You’ll have plenty of time in the second and third trimesters. For now, just focus on taking care of yourself. The first trimester is challenging enough!
Yes. I was that way. It’s fine. Makes you normal I think
Oh yeah. I was struggling putting the car seat into the base in the car when we were coming home from the hospital and my wife told me “… that goes in facing backwards”.
I had my baby 5 weeks early and had nothing prepared. No baby stuff, no hospital bags. And it was fine- Amazon is king and they don’t need much AT ALL the first several weeks. Just get a bassinet for them to sleep in!

I hope everything went smoothly!
Same here, except now I’m approaching third trimester and realize I have to actually get going!
Even if the baby comes early you honestly don’t need that much. We didn’t even buy diapers cuz we knew we’d get a bunch from the hospital, and they don’t stay in newborns for long.
Our first midwife appointment post birth, the midwife pointed out that my baby’s nappy was on backwards. They need so little at the beginning (& Amazon prime exists so you can always get things)
Yes! I didnt even get to an OB until 16 weeks and definitely didnt have any baby essentials until 3rd trimester thanks to my church family throwing us a surprise baby shower and then having another fam/friends one a month before baby was due. Don't stress it
