Anyone else super unprepared?

Question

I’m 34 weeks and I so far have only gotten baby like 3 outfits and a pack of socks no furniture yet either . I have no idea why I’m procrastinating so much I just sort of forget or get busy . I feel like I’m going to be a awful mom because right now I just feel super detached from my body . Is anyone else going through this ? I also feel like I don’t even know where to start and what to get it’s so frustrating

Answer

(I’m only 31 Weeks so I’m not a Mom yet but this is just what I’ve been told...)
Babies don’t really need much in the beginning. You’ll want a car seat, stroller, clothes, diapers, wipes, some blankets since it’ll probably be cold where you’re at, and somewhere to sleep (not in your bed preferably).
But I know what you mean by feeling kind of detached. This pregnancy isn’t AWFUL, but it’s not the best experience of my life. I feel kind of lost, uncomfortable, and baby-bump aside, I look in the mirror and I just don’t like what I see. My hair is always a mess, I’ve gained weight by depression, I’m older but have braces, I’m too tired to put on makeup or even shave my legs every few days. Like, it’s not fun for me. Idk if that’s anything what you’re going through but yeah. It makes me procrastinate with everything. We bought the essentials and could-be essentials but I haven’t sorted anything. It’s all just in a huge pile in the room.

Answer

I’m almost 33 weeks and don’t have much either. I have a couple outfits and got lucky and found a car seat super cheap but I’m lucky if I make it paycheck to three days before my next paycheck so I simply can’t pay my bills and afford baby stuff. I’m hoping I get most of the essentials at my baby shower. Whatever I still need after that I’ll probably have to try and get a credit card to pay for 😓

Answer

I feel detached this time and it’s my second. Do you know the sex? Do you have a name chosen? I don’t and I think it may help for some reason. Babies don’t need an awful lot, but maybe if you go on a day where you buy a few things you’ll feel better about it all and feel less detached.

Answer

I am a FTM and I feel the same way! Even more so because I was born 8 weeks early and my boyfriend (baby’s daddy) was born 10 weeks early. Obviously premature births aren’t necessarily genetic but who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ everyone tells us they bet she’ll be a week or two early. I’m about to be 33 weeks and we still have to move out and into an apartment and I have nothing for her but some onesies and a car seat from my cousin’s stroller set that she never used. So I’m really unprepared too! I feel like as a FTM I’m suppose to be ultra prepared ultra early but I might be the one who had to run to target in the middle of labour to pick up last minute items 😅😅
