Getting Anxious 😮💨
I’m 30 weeks and been staying with my fiancé’s family to save money before the baby. Me, my fiancé and my 1 year old son stay in 1 room so we’ve had no room to stock up on anything.
When we had my son we were overly prepared his whole room was packed with stuff so this time around I feel very unprepared.
We’re moving before the baby comes in September but time is moving so fast I’m starting to panic a little. I’m having a hard time focusing on planning because I’m thinking about so much that needs to be done at once. Has anyone else felt this kind of anxiety towards your last trimester?

yes and it’s very common!! it’s a maternal instinct to have everything prepared and ready for when your baby arrives, my family calls it the “third tri panic” 😭
If it helps I’m in somewhat of a similar situation I guess?, 33weeks and 3 days pregnant with our first baby but we’re in a small crowded 1 bed flat and have been struggling to prepare for the the baby.., and on top of that we’re moving just before or just after she’s here, and barely packed.. (she’s also due in September) and nothing is really ready for her and neither is our new place meanwhile dealing with our stressed cat (due to the pregnancy) and the struggle with money is a real issue too so I’ve been panicking myself about these things and how everything is going to work out😞
Girl don’t stress. Take it one day at a time. Even though there’s a lot to do, you can’t solve all your problems in one day. Enjoy the time you have with your first born while it’s just him. Once baby is born, as long as they are fed clothed safe place to sleep and loved everything is going to be okay. You can stock up on supplies once in the new house. It’s never too late as you already know being a mother. I’m having my third in September and we’re just winging it with supplies because it turned out my second didn’t like anything I stocked up on and it went wasted 🤷♀️
