1. I would look at a stroller that can go form newbourn up rather than a bulky pram. I had a pram for dd1 and when she was 12 months brought a stroller. And when had dd2 used stroller more than pram. With my last on the way I wore my old stroller out so have brought the stellcraft profile, $170 have not used it yet but is a great stroller similar to what i had before but has a front bumper, cover and pocket on the back so a bit posher.
2. Nappy change pad, i actualy brought a second hand fold up change table from the salvos for like $15.....my sisters just put a few folded towels ontop of the chest of draws she had for her bub and used that. My mum then sewed a few towels togther to make the change pad.
3. I would only by some cheap ones if at all untill you have had bub as I was given some when people came to see me and I only used them as I expressed milk as I went back to studying when dd1 was 6 weeks old. but dd2 never had a bottle.
Hope this helps. Only thing I had to run out and buy was a breast pump as I had so much milk I was expressing milk when dd1 was 6 days old and storing in freezer. Other than that there was nothing I desperatly needed.
As someone else said buy a few things here and there before bub comes like nappies, baby wipes, what you want to wash bub in etc.
