When do you start buying things?

For me it was always after the 12 week scan as I had a missed miscarriage once

I’m 9 weeks and have started buying things. I feel it’s so much to get and so much to spend out that the more it is spread, the easier the cost should be. I don’t buy into the fear of what ifs or the myth of the “12 week safe zone”

Iv brought a couple things that Iv seen come up, like a couple outfits, blankets and a found a bouncer on sale for £30 instead of £75 so I also got that, with my son I had actually already brought his pram by 12 weeks🤣x

I didn't buy a pram until a month before my first baby's arrival, I kept worrying about cost & if baby would arrive safe. I definitely bought too many of some clothes we didn't get much use out of but I saved most of them so we won't need to buy much. I think I'll wait til after the 12 week scan to get anything this time round.
