When is the best time to pack the hospital bag?
You can never tell exactly when you are going into labor, so start packing your bag when you are 32-34 weeks or so
WHAT'S THE BEST BAG TO USE AS THE HOSPITAL BAG?
A duffel bag is great to use as your hospital bag with enough space to pack all your things in. Dad can use a backpack. You'll probably have visitors coming by to see you guys at the hospital and they will bring gifts. So pack a small collapsible bag as well, just in case you need to pack all those gifts.
