I was like Flea but in reverse. With no 1 I was told to be packed by 34 weeks, but I actually packed at 38 weeks. This was a psycological thing I think - before that I just wasn't "ready". With Tom I was going to pack on my first day of maternity leave. But he had other ideas and arrived at 36 weeks on what would have been my last day before maternity leave. I had no bag packed and a really quick labour so just grabbed the absolute basics on the way out the door - another set of undies, breast pads, maternity pads, one change of clothes and toiletries I think. DH brought the rest the next day. It didn't really matter though, by then we were pretty good at knowing what I'd need. But like Flea, no baby things were ready at home so poor DH had a busy week!
