When do you start buying stuff?

I think I’ll be buying at 8 months this time around. I just don’t feel the urgency to have everything now, like I did with my first.
I was the same with my last pregnancy especially following 2 losses. Started buying the odd thing after 20 weeks and bigger items in the 3rd trimester. The anxiety was just too much at times. I am trying to be more excited this time however we aren’t finding out gender and I have most things anyways so don’t think I’ll buy anything for a while and there is only a few bits I’ll really need and the rest can be bought after.
I’ve bought one thing so far as there was an offer on at John Lewis that gave you a free box of things if you spent so much. This is my second so I don’t actually need much else but I thought that if the worst were to happen then we would still always try again so the stuff wouldn’t go to waste x
I think I felt more comfortable to buy things after the 20 week scan with my first. Currently also pregnant with my second and we’ve kept everything from my first, the only thing we really need to buy this time is a car seat and I won’t be doing that until later in the pregnancy as we actually need to get a new car first 😅
