Hi Stephanie!

I think that I packed them(or my mom did, because I was on bedrest!) at 34 weeks. I think it just depends on your situation.

 

Great Question? Can I add on? I was wondering about packing a diaper bag for the hospital and what I will need in it.. We will be there at least 3-5 days as it will be a csection?? Do I need clothes for all those days, blankets, bottles (just in case)??

 

I was packed for myself at about 28 weeks, although I delivered at 39 weeks. For the babies, the hospital should supply what you need during your stay. I packed coming home outfits, blankets, and their baby books so I could get their feet and hand prints done when they were done for their birth record.

 

You can pack your bag whenever. It never hurts to have it ready.

As for the babies, the hospital supplies everything you will need. The only thing you will need to bring is your carseat and an outfit to take them home in.

 

I just packed mine. I packed outfits for the babies. Most of the diaper bag stuff is provided by the hospital and you pay for it anyway so use theirs. I did pack a few blankets because the ones at the hospital are so crunchy.

 

thanks for the information...i was thinking the same time frame around 28weeks which ill be tomorrow anyways, again thanks for the info...
