Honestly, it's not important, most of that stuff. It's good that you're doing your pelvic floor exercises now, but you can also do them after the birth as well, which will help, so not a lost cause yet! If you're worried about how you'll cope in labour because you haven't done an exercise programme... I guess you never know how labour will go, and it's no use tiring yourself out now! Go for gentle walks, you might have a few weeks left still, and I found walking really helped me relax, especially in the week or so before our first was born (and our second, incidentally!)
With the food - we were really struggling financially around the time S was born, and immediately afterwards, and I had little to prepare with. You'll manage, just have lots of fruit around and it's not the end of the world if you're too tired to cook some nights and have baked beans on toast or something
The labour bag? I packed while in labour I was so excited I couldn't sit still anyway, so it was kind of handy. We had a box of nappies but stuff like breast pads, botty cream, pads for me... just had to wing it a bit and then got my mum and my sister to bring them round heh heh.
It seems like such a lot to think about, but when it all comes down to it, you'll muddle through and come out the other side, with a baby who just wants to be loved and fed (and changed. Nappies of some description are kind of important, I suppose!!)
