I’ve started now as it was recommended (high risk pregnancy) I’m nearly 27 weeks. Definitely not finished but just gathering a few bits

I had mine packed and ready by about 30 weeks

Around 30. With the last few bits to pop in as and when I needed them. My little boy came spontaneously at 36 weeks (first baby) so I'm glad it was done 🤣

35 approximately

34 weeks

30

I’m almost 30 weeks and have just started buying things for my bag such as maternity pads. I have yet to actually pack it all though.
I’ve began washing things for baby’s bag as well

Im 38 weeks tomorrow and its not ready 🤡🤡🤡😢😢, im a first time mum too🥲 just didnt feel the urge yet and im kinda hoping for the baby to arrive at 40+ weeks

I started my list at around 12 weeks but didn't pack until 37 weeks xx

I am 30 weeks and I have started packing as rather be prepared

i opened the bag & had it on the couch @35 weeks and put stuff in it as time went on, wasn’t done packing until 38 weeks

Putting items in a box under the bed from about 29 weeks.

no one has told me to pack mine early yet (I'm also high risk) and im 24+2 😳 xx

I've started packing the stuff I already have in the house such as pjs, baby's clothes, nappies and wipes, and will go out every other weekend and buy the other bits. I am 29+5 now :)

I packed while giving birth at 38w and 2d

I'm 37 weeks on Tuesday and have had mine packed for over a month and a half at least.

like 39 😅

37 xxx

ah really? I guess it depends on each area. I’m Monmouthshire in Wales and due to having Epilepsy and high risk of preeclampsia they told me to have bits packed at my 25 week midwife appointment but that’s because I may need an early emergency c-section if my seizures get bad as very dangerous for me and baby anytime from 28 weeks. They’ve been controlled for 4 years but pregnancy can make them ridiculous. Best of luck to you and hope everything is going smoothly

I had an emergency bag ready really early on. You never know when you may need to be admitted for some reason and you absolutely don’t want to leave your partner in charge of throwing a bag together. Some of the stuff I’ve seen them pack in a panic for patients has been honestly hopeless 🙈

I’m almost 38 weeks and haven’t packed mine yet lol. I keep telling myself I’m going to do it but then I get preoccupied. Like right now I’m folding and hanging my baby girl’s clothes.
