Yeh I buy little things too...have quite a stash now! If it makes you feel good, and it's something small, then I figure why not...we WILL get to use these things one day, even if not from that cycle (or even that pregnancy)
yep, when I was preg with Jayvan I did the whole "buy nothing til past 12 weeks" thing, and lost him at almost 18 weeks. So, now I've been buying little bits and peices that DF and I like to coo over. If anything it's a testimate to ourselves that our next bub is homing home!
it is one of those things, you either do or you don't i suppose.
i have a 4yr daughter and have kept a lot of her things.
but i still do buy the odd cute thing, boy or girl as well.
but i decided after my last failed cycle that i was going to start a baby journal.
i have bought a blank spiral book and i am going to start and by mothers magazines.
i am going to cut out all the things i dream of having with my next baby.
there are so many things i never did with my daughter that i regret, and this time i don't want any regrets. i think i took it all for granted and my pregnancy went so fast.
i especially regret not taking more photos of my pregnancy. so i am out to look for lots of nideas on how to do things differently this time , and i want to be ready when it happens!!! soon....
the books also have a lot of informaition on concieving that is helpful too.
hope this helps. but it is a very personal. do what you think fells right.
bye

we've got some stuff. some has been given to us by "kindly'' neighbours.
but we have a cot and a nice running pram packed away. we didn't go out shopping or anything, but these items came up second hand for a good price so we just thought "what the hell''.
but i don't go ''baby shopping'' as such. i just feel, for me, it would be too difficult when/if it doesn't work.
hope that helps.
In the early days bought stuff but stopped doing it after a few years and eventually got rid of it as it felt like a bad luck charm or something (if such a thing exists). I just used to hate coming across little things that I'd stashed at the back of cupboards long before. When I eventually got to see a heartbeat I bought one outfit & nothing else until 12 weeks.
I bought a wardrobe full of clothes, and larger baby items, in my previous pregnancies. That I now have packed away in tissue paper, and carefully wrapped to keep them. I don't think I will buy any more until I feel it is right for me. My DH wants me to give away the bassinette I bought for our first pregnancy, as he thinks, that was our angel baby's bassinette, I understand how he feels, it's like, thats the bassinette for the bubba we lost, it could also be the bassinette that watches over our forever baby
