When did you start to buy things for your baby?

[Lisa]

I usually wait until after the morphology/anatomy scan, so around 21 weeks.

As we'd lost Noah 3 months before conceiving DS2, when pregnant with DS2 I waited until the very last minute to take things off lay bye. I figured it was as good as buying them but not feeling like I was jinxing myself by having them at home. From memory, we set things up at about 37 weeks.

First baby I didn't buy anything ..... I was always at work, my parents collected stuff for me once I told them, which would have been around 2-3 months.

Second after we told everyone, which was about 4-5 months.

Third my parents bought us a basinette, and we picked up 2 or 3 onesies and a box of nappies so that barely counts

First 'earth baby' (had two m/c previously) after 20 weeks

Third & forth pg - ended in m/c but probably would have waited til 20 weeks also.

Fifth - as soon as I fell pg bought a toy monkey for the nursery, sadly ended in m/c

I bought a few thing before I was even pregnant. I was shopping the Christmas craft fairs and could not resist some of the hand made baby blankets, bibs, burp cloths and slippers. When I finally got my positive we were in the process of moving so i held off until we were settled in our new city. Then I bought stuff as it came up. At 2 months I saw a great second hand crib and change table, at 5 months I was in my old town so my friend threw me a baby shower, and by 6 months the nursery was all done and I had everything we needed except the baby I wasa it worried about jinxing myself but I was just too excited to wait.

I've already started to buy things: PumpkinPatch and MillaRuby Designs online; Target during sales; at Aldi I buy things pretty much on a fortnighly basis; I've brought my Slider Chair from Baby Kingdom and books from book club. I just need the elusive bfp to start on the big purchases.
Oh, I've even brought things from Tupperwear for food storage once we get to solids and I've got the freezer cubes for when I'm super organised and make up a big batch of food.
Most of the clothing I've brought is for a girl :blush: so here's hoping for a girl.

I put all the big stuff on layby at 14 weeks - after we got the all clear from our 12 week scan I am supersticious but not when it comes to pregnancies. I personally believe in 'The Secret' therefore making happen what you want to happen, if that makes sense.

I had the nursery completely setup and ready to go by 25 weeks and my bags packed at 35 weeks. I went into spontaneous labour at 38+5 but had a couple of friends admitted to hospital early with PE and they were totally unprepared. I was so glad I was ready for bubs arrival no matter how early or late it was.
