I've been slowly packing it over the last week. I think I've got everything in it now, and a list of last min. items. DH still needs to pack his, although that should be easy. Some PJ's a change of clothes, toiletries, and some snacks we bought for him while I'm laboring.

I plan to pack our bag the week before I have her. If I forget anything or go into labor early, the hospital is right around the corner so I'll just send DH home to get it.
When I am 35 weeks I will begin to put things together. I am not taking a diaper bag everything will be situated in my bag. I did buy all my travel toiletries about 2 and a half weeks ago. I just need some sleepwear, fuzzy socks, my coming home outfit, and his coming home outfit.
We packed a make-shift bag 2 weeks ago cause I had to go in for contractions. We finally got things figured out and packed the diaper bag this past week. We wanted to be ready since we are not able to rely on contractions telling me when it's time to go.
TTC #2, Operative hysteroscopy March 2011; IVF #1 long lupron protocol April 2011-cancelled due to poor response; IVF #2 flare protocol May 2011=hospitalization due to abdominal hemorrhage during ER and no fert due to MFI issues. Moving onto international adoption from Moldova January 2013!
I packed mine about a week ago. Everything's in there (nightgowns, going home outfits for the both of us, gatorade and energy bars, blankets, etc.) except for toiletries and make-up. It's just hanging out in the nursery; the hospital is only about 20-30 min away so I figure someone can always run home in case I forget it.
I started it tonight--mainly because I just did laundry and want to make sure I have clean clothes ready when labor starts. I just threw some sweats and nusring tanks in a bag. I packed some clothes and blankets for LO. I'll grab the toiletries at the last minute. We live 5 min. away from the hospital, so I'm not too worried. I'm not planning to bring much.
I started packing it this past week. I decided to switch bags - but I have most of the stuff together - so if it happens it shouldn't be too bad to get it all together to leave.

My husband was anxious for me to start packing a bag so I did when I went on maternity leave around 36 weeks. I packed the baby stuff first. Slowly, added my stuff over the past few weeks, changing few items out here and there.
I'm thinking I probably will around 35 - 37 weeks. Just depends on how my Dr visits go I guess! My sister delivered 3 weeks early with all 3 of her girls because of high BP but so far mine has been good so we'll see!
With DD I wound up packing exatly one week before I delivered. That was only because we went to the hospital exactly one week before because I thought I was in labor. I'll probably wait until the last minute again this time.
I started getting some stuff together this weekend. I have the her diaper bag all packed and ready to go and most of my stuff is laying on the guest bed. I have a few other things to add and have to put it into a bag but I will gradually do that.
Re: When will YOU pack your hospital bag??
Already packed except for last minute items that we'll have to grab (hopefully, if we are able) on our way out the door (extra pillows, for example).
I packed both my bag and the diaper bag at 35 weeks!
BFP #3 -mm/c @ 7wks, discovered at 9wks, D&C 9/28
BFP #4 5/29 EDD 2/9 - please be our rainbow
I feel like if I pack it now LO will come early, like I will jinx myself. So prob in 2 weeksish...
