Im 32 weeks and just packed my bags. I'm taking my own pillow and blanket. An air matress for my husband so he doesn't have to sleep in a chair. My bag has (2) pairs of pj's, house shoes, panties, a comfy outfit to go home in, (2) towels, a pair of cheap flip flops to wear in the shower. It grosses me out thinking about all the funk that's been in that shower and my bare feet touching it LoL!  Nipple cream, breast pads, (2) nursing bras, all my toiletries, and a phone charger & iPad. I packed (2) outfits for baby (2) blankets (2) socks and wipes cause my hospital doesn't provide them, and car seat.

I like to pack the least amount so I am just using hospital gowns and such and baby will stay in hospital clothes until we leave most likely. It also depends if your breastfeeding or not. I have stuff to occupy me because labor can be long and boring and I have to stay in the hospital for 2 nights for policy. For the baby I have wipes and diapers listed but I just have the diaper bag completely ready for outings so I dont need to change things up afterwards.

For me: toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, wash cloth, hair brush, hair ties, lanolin, nursing pads, pads, going home clothes, phone charger, phone, head phones, tablet, tablet charger, cards, book, towel (my last pregnancy the OB recommended I bring my own because they have small towels for the hospital), cash/change (vending machine), make up, deodorant, and wallet.

For hubby: Phone charger, shampoo/body wash, towel, razor, shaving cream, head phones, book, clothes, phone, and deodorant.

Baby: Car seat, outfit (size and weather options), diapers, wipes, first aid kit, blanket, binkies, and socks.

I had mine, baby, and boyfriend packed by 30weeks, there no real good time to have them pack but you really never know when baby going to come I liked to be ready! Also call the hospital and find out what they provide for you... Because I over packed and we honestly just had to much stuff there!
