EmmaReed84 (352.3 days ago) I kept having false alarms from at about 32 weeks, and had to have my contractions stopped at 33 weeks. The one thing i found most helpful was to have a main bag with your clothes, toothbrush, hairbrush, babys clothes etc...but also to have a small LABOUR bag and all i had in that was a labour nightie, socks, snacks, pads, one baby outfit, nappy, and a blanket. When in labour you can sometimes be moved about so carrying a huge hosp bag might not be practical. At least with a small bag you wont forget anything. Then once you are settled and have baby you can get some to bring up your main, or have it in the car ready for your partner to get it right away
