I've had mine sorted since 36 weeks, I've got a lot of sorting out to do at home so I wanted to get it out of the way as its a habit of mine to forget to do things lol

think ill do mine in next few wks

I'll probably do mine around 35 weeks. I know it's highly unlikely but I was born at 36 weeks and I'm not taking any chances with this little guy

I started doing mine at 26 weeks

mainly because I was bored, but I only managed to finish it at around 32 weeks. At least it kept me busy for a while

I just thought of this today as well. I think I will start when I'm on holidays in 2 weeks. I plan on doing some serious nesting and getting most of the baby stuff organized while I'm off and have some energy!

I was planning on doing mine at 37 weeks, but now I wont bother until either 39 weeks or the day I go into labour.

I don'd need to take much into hospital for a normal birth and would be home 4 hours later. I don't think labour will be so fast that I don't have time to pack the few things I have to take. We only live 10 mins from the hospital so OH could just drive back and grab me things if I had to stay longer.

In allmy bumph from the mw it says 34 weeks so I'm going to domine this weekend. My mw asked at my last appt if I had done it yet. Oooops. So I would say do it around 34 weeks.

I'm planning a home birth so just packing a bag of essentials for me just in case I have to be transfered.
Boo will have her complete nappy bag with all she needs in it - just as if we were going out for the day etc.
I've written a couple of lists and bought *most* of the stuff i/we need (I think) so I'll start putting the bag together in the next couple of weeks.
