We bought stuff at around 24 weeks for DD, but them like MummaSue I was very anxious and once he had put it in the baby to be's room DH wasn't allowed to touch it until after I was 30weeks. Though saying that I had 3 baby showers and so didn't really need to buy a whole lot.

With baby#2 I started straight away. I wanted to build up my nappy stash (cloth) and get some little bits and pieces early, but that baby left us at 12 weeks.

As a result poor DS hardly had anything until 24 weeks when we thought he was going to deliver and then only very basic stuff until about 34weeks when I found out he was a he.
