i did at 36 1/2 weeks because my BP started going up and down a lot and i wasn't sure if i'd have to go early. its nice though now because ill be getting induced sunday so im all ready to go and can just relax :-)
I'm thinking that I'll pack mine (at least most of it) this weekend. Things that I plan to still use between now and when I deliver, I will obviously wait to throw into the bag until we are on our way out the door. I plan to put a check list of things with my bag so that when it is time to go, I can make sure I have everything.
Depending on my dr appt tomorrow, either this wkd or next. I just want to have it packed & in the car so we don't forget it (because we would be the ones to forget it, lol!)
I packed at 37 weeks. Before that we had a hospital pile of stuff to throw in a bag. We have a scheduled c-section next week, but now we are ready just in case.
I started last weekend and plan to finish most of it this weekend. Some stuff I can't do until we are ready to go (like my yoga pants because I still wear them all the time). I have my list so I figure I can throw everything that's left in a bag pretty quickly if I have to.
It took 3 1/2 long years, but we finally got our little miracle!

I, personally, will be packing my bag probably this weekend. I know it seems early, but the doctor plans on inducing me at 36 weeks due to pre-e, and for some reason we all think I'm going to have him before then, my doctor thinks I might go into PTL or my BP will get worse and end up taking him earlier. So I want it packed at ready so that if I go back on strict bedrest (on modified bedrest right now) or something else happens I will be prepared and have at least the stuff I know I'll need at that specific time.
I started getting everything together for it a few weeks ago. I needed to order some nursing tanks and stuff online, and buy alot of postpartum things and infant care things for the home, so I'm glad I started on all that early.
But we haven't really "packed" it all yet. I'm starting to gradually put things in the bag.
I will start packing it around 35 weeks. I'm sure I will do the same thing that I did with my daughter. I waited to pack a few peices of cloths until we were getting ready to leave the house because I was still wearing them up until that point.
i packed what i could this week. Basically all i got in there was my robe, slippers, & night gown. Everything else like my toiletries, make up, blow dryer etc. are things i still use on a daily basis. My Mom says not to worry i'll have time once we realize we're going to the hospital to throw it all together.

i started packing my bag this week. It has my toiletries (mini shampoo, conditioner, lip balm, razor, body wash, lotion, face wash), nursing bra, sports bra, socks, underwear and clothes for baby.
The rest of the stuff i plan on bringing will have to be packed at the last minute. Cell Phone, charger, iPod, headphones, clothes for me and DH, snacks, drinks...
Re: Hospital Bag...when will you pack?

I'll probably pack mine the day I head to labor and delivery. I have a list of everything I want to take so I'll pack it then.
Lo's bag is already packed and has been since I was 20 weeks or so.
