pack your labor bags for the hospital? I'm 34 weeks, and I got a WTE email that said it's time to do that, but it just seems way too soon for that! So, when did YOU pack? Any tips?

I was packed at 34 weeks. I like being prepared and knowing that every last thing is taken care of so that when I go into labor, I can just focus on labor and not worry about anything I may have forgotten.

 I pack at 30 weeks. After my 3rd daughter was born at 31.5 weeks and I had NOTHING ready, I just don't take any chances anymore!

With my first two, I was packed by 36 weeks. This time, I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow and only the baby's stuff is packed so far, I've been procrastinating like crazy for some reason.

I'm having a homebirth again, but wehave a list of preparations that are our responsibility. It basically says that during the last 4-6 weeks we are to start general prep like cleaning and changing A/C filters and things like that. Oh, and to order our birth kit. Then between 36 and 37 weeks to begin packing bags.....of course they are bags of birth stuff, like the sheets, towels, and supplies. But it's the same concept, I suppose LOL.

I'm about 37 weeks, and I'm "on schedule". My birth bags are prepared. I did them Tuesday night. Now I'm just trying to stretch out the little things so that I don't get too bored LOL.
