Superstition and scared

I am 20 weeks and haven’t bought anything, I am too scared to bring anything into the house and worried to jinx anything… what’s everyone else’s feeling on this? When did people start buying?

I’m the same! 18 weeks and haven’t bought a single thing and only last week went through a box of clothes I was gifted cause I’m so superstitious 😩

@Leonie I’m just scared to be disappointed or be surrounded by things and it go wrong. To the point where I got my friend some nappies but they were the wrong size so she said to keep them and I took them to my mums house to keep them there!

I am similar. I didn't buy anything until I had my 20 week scan this week and now I've started buying a few small bits. We've still time though!

@CiCi I feel you completely 😔 and since pregnancy has been brutal, I know I wouldn’t have the strength to ‘try again’ anytime soon.

@Leonie I think I might just do an Amazon prime when I am in labour 😂

@CiCi HAHA legend

@Leonie my friend literally did that! She didn’t know what she was having and didn’t want a load of gender neutral stuff so after she gave birth she just did a load of next day delivery! I think it’s the best plan haha

Was 20 weeks for my first but I’m thinking of waiting a little longer this time because I’m high risk and also scared

i’ve bought a little set and some sleepsuits from next cause i was buying clothes for my daughter so thought i might as well buy a few things. i’ve already got a few bits leftover from my first, plus if anything happens i’ll just donate the clothes to a mother and baby unit or something. i’m gonna hold out on buying the pram until a bit later on as i bought it at 18 weeks and rushed to buy it and ended up not liking it and having no room for it😂

I was told I am low risk pregnancy but I still d didn’t buy anything mainly cus it’s still a lot of time for it so I think I am going to buy when I am 7 plus months and now with fast delivery etc I don’t think it’s an issue anymore

I bought things after 12 week scan, only small bits nothing big, then going to buy pram and crib etc after 20 weeks x

I feel the exact same I’m so glad it’s not just me. I’m having my 20 week scan on Friday which I’m hoping will ease my anxiety; although it’s actually at 19w2d so then I’m feeling like it’s not 20 weeks so it’s not as certain everything is okay 🙈

1st pregnancy I didn’t but anything u til I was 35weeks! Then I hit John Lewis VERY HARD

I’m waiting til my 20 week scan I found with my first I ended up buying more stuff after they were born. But this time I will probably hit vinted for babygrows.
