When did you pack your bags?
I had 3 dreams the other night that I was in labor and woke up realizing
that my bags aren't packed at all and I don't have much prepared in the way of "gotta run out the door and get to the hospital" things. I'm due in 4.5 weeks...when did you all pack your bags? I don't remember when I packed with Laszlo, but I know it was somewhat in advance (don't think it was this early) and then he came 11 days early. In my psychotic mind, I'm also thinking that if I pack now, I'll jinx myself into being 2 weeks late! :-) I'm a little nuts these days! - Jen, momma to the 2 year old Laszlo Cooper and Lily Parker, due March 13 |

I ended up being admitted at that appointment and she was born that night! With #2 - wishful thinking, also for my 38 week appointment. He was scheduled the day before my due date. With #3 - I knew when we were having him (39 weeks) packed the night before. |

When did you pack your bags?
With #1, I wasn't ready because she was two weeks early. But, my water broke
with her and I didn't have any contractions until about 8 hours later. I had to wash some stuff and get things ready. I had plenty of time though. With #2, I had a bag packed before the two weeks before I had the first child, but she came five days late. I definitely was ready for this child if she came early. ) With #3, I had a bag packed probably 1-2 weeks before hand. She came a day early. I was also ready with everying at that point. -- Sue (mom to three girls) I'm Just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World... New York Jen wrote in message . net...

A week ago when I was having contractions, about 1hour before we went to the hospital. LOL! Some of it is still packed but I'll re-pack when the contractions start getting more intense again. -- Brigitte aa #2145 edd #3 February 15, 2004 http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/j/joshuaandkaterina/ "Readers are plentiful; thinkers are rare." ~ Harriet Martineau |

If you are only a *little* nuts this close to delivery, you are doing way better than most. I had my bag packed and stowed in the car about 4 weeks before my delivery date. But I'm the tiniest bit obsessive, so don't use me as a model for that. FWIW, you really don't need anything, so, although I'm not recommending this, if you do happen to end up at the hospital without a bag, that wouldn't be a huge crisis. I mean, someone can be sent out for bottled water, socks and luna bars, you know? Best wishes, and great luck. How close are you, exactly? Donna |

I think when I was about 38 weeks I suddenly had a revelation - I mean, I'd been on bedrest and in mortal fear of premature delivery for so *very* long, and then I was off bedrest and actually experiencing a 'lug around the belly' pregnancy at last, and somewhere around 38 weeks I looked at my husband and said, my god, what do I take to the hospital? So I did a google search, found some lists, and put together a bag. Then it sat there for another week and a half. --angela |

If your ob/gyn or midwife ever tells you at a routine prenatal checkup, "Your blood pressure is a little high," start carrying a toothbrush and a small bag of emergency essentials with you whenever you go to another checkup, because you never know when your provider will decide that you have to be checked for preeclampsia. My doctor started talking about preeclampsia when I was about 7 months pregnant, and I knew from this newsgroup, even though my doctor didn't talk about it, that suspicion of preeclampsia could land me in the hospital for observation without any warning. I felt foolish carrying around a nightgown and a toothbrush to every subsequent checkup, but I almost used it at 32 weeks, when I went in for half a day of observation, and then I did use it at week 36, when I went in to have my daughter. |

After my waters broke with #1 and #3 (I actually only packed a "just in case" bag with #3 and regretted it because I'd forgotten a few essentials - like my _camera_!) and when my induction was scheduled for #2. Most people don't get that much warning so packing it now is probably not a bad idea. I keep duplicates of some stuff for travel anyway so it wouldn't be hard for me to have my toiletries and so forth packed for a few weeks. -- Cheryl Mum to DS#1 (11 Mar 99), DS#2 (4 Oct 00) and DD (30 Jul 02) |
