Hospital bag question

[RoxyLady]

When should you get it ready?
Im 32 weeks next week and maybe its time?

Advice appreciated

I'm 38 wks and have chucked some items in the general direction of a bag but I'm far from being ready. Think I might do it today actually.

im 25 weeks and have had a bag ready for about 6 weeks.
ive been in and out of hospital from early on in previous pregnancies so am taking no chances

Had a homebirth, mw sternly reminded me to pack the 'just in case' bag every time I saw her from 31 weeks on.

Eventually packed it at 39+5, the day before DS was born. It was v quick, easy and boring. (It is also completely worth doing for a homebirth too, not just because of possible transfer but so everything is in one easy place after.)

WeeS - I used dispos with DC1 and normal with DC2, will be taking a mix tbh, handy thing about dispos is that you don't need to bend to get them off, just rip em off at the sides :D

Laides, mind and pack an outift to wear when you are discharged too! I went in with dc1 in nighty and dressing gown, no bra... and had to come home in that too as nobody had packed one and nobody thought to bring me anything, was rather embarassing!!

I packed some jersey trousers, black vest top, super stretchy soft bra and a long cardigan for the trip home.

Leggings, vest top and cardi for going home in for me. My pregnancy attire pretty much!

Just to give you an idea, I'm normally a 12, been wearing size 14 knickers post 15 weeks or so of pregnancy, but at 38/39 weeks the comfiest is a size 16! so now I can understand why people on MN were suggesting two sizes up, and three weeks ago I thought that was ludicrous!
