When will you pack your hospital bag?

in Pregnant after a Loss
This must still be the PGAL in me, but I still have not packed a hospital bag.  DH is threatening to pack it for me.  I just feel no sense of urgency in packing it.  I'm wondering if it's my maternal instincts and that means she's not coming soon, or if it's the fact that I didn't pack it last time until my contractions were 5 minutes apart for 45 minutes and I realized we would likely be leaving in the next 15 minutes, or if it's still the PGAL paranoia.  Am wondering what you ladies are doing with regard to packing your hospital bags?

    With my first pregnancy I packed at 38 weeks. With this one I have a feeling and I will probably around 35-36 ish...

    I'll probably pack it 2-3 weeks before my EDD. I don't remember when I did it with DS.

    OK so I'm not that far off!  I went at 37w4d with DS and I'm 37w2d today so I think DH is afraid that I have 48 hours to pack it.  But I am going off my EDD, which means I have 19 days to pack it.  And really, do I need 19 days to pack a bag?

    I will pack early because I had DD at 37 weeks. I had to have labor stopped at 27 weeks though.

    I refer you to my induction post @MickeyM04‌ DS was induced at 37+3. Mine was mostly packed the weekend before i hit 37w. I topped it off yesterday and started the induction at 38+0. Her movement pattern had changed and I knew i had à BPP today. I had à feeling the induction might happen today enough so that I threw my hospital bag in the car this morning.

    Things can change quickly as far along as we are :)

    I had mine packed at 34 weeks with DD#1.  Coincidentally,  she dropped when I was loading our bags into the vehicle and installing the car seat.  I work 10 mins from the hospital and live 45 mins from the hospital so our bags travel with me and my camera travels in my purse.

    I got in a vehicle accident a month ago and should have my van back this weekend so this time around, I'll be packed at 35 weeks this time around.
