Anyone else feel unprepared with second child?

Question

I'm 37 weeks and finished work yesterday. This isn't my first baby so I am more relaxed, however it has just dawned on me that I'm completely unprepared for this baby! I mean I haven't even packed my hospital bag! Half of the stuff I need is in the loft and needs washing. Fingers crossed baby doesn't fancy coming early!! Please tell me I'm not the only one to have left things this late!? 😂😱

Answer

I'm feeling unprepared with #5. ;)

Answer

I'm right there with you! 34+ 6 and I've got a massive pile of my son's old newborn clothes to wash and sort that I just don't have the mental strength to. I'm still working, in the middle of moving to a bigger home and I've got a two year old that only has two settings: running and asleep. So haven't even stopped to think about things like buying a double stroller :/ don't worry ladies. We will get it done :)

Omg girl !! I'm rite with u  . I'm 38 weeks 1 day and I haven't packed my hospital bag or washed her clothes I haven't even set up her car seat in the car 😩 I would of thought I would have everything ready at this point , with it being my second ! 😭

Answer

36+4 with #5. Haven't finished her nursery, haven't finished working, haven't packed a single thing other than the overnight bag for our older 4 kids with their extra clothes and PJs. Nothing else is finished and I'm cool with it. Like...Hubby can bring me my sweats and two shirts and undergarments, her coming home outfit and blanket are washed, and she can sleep in her bed and we have diapers... I'm good.

Answer

35 wks and 5 days now. Still haven't put the baby bed together it's watching me and daddy. Still haven't fully packed me or daddies hospital bag but my 2 year old going away bag while I'm in the hospital is packed and the unborn is packed as well. Still haven't gotten a tub for her. Nor have I gotten any bath stuff for her 🙄🙄🙄 haven't rearranged the room that she and my son will now share so I don't think Alex is gonna like me when I put all the toys in a foot tote😒 I'm just like MEH it'll get done just not right now ☹️

I've been way too relaxed with preparation for the second babies arrival. My husband has been on my case to pack my hospital bag. I'm 36 weeks now so not much longer ❤
