I'm a late January girl but considering I am likely to give birth early this time I should really work on it. I just need to get through Christmas. So much to do!
I really am a special snowflake on this one -- since there's no SS option, I didn't vote. I have stuff set aside, but really it's in case I get admitted to the hospital again (for the third time). Because my husband is really not good at finding stuff for me. But it would also partially work if I went into labor, I just would need to add a few baby and nursing things.
@elsutto2 our husbands must have gotten together because mine said to me about an hour ago - I don't care what we do today but the bag will be packed before I leave for work this afternoon!! Lol
My bag is packed . Bp issues and modified bed rest makes you get prepared!!!!
@Ljessen13 -- not necessarily, lol. I am only prepared for another hospital admission, which includes things like my crocheting projects. I'm not prepared for labor.
Hahahaha @peanutmuse!!!!! Your case is definitely way more extreme than mine! You actually should have an assigned room with your name on the door. Preferably like their VIP suite!!!!! I hope you are feeling well!!!
I'm 35 weeks and some days, and i keep thinking about getting a bag started but i just haven't done it. Maybe after Christmas. We also need to get the car seat base installed soon.
I finally designated a suitcase for the hospital just last week. It's sort of packed but I still have things to add. And I just washed baby's diaper bag (from DD#1) so now I can pack for baby today!
I have to wash a few things and pick up a couple toiletries, but once that's done I'll be packed. Rather have it done now than rush around trying to get it done while in labor.
Haven't even really thought about it, but I'm a late January girl. Right now I'm getting through Christmas, my husbands week of call (which is over Christmas), and then New Years. I'm 36 weeks on new years day, so I'll probably start thinking about packing it sometime between there and my youngest's birthday on the 11th.
ETA: I used the wrong there and I just can't let that go unchanged

Started our exploration into the world of international adoption June 2012. We have no idea what this is going to look like but we are excited to find out!
I am ready this time- ds surprised us at 35 weeks, and I didn't have time to come home and get a bag before going to hospital. So my bag and baby bags are packed. Although, dh, ds and the dogs are not! This week I'll put together a bag for ds and the dog!
Nearly 37 weeks for baby #1 and not quite packed, but I plan to do it today.. I did set out a few things for her and picked up some of the suggested items to have at home upon return (stool softener, pads as thick as quilts lol, etc). Good luck everyone
I have had one packed for a very long time since I am a ticking time bomb. I did basically just have comfy clothes/panties and decided if I went and was admitted I could have someone being me toiletries and stuff. This past week I added toiletries and a few other items. So mine is all set. I still need to pack stuff for baby But will wait a week or so. If I have baby within a week or so he or she won't go home right away so I have time to get stuff.
BFP #1 (7/13/12) MC (8/14) 9 weeks. D & C 8/17. BFP #2 (5/18/13) due 1/26/14. Grow baby grow! Its a surprise! Team green!
I'm 37 weeks 1 day, 1.5 cm dilated and 60% effaced (as of Thursday). DH put the bag in the car 4 days ago and spends his time staring at me, waiting for my abdomen to explode a la Alien style. I should make him put a dollar in a jar every time he asks if I'm okay. It's very sweet but making me even more impatient.
I have started packing. I made a list, got a bag, and I've put a bunch of stuff into it, but it still needs more than tweaking. The thing I'm having the hardest time with, is how to pack any type of clothing. I already only have a limited amount that fits me, I can't afford to have a pair of yoga pants just sitting in there wasting away lol
I've started, but I'm not done. I'll be 35 weeks this week though, so I should probably finish that up sometime soon!

I'm due Jan 26 and am not getting any early vibes. I'm going to start in the New Year. Like @KaitiMac, I need to pick up nursing bras/tanks to pack and want to wait closer to 37 weeks for those... I'll probably pack everything else before then though. Or at least make a list! Haha.
I haven't. I feel like anything I pack I'll end up needing so I haven't started. It doesn't help that I only have like 3 pairs of paints that aren't pj's (that still fit right now) so all I'd really be able to pack are some undies and tshirts.
I have a scheduled c/s in 8 days and have LO's stuff packed but nothing packed for me. My OB has been telling me to have a bag packed since like 28w since I'm a complete previa and was expected to bleed.... obviously I've been in denial and in a "think positive only" mode..... that has luckily worked.
ETA- hoping to have my bag packed today... no later than Tuesday
I packed mine at 28 weeks. I've made a few changes but the core hasn't changed. I keep in my car just in case they admit me after an NST. I do have to be sure to toss my brush, charger, etc in it.
I've designated a bag that's sitting on my closet floor. Plus I have a shopping list of things I need to pack in it. The good thing is that I live less than 5 min away from the hospital so if anything I can have my SO throw stuff in there. But you know how guys are, I'll probably get 30 phone calls asking where things are. SMH!
I just started this today. Only because people started asking if I had it ready so I figured since I am 35/35 tomorrow it may be a good time to do it. I will probably be piecing together some stuff over the next few weeks though.
I have started packing. I made a list, got a bag, and I've put a bunch of stuff into it, but it still needs more than tweaking. The thing I'm having the hardest time with, is how to pack any type of clothing. I already only have a limited amount that fits me, I can't afford to have a pair of yoga pants just sitting in there wasting away lol
This was my main reason for not having my bag completely packed yet last week.. I didn't want to put any yoga pants in the bag because that is all I like to wear these days. I finally decided to leave one pair in there and plan to rotate as I do laundry but just make sure there is at least one pair of yoga pants in there at all times just incase! That seems to make me feel better and now my bag is packed and ready so I'm feeling pretty good
Mine is packed and everything is in the crib so it's all in one place. One tote for me, diaper bag for LO along with camera bag, tripod, Boppy and the list of things I have to grab last minute.
