I packed mine like at 37 weeks. My babies never wanted to come early, so I didn't see any sense packing too early.

I had my hospital bag packed two weeks before my EDD. I had to have it ready because I stayed with a friend until Matthew came home from deployment. So it sat ready for three weeks before I had to use it.

Savannah and Gabe were a month early, so DH had to bring it to me later. Chris, the night before my c-section! LOL

I had the daiper bag ready to go early just cause I get so excited!! My hospital bag with the first was packed when my water broke since I was 35 weeks. After that baby it was always packed early:giggle With Taniyah it sat forever since I made it all the way to 39 weeks.

With Mara I had it packed about a month early when she dropped.

With Morgan, I never did. If I needed something while I was in there I sent Joe home for it. We live so close to the hospital it wasn't even a big deal.

With Taniyah Rod bought a HUGE red rolling duffle bag for me to pack in! He wanted to make sure that there was plenty of room for his snacks:giggle They always come in handy for the hospital stay afterwards.

I knew I was going to be induced, so I packed my bag about an hour before we left for the hospital...

I packed mine when I was about 7 months along. I was terrified I'd go into labor early or something and not be ready...

Both times I waited til I went into labor.:lol I wanted something to help prevent me from going to the hospital too early so I waited. I had a list so I knew what I wanted to take but I didn't pack it until I had been contracting for several hours; 13 hours with Breanna and 8 hours with Johnny.

I packed mine early, thinking I would never make it to full term...re-packed it when I got to 35 and re-packed it AGAIN at 39 weeks, a week before he was born. Robert was deployed, I was home alone, and I think a "little" over anxious.:)

I packed mine at 30 weeks bc I was having lots of preterm labor....he tried to make his appearance many times so we had it in the car ready to go just in case...I made it to 38 weeks but barely!!!

I think I am going to start writing out what I want to bring this time. I have been contracting big time for 2 days straight now. I swear that this kid is just doing it to torture me though! :lmao

With Nate I packed at 33 weeks cause I knew he would be early. This one I will pack at 34 weeks to be safe.
