Nursery waiting list whilst pregnant?!

[Baby2018]

I was speaking to someone today who recently found out Im pregnant, she said to me " better get on that nursery waiting list" was she kidding? Or do I seriously need to think about joining the waiting lists for the good nurserys? Im due end of Sept.
Thanks !

@stealthpolar. Guess you are pulling my leg. I obviously mean there were no spaces at the nurseries around the area where my work is. The year starts in September and the nurseries start fully booked. We obviously don't all live or work in the same area, but need I explain that... Apart from that... I don't really see the point of your question.
