Quick question - when did you pack your hospital bag?
I am 29 weeks, so I feel like I have ages to go but on the other hand I would hate to be caught short if something unexpected happens!
Thanks!

I started to get mine ready about 25 weeks, just as well as ds arrived at 32 weeks lol

I'd say around 36 weeks too.

I'm 34+3 with no3 and I've always packed my bag then.

I always tend to have mine ready for about 32 weeks, but then im a bit of a control freak like that! To the extent when pregnant with Rebecca (33weeks), my DH and I went to Butlins for a week while Dad had Jessica, and I took my hospital bag AND car seat!

If you have everything bought and ready, I dont see the harm in having a bag ready - I repacked mine every 2 weeks til the day before I had Rebecca anyway!

Whatever makes you feel happy. I packed mine at 32 weeks but I was itching to do it beforehand. Once it was packed I could relax.Its nice to know it's there if I need it and it's one less thing to think about!
