Feeling I'm not gonna have everything in time!

I'm 27 weeks, dont have a crib, car seat, nor stroller! What if I don't have it all in time! Due date October 15!

I'm in the same boat as you, my due date is Oct 10th & I don't have anything at all. But you still have time, have you thought about creating a registry of things that you need for baby? Get your registry out to family and friends and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to purchase something for baby off the registry! But most defiently don't depend on them, make sure a car seat is your #1 purchase & you could purchase a bassinet for the time being or play pen for less then $100 for baby to sleep in once baby arrives home!

I'm right there with y'all I have nothing except some diapers and wipes and a few one sides otherwise I haven't started getting anything yet. I'm worried butiI know that it'll all work out I still have about 100 days which sounds like a lot although I known it will go by so quick and that's only if she decides not to come earlier lol. I found a stroller carseat mix at Walmart for a little over $100 online so hopefully I can make it to a Walmart and find one of those there.
I say just don't panic BC its not good for you or Ur baby... try and relax and slowly continue to find good deals and pick things up as u can.
Good luck

Try to relax.  You will need somewhere for the baby to sleep when you come home from the hospital, and a crib is great, but if need be you could have the baby sleep in something else if you have it, until you can get a crib.  The car seat should be #1, since the hospital won't let you take the baby home without it.  Do some reading and see the reviews online for various kinds, and get going on that.  But if push were to come to shove, in an emergency, someone could actually pick one up for you while you are in labor, or after the baby is born but before you are discharged.  Don't leave things that late, of course.  But even if you suddenly had a baby tomorrow, that is still enough time to get things.  The stroller -- infants don't really need one, they can't sit up.  You might go for a car seat that has a snap-out baby seat that snaps in to the frame of the stroller.  I mostly used a sling until my baby was old enough to hold up his head.

Anyway, these things have a way of sorting themselves out.  Just don't start stressing about a high chair or babyproofing or putting parental controls on the t.v.  Each in its own time!  lol
