i would go ahead and pack it now....i went at 36 weeks...other suggestions for your bag...your own brand of Maxi Pads....(hated the hospital ones)..also dont forget your CAMERA and baby book (or a blank page for scrapbook for the baby's footprints!..i know here where i live the nurses will go ahead and stamp babys feet for you when they do the birth certificate at birth!) ...Hand sanitizer to keep at bedside for visitors! Also Boppy pillow if you have one...good luck!
