Q: Is It To Early To Pack Bags???

Februaury 28th I will be picking up my husband from the airport, he will only be home until March 8th. His job takes him to Clarksville, TN while my job leave me here at Fort Lewis, WA. The next time he comes home will be mid July when I'm ready to give brith. I was wondering if now would be a bad time to pack our baby bag just incase something where to happen and I'd have to take myself to the hospital or her come early (which I hope not) but being home alone I've been kinda worrying about this, I just want to be ready and not caught off guard. What do you ladies think ?

Thanks! I think we will at least pack her bag and then just organize ours but wait on packing incase a obstacle pops up I at least know I will be ready!!!

I'm active duty military so Im trying to stay working until it's show time bc if not it'll take days off of my maternity leave, which would be ok bc I have leave that could replace it but I'm trying to save those for holidays and etc. I think that's the only reason I'm staying on my toes and ahead of the ball game and bc my husband isn't home

You are so ahead of the curve. I think there is no such thing as too early if it makes you feel better go for it! I'm 36 weeks and just made my hospital bag lists this weekend. I haven't actually packed them yet. But this is my last week of work, so I'll get them packed next week when I get to spend some time alone at home. I've worked so much this pregnancy and my pre-schooler at home doesn't allow much down time. So things like preparing for baby have taken a back seat. It's not my preference, but you can't do everything. At least baby is still allowing me the time to organize and pack later.

Thank you! I think that's what I'll do instead. Instead packing I'll just organize that way when it's time to grab I know where it's all at.

I don't see the harm in being prepared - especially if it's going to mean less stress for you!

I haven't personally packed mine yet (I'm 30 weeks) but plan on starting to gather stuff together soon. I won't put some items in it until closer to my due date - things like clothes (which I don't want to smell like they've been sitting in a bag for months) and food, etc.
