We started our TTC journey (fertility investigations) in March last year, got pregnant in November... we were so scared of buying anything just in case. It was stressful going through the investigations not knowing if our dreams would be shattered before they even began, and then once we started TTC, each month we didn't conceive was so disappointing, I can't imagine how much MORE painful it would have been being surrounded by baby things.

I still struggle with buying things, thinking about possible disappointment. I know it sounds pessimistic, but you just can't help it sometimes!

If I do want to be organised, maybe it would be smarter to put things into a savings account. I think thats a better idea, as if you buy something like pram/car seat and it takes a while to get pregnant, you could run out of warrenty on the item (dunno if thats a huge issue but that was one of my excuses for not buying anything), or decide you want the next model etc. At least with a savings account you're getting interest lol.

If you want to buy some special things, like a bunny rug or a cute outfit or a little teddy, that keeps your spirits up then thats a great idea. I had a baby names book which I'd read and imagine our little bub.
