I feel like I’m already failing my baby and she isn’t even here yet. I don’t have enough space in my apartment for her or her stuff and I can’t afford to move and I gave her a shit dad and I’m just so upset right now. It seems like no matter how much I move things around or clean there’s just not enough space. I don’t have anywhere to put her bottles in my kitchen, her bassinet is full of stuff I have no where to put, I can’t set out her play mat and her swing etc because there’s no where to put it, I have no where to store her bathroom stuff and I’m just feeling overwhelmed and alone. She’s gonna be here any day now and i just don’t have any where to put anything.

I was feeling like this with the lack of space especially when people ask me how the nursery is coming along meanwhile I just have this tall shelf that was put together from Amazon. I’ll put the link in case u have room for at least that but yeah I definitely feel u. My baby has a lot of stuff but it’s gonna be almost like Tetris to put everything in my apartment

Hang in there Mama. You yourself are the absolute best thing for her.
I know its hard especially with IG & tiktok constantly pushing "things you need for baby" in our faces. While it sure would be convenient/comfortable having allll the things influencers say you "need", all your baby really needs is you, a safe space to sleep, a roof over her head, a clean baby booty, & food in her belly.
I suggest just putting all baby things in one place for now, & take it out as you go! You might be surprised at how much you wont actually use.
You got this!
