I have had my bag packed since about 32 weeks. Which has come in handy as I have had to stay in for high bp overnight a few times, so its been easy for hubby to grab. Even if you don't want to "pack" a bag, just make sure essentials like pjamas, undies, fresh change of clothes, toothpaste & toothbrush, & hairbrush are easily found by your partner. I even bought spare undies, jammies and toiletries so as its ready.
I am still trying to get my head around sometime soon going into hospital and coming out with a baby, even though I have had two already.....Denial works fine for me too.
