what do I start to buy or prep

So I am a few days away from 20 weeks. Now my question is "When is it time to start preparing for labor and for baby?" I'm not going to lie. I've already made a labor bag list for my hubby and myself lol.

I say you start now because the last thing you want is to put everything until the last min. I am pregnant with my 2nd child & with my 1st one I thought I had time to get everything together & done lord was I wrong. My parents & husband had to put the whole nursery together for me with no help because my belly was so big I hardly do anything....lol. Then on top of that my water broke 4 weeks early. I can remember being so stressed that stuff wasn't done & that is one of the last things you want.

I did mine at 34 weeks. Because I had my last one at 34 weeks and I was so unprepared. Now I'm 36+2 amd its still sitting there but at least I'm ready

Now is good, if you know the sex and all start now, because as the weeks pass you may not have the strength. Asap
