When did you start buying baby items?

I’m 20 weeks, had the scan on Tuesday and baby wasn’t cooperating so we have to go back on the 6th December for the final measurement.. so I’m still not sure what to do! I’ve bought absolutely nothing yet 🤦🏻‍♀️

Good luck with the follow up, I’m hearing more and more that it’s so common for babies not to cooperate at it 😅 I’m waiting for my 20 week scan to start buying stuff - I’m way too paranoid! I’ve bought some socks and a baby gro which I used for our announcement but that’s it 😂

@Rachel I’m that paranoid I’ve only announced it to family and close friends! I keep forgetting people don’t know and they’re like wow look at you 😂 but I think we’ll get a couple of things in the Black Friday sales if they’re good deals!!

I’m guessing you two girls @Rachel and @Emily it’s your first? I’m on my second baby and truly I say, get the bigger stuff first, so it’s out of the way and there the main important ones baby needs then the smaller stuff, later. Hope this helps. 🙂 For me tho, has I have already have my first baby, I can just reuse the things I already have but at the moment, I will need to get a new pram now as her old one broke. xo

About 17 weeks, once we'd had tests back. We had had 5 scans by then!

I’m 20 weeks this week and I got my first item the day I had my 20 week scan

I brought a few bits after my 12 week scan but not loads. My 20 week scan is on Saturday so if everything is okay, I’ll start buying the main bits x

We bought our travel system after our 12 week scan and a couple of small bits so far, but we only bought the travel system because we went to a baby show and got an amazing deal, otherwise we would have waited until further down the line x
