Does anyone else feel so unorganised for baby?

[Isadora]

Oh yay I'm not the only one! Thanks all for the reassurance.

Lilias you are right, boobies and sleep is all she will need.

Bron.nt sorry to put you into a panic too! I agree get better first and then it will all fall into place.

Im 37 weeks tomorrow and i am not ready at all!!! my poor little man still doesnt even have curtains in his room yet lol
I started a pile last night of things i need to pack for the hospital !!
this is the most dis organised i have ever ever been!!

[Heaven]

I'm not as far as you and I have done nothing, literally. No idea what clothes I have, haven't bought anything. Don't even know where this baby's clothes are going to be kept! I expect I'll leave it til the last minute as usual, lol. Last time I was packing my hospital bag in labour and DD was 12 days overdue

I'm almost 34 weeks and I am very unorganised. I brought a bassinet, a packet of nappies and 2 packet of pads last week, I also have the capsule ready. As for everything else I have nothing done and no money to get anything. Everyone keeps saying I've dropped and DD was early so chances are this one could be early.

Hun, the most important thing for you to do is rest by the sounds of it. If all you need is a couple of things for baby then I wouldn't be at all worried. As for hossy bags, with DS I didn't pack mine til about 38ish weeks. As I said before all a newborn really needs is boobys or bottles, enough clean clothes to wear and a place to sleep (which can be your bed!). Just rest up for now, it sounds like you have a really big few weeks ahead, not mentioning a new baby coming!!

Thank you lilias!!
Makes me feel more at ease.. :-)

It is so strange, the time goes so slow, then near the end it creeps up so quickly :-)

YES! I had been feeling exactly the same way... but now for medical reasons I have no choice but to stay calm and relaxed! And Im forced to rest and cant do anything! Relying on hubby and family to pack bags and buy everything I need for the hospital, and to get everything ready for the baby which is pretty frustrating because they are so much slower at it than me.. but at least Im getting to relax. In terms of meals in the freezer which I had planned to do.. that wont be happening now, so I will just have to do what I can when I get home from the hospy!
I learned the hard way that I was doing way too much for a pregnant woman.
Its so important to relax these last few weeks so make sure you do!!!!! Thats my primary focus now..
Ive had to learn to ask for help and thats its ok to do so!

I'm 32 weeks, have no bags packed and the nursery is still just an empty room with piles. Piles for me, piles for the baby, and piles of books that I was hoping to have time to read pre-baby (meaning baby-related books). Oh, and nothing has been washed. I've been waiting for a sunny Saturday or Sunday to wash all the baby things and the only sunny one in ages I couldn't take advantage of as we had plans to be out all day. We have the furniture and car seat all ordered and it's in but I haven't had time to arrange for delivery. I'm also working full time up until 38 weeks. I have no idea how this will all get done, but what I do have are lists...lists make me feel like I have everything in control - if baby comes early, DH could take my list and get everything in order as well as get my bags packed if need be.

I am feeling the rising tide of not ready yet-ness!!
DH has paint all over the carpet in the nursery which isn't finished so no cot/change table has been put together. And isn't going to have it done just yet because he's often busy/away.
No car seats - which I have compromised on and decided if we can at least get one for DH's car then we can bring monkey home from the hospital.
No bags or anything packed and ready, at least we have nappies, but no baby products or anything else...

It's a bizarre thing... you feel like you have all this time to prepare and then suddenly feel completely unprepared.
