Kinda overwhelmed
I’ve been in the hospital since I was 22wks. I have no hospital bag, I haven’t been able to shop for baby or room decorate, I don’t have anything I need yet and I’m 28wks now. I’m lowkey overwhelmed because now I have gd on top of being constantly monitored and woken up out of my sleep daily. The baby is healthy and growing beautifully, it’s just my cervix shortening. I have a cerclage and it’s definitely doing its job, but I’m kinda spiraling because I don’t have anything I need.

Where are you located? I’m outside of Boston if I can be of any help…. My first child came a month early and I wasn’t ready either (did not have a bath tub, bassinet, etc). I started ordering while in the hospital (I was there 6 days). Honestly hospital gave things to go home (pacifier, 2 baby hats, formula, whole package of diapers). When we got home my son slept on the changing table portion of the pack and play because that’s all we had, he easily did for a week. Room decor can wait. We slept in the living room because of my c-section scar. Baby eventually moved into our bedroom. I would prioritize car seat… and just start with a list and then order it in priority. And don’t worry about socks, shoes, or even pants for the baby in this heat. Need some onesies with 3 snaps.
