Honestly... No matter how prepared you are (or aren't) you're never truly "ready"... Being a mom is sometimes about winging it... Going with the flow & having the patience to do so. Every baby is different & that same baby may be a completely different toddler (personality wise)... As time gets nearer to delivery your body will tell you & when it does don't be afraid to call that family to let them know you'll need them. When I had my daughter... It was just me & my husband 7-9 hours away from my family... I was a mess, prepared for my child but I wanted my family there for me. My husband was a rock for me D-Day & my mom drove 7 hours to come see us... Ever since I've had my daughter my "plans" yeah no we just go with the flow with her (she's 8 months). If you ever need to talk you can message me anytime. Any questions message me.
