I had mine packed at around 30 weeks with both. My second pregnancy I wanna say closer to 25 weeks because I had pre term labor starting at 20 weeks. I also went into labor at 37 weeks with my first, and same with my second. So I'm sure ill pack around 30 weeks again!

I had mine ready and in the trunk at 35 weeks you never know and it's better to have it done and out of the way than be running around trying to throw it together if your water breaks at 36 weeks.
