I'd get ready in the next few weeks by 36 weeks for sure you never know he could come early it's better to have your bags waiting there for weeks then not have them ready at all! what to bring: toothbrush/paste, hair bursh, any make up you'd like to have if you would like to look presentable and get rid of the dark circles under your eyes before you have any visitiors!, $$ for you husband to eat, bathrobe, comfy pj's unless you plan on wearing hospital gowns ( which i don't reccomed), slippers, a book/mag., care seat, baby clothes to take baby home in, maybe a few DVD's
Congrats hun,.they do say pack 2 weeks before due but id pack now as anything can happen can be useful to have two bags: one for labour and one for your hospital stay afterwards. Labour bag Include: a clean T-shirt or front-opening nightie, dressing gown and slippers - plus bed socks if you have a tendency to get cold feet drinks and snacks for you and whoever's going to be with you a small facial sponge, for dabbing and sucking on body oil, fine talcum powder or lotion for back rubs music tapes/CDs and a battery-operated player a hairband and brush, soap, towel and flannel, toothbrush and paste, other toiletries as desired maternity pads (night-time sanitary pads will do) and knickers Keep a water spray in the fridge until you leave for hospital. It's great for gentle cool-downs during labour. You might also want to take a camera or camcorder. Check with the hospital first, as some units don't allow filming. Hospital bag Include: a front-opening nightie (easier for breastfeeding) comfy clothes (such as a tracksuit and T-shirts) sandals or easy-fitting footwear knickers and maternity pads for heavy bleeding after birth nursing bras (at least two, as you can get sweaty in hospital and if your milk comes early your bra may get wet) towels (take one or two - your partner can bring in extras if you're required to stay longer) toiletries and cosmetics breast pads (to absorb leaks of colostrum and milk) phone card/coins (you can't use mobile phones in hospital) magazines and books writing materials personal music player/radio biscuits and snacks favourite breakfast cereal favourite tea bags fruit juice/mineral water nightie and nappies for the baby Remember, you'll need clothing for you and your baby to travel home in, although someone can bring that in once you've had your baby.good luck
