I packed mine while my water was in the middle of breaking, HA! That was fun. Lesson learned, do it BEFORE 35 weeks! I'll probably pack one around 30 weeks this time. ;)

Our hospital recommended you be packed by 36 weeks just in case, but we just finished packing ours now and I'm almost 39 weeks. I packed clothes for after delivery (robe, tanks, pj pants, nursing bras) since I plan on wearing a hospital robe for labor since I don't want clothes to get super yucky. I also packed looser underwear and big cloth pads since I don't use disposables, Clothes for hubby and two outfits for baby to come home. Also have a bag of snacks for hubby during labor and for me after delivery, nursing pillow, phone charger and toiletries. It all fits in a rolling carry on except the nursing pillow.

For all my pregnancies I waited til I was close to the end, I packed a nighty, something comfy to come-on in, pads because the ones at the hospital aren't all that, my phone charger, outfit for baby to take pics and going home outfit for baby, also I did bring beauty products (makeup, brush, lip gloss) because I wanted to be cute at all times lol. Anyways What u pack is up to u

With my first two I packed it at 37 weeks. All you really need is a nightgown if you do not want to wear the hospital gown, something to go home in for you and baby, I took breast pads, shampoo etc. and anything you want for while you are in labor.

We just packed ours this weekend, I'm due tomorrow. We're just now finally getting moved into our new place though. We've had the baby bag packed for two or three weeks.
