So I have a dear friend who is expecting her third baby any day now. I was talking to her today and I wanted to remind her to pack something I'd given her on Saturday. (In fairness, she asked me to remind her so that she wouldn't forget it!) She said, "Don't worry! It's in the pile of stuff for the labor bag." This really made me chuckle.
The funny thing is, this is exactly what happens when you've been through this before. There are no check lists typically involved. You don't pack at week 34 or even week 36. You simply have a pile of stuff that should probably get shoved into a bag at some point in early to active labor, lest one of you forget it. It's just the product of having a baby before.
If you're a second or more time mom, is this how you pack? Share your secrets in the comments.
