My dr said anytime after 24 weeks to go ahead and pack a hospital bag. Since I am 27 1/2 I took her advice but I am running into 2 issues:
1. A few things I want to bring I registered for so I want to wait for my shower so I don't double buy.
2. Some of the clothes I want to take...I still want to wear for at least a little bit
I really haven't started the babies bag because I do have a 'coming home' outfit that needs to be washed and that is the only cute newborn outfit I have. I haven't been buying newborn size because I don't think I will need that many and I don't know what I will get at the shower. I think for the 'newborn size' I will just need onesies and blankets. I also think I will have a big baby (just a feeling) so just in case I get a few newborn size outfits at the shower...I want to wait until then to find out.
So I packed as far as I can today. I plan on doing a hospital bag video but I need to be a little further along.
I am not too worried because so far I really haven't had any problems: no cramping, no bleeding, things along those lines.
I really don't feel the baby move much, I wish I did. I feel a movement or two a day at the most. I did speak with my doctor about this and she said not to worry about it. She said if I felt a lot of movement and then it slowed...she would be worried, but since it has always been the same not to worry..but I do. I also lost a little weight between my July and August appointment but I got a sonogram last Thursday and they said my baby was a week ahead so that is weird?

Wow! I thought I was OCD packing at 34 weeks! (and having the car seat installed!) I packed way too much that I didn't need. I didn't take ANY clothes to wear home- I had a cute pajama set with a tank top, pants, and robe. You won't feel like wearing regular clothes, trust me! I really only needed some toiletries. I took a bunch of stuff like labor props, snacks, books, etc, and never used any of it. Don't forget the camera!
ReplyDeleteFor T, I had a few outfits (he was almost 8 lbs and wore NB clothes til 6 weeks), a blanket, a burp cloth, a hat for pictures, a coming home outfit, and that's about it. The hospital provides most everything. You may want a car seat cover since it will be November.
Good luck :)
