Unprepared

I'm 33 weeks and 4 days and I just feel so unprepared...crib not built haven't washed babies clothes ...haven't packed hospital bags...I don't have half the stuff I need and I'm not having a baby shower...I feel like my family doesn't care much and just keeps saying oh u still have plenty of time.Its starting to make me feel down...anyone else unprepared or am I just slacking?

Yes, I feel very unprepared. Our house has even under renovation and everything is taking forever and things won't be finished in time :(

Nesting mode will kick in very soon. It's crazy, it will just come over you all of a sudden

I'm 34 wks and finally set up the nursery this wknd.  I'm going with the absolute basics since I'm not having a baby shower and all I have left is to get my hospital bag together and buy the car seat & stroller.  I went to the thrift this wknd and bought a ton of brand new looking baby clothes for the first 3-6 mos.  Up until last wknd all I had were a few hand me downs a friend gave me, but no essentials.  Ull be surprised how much u can get accomplished in such a short amount of time when u get off ur butt and start nesting...

I'm 33 weeks +4 and I have a car seat that's it! My baby shower is the 25th and were not shopping till after. I did make a plan for someone to come in and clean when I went into labor, so its nice and clean and sanitary when we get home. But that's it. I feel very unprepared and anxious bout it all also. We would be screwed if baby comes early.

30 weeks and I have almost nothing. A stroller (hand me down) couple small toys, 2 books, and a fee clothes that people have given me. Husband doesn't want us to buy anything until after our shower (a month before due date) and we don't want to buy furniture or really anything at all bulky until we move (trying to buy a new house and move before delivery.) So just waiting til the very end. People keep saying its not going to matter if I have anything anyway that baby won't care what we have and don't have.
