when did everyone start having their car seat ready to go in their cars for the big day?

I'm 40 weeks 5 days & my husband jst bought it last night lol

I just put it in when I went into labor.

I have mine but haven't put it in the truck yet..

I have had a carrier and a convertible one pretty much whole pregnancy. thought about going ahead and installing the carrier one since my contractions are increasing

I hate not having a plan and being rushed lol. friend of mine suggested since I'm at risk of stillbirth getting induced

with my last 3 til i had them lol then again my first two were preemies and my last(who was fullterm) welll... i was so unprepared lol

I installed the car seat base at 35 weeks

few days before we went into labor

Installed it yesterday. I'm 38 weeks
