When should I start packing my hospital bag and what should I pack?

Your hospital should provide pretty much everything so I packed what I would be needing to for car ride home mostly and a little for the hospital. @caitlinmil

I put couple diapers to go home with and a small package of wipes. Going home outfit when another one just in case baby needs a change. Mittens and socks with a little beanie. Hand sanitizer. Small deal of shampoo and body wash for his bath. Pacifiers. A swaddle blanket. That's about it. :) @caitlinmil

I'm packing mine when I have three months left. A lot of people I know have been very early so I want to be prepared. This is the list I've compiled. Hope it's helpful

@justtkristin, what did you put in your diaper bag?

I packed the diaper back like beginning of October and I'm almost done with my hospital bag. 35 weeks yesterday so it really just depends on when you want to. No harm in doing it earlier so it's outta the way and off your shoulders. :)

i never wore the gown i wore my own clothes the entire time and for labor i only wore a sports bra and was naked the waist down and after i wore a tank top and leggings

@ramenmami, yeah same here! I brought my own shower stuff and took a shower. But I wore a hospital gown the whole time due to the heavy bleeding. Only wore sweats to go home in and my baby was swaddled in a blanket the whole time only put him in clothes to go home. I definitely over packed lol I barely used anything!

I literally didn't use anything I packed. except sweats to go home in and one outfit for my daughter to go home in
