Hi!!! Just wondering how many weeks pregnant you should be when you pack the bag and put in the car seat?
My wife is 31 weeks. Also, what things went into that bag? Is there anything you wish you brought along?
Thanks!
Answer
IM 38 WEEKS I JUST PUT MINES IN TODAY....AND THEY HAVE CHECKLIST ONLINE BUT MOST OF THE HOSPITALS HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED JUST BRING CHANGE OF CLOHTES BUT I PACKED ALMOST EVERYTHING ON THE LIST.
For your partner/labor coach
⢠Money for parking and change for vending machines.
⢠A few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant.
⢠A change of clothes.
⢠Some snacks and something to read during the early stages.
⢠A camera/video camera with memory card and batteries (or film or tape). Someone has to document the big event! (Note: Not all hospitals allow videotaping of the birth itself, but there's usually no rule against taping during labor or after the birth.)
⢠A bathing suit. If your partner wants to take a bath or shower during labor, you may want to jump in with her.
Postpartum
⢠A fresh nightgown, if you prefer to wear your own.
⢠Snacks! After many hours of labor, you're likely to be pretty hungry, and you don't want to have to rely on the hospital's food. So bring your own â crackers, fresh or dried fruit, nuts, granola bars, or whatever you think you'll enjoy. A bottle of nonalcoholic champagne might be fun for celebrating, too.
⢠A nursing bra, breast pads, and maternity underwear. Chances are, whatever underwear you do wear the first few days will get stained, even with sanitary pads (which the hospital provides).
⢠Your address book and prepaid phone card or cell phone. After the baby's born you'll want to call family and friends to let them know the good news. Some hospitals don't allow cell phones to be used in the labor and delivery area, so you may want to ask about it ahead of time.
⢠A going-home outfit. Bring something roomy and easy to get into (believe it or not, you'll probably still look 5 or 6 months pregnant ) â along with a pair of flat shoes. The last thing you'll be worrying about when you go home is whether your outfit is fashionable.
For your baby
⢠An infant car seat. You can't drive your baby home without one! In fact, you'll want to have the seat properly installed ahead of time, and you'll want to know exactly how to correctly buckle in your baby.
⢠A going-home outfit (one-piece stretchy outfits are easiest) and a snowsuit if it's very cold. Include a pair of socks or booties if the outfit doesn't have feet.
⢠A receiving blanket (a heavy one if the weather's cold)
⢠A cap (although they'll usually give you one at the hospital)
⢠Baby nail clippers or emery board. "The hospital where my son was born didn't supply clippers for fear of liability, and as a result my son gouged his face before he was 12 hours old," says Jen Morin of Vancouver, British Columbia.
What not to bring
⢠Jewelry
⢠Lots of cash, credit cards, or any other valuables
⢠Work. Yes, we actually know fast-track types who have sent business e-mails from the hospital room, made work-related phone calls, and reviewed spreadsheets. But we don't recommend it.
