Not prepared and feel baby will be early!!

[JW1226]

Hi all,

Im new here and have put up a different post about my stressful life atm!

However I am currently 34weeks3 days and exhausted!
I'm not prepared for baby yet as my whole life's just turnt upside down I'm under a lot of stress, can't sleep and I'm in pain every day mentally and physically.

This is my 3rd baby and had both my other children 3 and 2 weeks early...
I'm scared that this baby is going to come sooner rather than later what's the chances of my 3rd coming early aswell?
Baby is head down, I'm small framed my pelvis feels broken and have a lot of pressure movements in my bum sorry tmi! Also the past three days I had become very dry but today feel wetter sorry tmi again! Just don't feel i can carry baby much longer I can hardly walk 😢

I'd guess as your first 2 came earlier this one will too.
Just prepare the minimum you need to get baby home. Somewhere to sleep, couple packs of nappies and a handful of clean babygros/vest etc oh and bottles if your bottle feeding

Good luck

Do you have a bag packed? If not, that’s the first thing I’d sort. As PP said, newborns don’t actually NEED that much, vests, sleepsuits, blanket, nappies and somewhere to sleep would see you through the first few weeks. Haven’t seen your other post, but the only other thing I’d suggest getting organised is childcare for while you’re in labour, and an overnight bag for them just in case.
Of course we want everything “perfect” for a baby coming home- with my first the nursery was decorated from 26 weeks and all set up ready for him... now nearly 37 weeks with my 3rd and I’m still hoping DH will paint the baby’s room and our room and we can get new carpets in both, but I’m not stressing about it at all! The baby really won’t care if it’s done now, or in a couple of months. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to have everything “Pinterest perfect”, take care of yourself and focus on the basics.

Our lo came at 34 weeks, we weren’t at all ready, but all the family chipped in and we were just fine! In all honesty we would never have been ready for a 34 weeker so don’t feel at all guilty that we didn’t have clothes to fit her 😂🙊

Thankyou ladies!

I do feel this little man will be here sooner I'm now 35weeks with my legs crossed!
Been loosing parts of my plug and can feel baby has started engaging have a midwife appointment next week wonder if they examine you at the later stages?

I have sorted my hospital bag well it's not packed just have managed to get everything for it well waiting on my baby blanket then good to go!

I feel once I actually pack the bag I will jinx it lol xxx
