This time I had most things packed by 30 weeks. As sataya said getting your partner to bring things in may not be a good idea. After DD I asked my partner to bring in my maternity jeans to wear home, he brought his jeans to the hospital instead of mine .
Sataya I would have been annoyed at them sending you to a bonding room with no pain relief. They could have given you discharge medication even if they can't administer it.
