when did you pack your bags?

with my 1st, I packed my bags at about 30 weeks, but labour never happened anyhow I went 7 days overdue. I will do the same this time at around 30 weeks, ya never know if or when its going to happen best to be prepared, Id hate to try n pack my bags for hospital while I was in labour, or even worse rely on my hubby to pack everything I needed - Lord knows what Id find in my bags when I got to hospital haha.

First baby - didn't pack a thing...I still had heaps of time right?! Wrong! Went into labour at 36 weeks and ran around the house like a lunatic in the middle of the night throwing whatever I could lay my hands on into a bag. Forgot everything I really needed, and my DH and mother spent the next 3 days bringing it up to me

Second baby - learned my lesson. Bags were all packed at 34 weeks. Baby didn't come until 38 weeks but hey - I was ready

The stuff that you want to keep using - make a list and leave it on top of your bag (you'll need one for things like mobile phone charger, toiletries etc anyway) and just throw those things in when you leave.
