How early do I need to be prepared for the baby?

Be Prepared EARLY

Yes, I believe it is very necessary to have everything in order before baby arrives. Speaking from experience - I had preterm labor at 30 weeks and was on bedrest and panicked because I didn't have things in order. Try to have all that you think baby will need - ready at the beginning of the third trimester. Have the crib, bassinet, clothes, carseat, blankets, etc. all set up and ready for the birth. Even though it may sit out for 3 months - at the very least should something happen earlier than anticipated - you'll have everything in order and ready for your little one.
