go get a few things, just so you can feel semi-prepared. and if you don't get everything at your baby shower than you don't have much more to get. but you will leave the hospital with blankets, and much much more.

I'm just scared I'm going to have her weeks early, so I'm prepared if I do.

@jessika0610, well my baby shower is April 30 and my mom told me not to buy anything until after the shower so I literally have nothing I bought and a few things that my mom have given me from her friends and stuff but I don't have a lot so should I wait till after the shower then pack my bag?

I'm a first time mommy. and I'm almost 30 weeks. and my diaper bag has been packed since I was 20 weeks, even went and bought extra charger/slippers/robe just for the hospital.

But I am a first time mom too so I actually googled what to pack also lol . I'm even making a list for my bf to do stuff for me as I'm in the hospital

Yeah you have a little time you would know when it's time to pack . Don't worry too much about it .

@chinkalink, I'll be 29 weeks wed

Google or Pinterest! I found a bunch of very helpful infographics on Pinterest that list everything you could possibly need to bring with you - for you & baby!

That's probably why your mom said you still have time because you haven't yet dropped . But it's always nice to get things ready early . And how far are you ? I just got my bag packed yesterday and I have 4 more weeks

@chinkalink, I have no idea I mean I guess I'm still pretty high up there but then again last check up I went to he was in breech position so I don't know if he will turn or stay that way and if he stays breech I don't want him to come at a complete surprise and me not be ready ha no wonder I can't sleep too much thinking for me

Is your stomach already dropping ?

I Made My Baby Bag 2 Weeks Ago, But I Had Everything I Needed Way Before So As Long As You Have The Needs You Can Take Your Time...
