I've had 2 bags (one for me, one for baby) sitting inside baby's cot which is currently being used as a storage "area" (hopeless) since around Christmas time. Over the last 8 weeks or so I've bought things here and there and just turfed them into each bag.

Am now 37 weeks and have promised myself I will pack each bag properly tomorrow, in case the big event happens early. Haven't packed snacks or anything in there yet, I'm not quite that organised.

The night before my c section at 40 weeks!

Eeeek I'm 29 weeks and have no idea what to even put in the bag. Best get researching and packing I suppose!!!

This is my first and I started packing mine 2 weeks ago. Mostly it is done now and I'm 33 weeks. Want it 100% finished by 36 weeks.

I'm nearly 37 weeks, have washed all the baby stuff and put it on top of the bag. So it's ready to be pack.

I've sorted my wash bag (full of minis) and new pj's for afterwards. But that's it....!!! Big granny pants in the wash as I type..Smile

I packed mine at 36 weeks after hubby insisted. :O

I started packing around 35 weeks and made sure I had everything in the house that I would need. Then I made a list of everything else that still needed to go in. Loads of things had to be packed at the last minute because I used them up until I went to the hospital. I'm doing the same this time around.

At 38 weeks, just after my waters went and we were waiting for the taxi to take us to the hospital Grin

I had all the stuff, just not in one place.

I'll need to better organised this time, because I'll be running around trying to sort out childcare for DS.

Not yet packed at 39+5 but I now have everything I need (just bought half price big knickers from sainsburys at weekend). I'll probably pack wednesday as I'll have finished going to work and DS1 will be in nursery.

I did mine at 30 weeks because we were moving at the time. DD1 came along at 38 weeks, so I was glad I was at least a little bit prepared!

LifeOfKate · 31/01/2011 16:53

I did mine at 35 weeks at DH's insistence. DS was 2 weeks overdue Hmm

This time I'm going to see how long I can leave it, might tempt fate a bit :o
