I don't even bother packing a bag. Baby #4 this time around and from past experiences, the hospital I'm going to provides dang near everything but the car seat and clothes for my baby to go home in. I'm not the girly girl so I don't care if my hair is done or if I have makeup. I'll take a shower and brush my teeth but that's about it so no need to really get things ready.
I will be 37 weeks on Tuesday and I packed the baby's bag yesterday. I will pack my bag hopefully tomorrow. I went into labor last time at 37 weeks so I want to be prepared.
I'm a few days away from 37 weeks and am slowly getting my bag packed. Most days I'm too exhausted to walk around stores to find everything I need, so I suggest packing before you get to that point.
I'm 34wks, i have mine almost all the way packed. I just need a few more things.
I started at 36 weeks ..and I've been slowly adding things now at 38 weeks
I'm 34 weeks with baby 5. I never pack until I recognize early labor. If this is your first, I'd pack before then. Usually around 37 weeks.
