I say pack around 36 weeks. I pack comfy clothes for me and my shower stuff toothbrush ect. I change of clothes is a good idea for your s.o. I take some of my favorite snacks for dad during delivery and me after. A take home outfit for baby. The hospital should provide everything else.... Diapers, pads, food snacks ( I like extra snacks I always get extra hungry.)

Congrats on hitting double digits! How early was your son?
I'm probably not going to pack a hospital bag until around 35 or 36 weeks since I was a mere four days early with my son and I'll change my mind about what's in there a million times between now and then.
