*checks boobs and belly*

does it count if a tent has been pitched in your bellymaking it look bigger?

Maybe I should start packing anyway! ]]> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 20:18:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=63001&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#63001 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=62990&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#62990 Author: jack_&_charli

Um I packed a suitcase on the Monday (had Andrew on the Friday morning). I ended up being put back in hospital (never had anything the first time packed and was allowed to go home to get stuff) and not allowed to leave (they were sure I was going to do a runner and not come back). I was glad I packed the suitcase when I did as I was in hospital for over a week.  ]]> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 18:29:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=62978&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#62978 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=62959&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#62959 Author: caraMel

Good point on the shirts and deodorant for hubby, I'll agree completely, NSH was super toasty... I hated that because it made it hard to sleep...

something we didnt think of that i will pack this time, is a couple of changes of shirts for hubby, and deoderant for hubby - hospitals are really hot places, and mine was always sweltering, esp after labour. and if you are there for a while he may need some changes :)]]> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 16:14:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=62924&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#62924 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=62921&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#62921 Author: Paws

Just a quick note, we packed snacks for during labour, but I didn't end up being all that interested in food... and ultimately couldn't keep it down ! The most important thing is to keep up your fluids, so don't forget to pack a water bottle too.

I packed my bags around 36 weeks though, I think ! Hehe. Didn't use half the stuff I packed either, at least not until well afterwards, oddly enough.

I ended up having some things brought to me too, and also had three bags really, one for me, one for baby, and one for hubby ! Mind you, I stayed a bit longer than most - five days all up.]]> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 16:04:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=62916&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#62916 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=62914&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#62914 Author: Anna

I packed mine after my waters broke...

But then again, I did have to send Andy home after Quinn was born to get important things like the car seat and baby clothes!

I have never been particularly organised.]]> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 16:03:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=62914&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#62914 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=62912&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#62912 Author: kellverona

I haven't done it yet. I got some stuff ready though, before deciding that we might go for a home birth.

hmmmm....it's on my list of things to do (along with have the windows cleaned, get my legs waxed and a few other things). You generally have notice of when you are in labour (in most cases) and can throw stuff together before you go to the hospital and if necessary you can always send someone home to get things that you forgot (for the baby at least), but I would suggest having one ready from about 36 weeks. ]]> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 15:53:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=62906&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#62906 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=62902&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#62902 Author: my2angels

With both Kiya and Josiah I packed my bag at around 35 weeks... I'll probably do it at a similar stage again, depending on where I'll actually be giving birth (which I won't know until sometime in September)]]> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 15:31:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=62889&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#62889 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3332&PID=62888&title=when-to-pack-you-bag#62888 Author: EthansMummy
