Me! 36 weeks today. I've got a few things tossed in the bag, but I need most of the stuff I'll be taking between now and then. I figure if it comes down to it, I can pack during early labor. It'll be nice to have something to do, I guess...
I've packed the stuff I believe I need for labor. And by that I mean my extra phone charger, rubber bands and headbands for my hair, chapstick, insurance card, and a box of Mojo bars for my husband to eat.
Aside from that, I've got nuthin'.
ETA: I also have socks and headphones in my bag. This post has been helpful though because there are a few things mentioned below that I forgot to even get at this point. I don't own a robe and would really like to have one for one guests come to visit.
I have a running list of things I think I'll need to pack, but I haven't actually done it yet. I'm planning on starting it Saturday and even if it's not 100% done I think I'll be happy that I at least have SOMETHING ready to go.

I check in for my c-section at 7:30 tomorrow. I haven't packed yet. I have everything, so I'm one step ahead of where I usually am when I have to pack.
38 weeks tomorrow and no, the hospital bag isn't packed yet. I just chose a bag yesterday and threw in a bathrobe that I want to bring, but nothing else is in there yet. It's been on my to-do list for a couple weeks now.
I have started a packing checklist though, so if it comes down to it I can pack in a hurry.
First Son - born 2013
Second Son - born 2014 - Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV). First open heart surgery at 5 days old. He's had 3 open heart surgeries and several other procedures and is currently doing amazing. Third Son - due June 9, 2018
I have mine done, but H has nothing. I have been begging him to at least make a list of what he needs so that he is not stressing out like a crazy man when I'm in labor and need him to be calm. He is excitable.
I keep saying I'm going to start it but haven't yet. I have the diaper bag packed and ready to go but that's because I don't need any of that stuff before then. I will probably start to at least throw some extra things in there that I don't need for now like toiletries and stuff. I'm just afraid now I'll go in for an appt and be sent to the hospital for whatever reason and won't have anything for H to grab.
I packed mine the other day. I like to be over-prepared. Hubby still hasnt packed his, though, but he will this weekend. The car seat base is installed.
I just put a couple of outfits, blankets, and mittens in for the baby. Should I take anything else for her?
I am over 36 weeks and haven't done it yet either. I do have a few things picked out for baby to wear home but haven't put them in a bag or anything yet.
Question: I noticed Beachy has as diaper bag packed. Were you (or anyone else reading this) planning to bring it to the hospital with you? I never thought of doing that.

Not me. I guess it depends on the hospital, but mine gives us everything the baby needs for our stay and I'm not going to need anything special between the time we leave and arrive home.
No, but I do have a checklist. That counts for something, right?
FWIW, we didn't really pack a bag last time, either, so there was a lot of running around throwing randomshit in a backpack. You'd think we had learned our lesson.
I am 36 and 3, and I packed last week. Well, mostly. I put a nursing tank and nursing bra and yoga pants into a bag. I do have a list of other things to bring, and a general idea of where they might be. No idea what we will bring Bean home in, so that's not done, but I am not packing a bag for him. Our hospital provides everything for him, so he will have one outfit and a blanket. DH is not packed, and I sent him a text today that he should get on that just in case he gets a phone call in the middle of the night or when he is out on location. I AM starting to feel the urge to nest a little, so maybe that will help me pack.
I left my travel toiletries in my trusty duffel from when I went out of town last month...that's about it. My midwife asked at my 36 week appt if I had my bag packed and I just kind of stuttered that I had a few things ready to go...
The last thing I need is that hospital bag sitting there, taunting me for the next 4-5 weeks, like it did last time!
I have not. I am still using almost everything i'll bring with me so packing it up doesn't make sense. I have the list of what i want and can have it packed rather quickly i think. I live a half mile from the hospital so I can always send DH home for anything I need.
I have a bag with toiletries in it and my nursing bras/tanks and jammers. Then I have a list on my phone of things to bring. I feel pretty good about it for now since I am not even full term yet.

Bag is packed and in the car. Probably one of the few things I'm actually on top of! I don't have a diaper bag packed, but I have a few diapers and some wipes in the side pocket.
DH never packed anything, so I went ahead and threw some snacks, underwear, socks, and sweatpants in my bag for him. The only thing we will need to grab before going is our chargers and possibly some sneakers for DH, just in case he is coming straight from work.
Mine is about half done. It's on my list to finish this weekend. I plan to take it with me to my appointment next week, just in case I get admitted for the version and all hell breaks loose.

I'm almost 36 weeks and have not packed mine yet. I have some of the stuff to put into it, but have yet to get the rest and start packing it.
I do have LO's bag pretty much ready.

I have SOME things packed but I'm certainly not done!
I should really work on that today since I'll be 39 wks tomorrow!
(I also haven't been able to motivate hubby to pack his stuff!)
