When goin in for labor do i need to pack a bag?

Yes: If you are scheduled for an induction or you think you might be in labor, you should definitely pack a bag of clothes. I suggest actually packing your bag around 36 weeks and leaving at the front door so you can grab it on the way out whenever you leave for the hospital. Good luck!

Yes: It is helpful to have some personal items with you, such as a favorite picture or item that may help you relax and focus during labor, you can also consider packing headphones and music. A pijama and a robe for after delivery as well as your essential toiletries.
