my FIRST baby? like almost immediately after i found out i was pregnant lol but my second baby…😵💫🙊that’s a different story
Before I got pregnant
@Annie lol! I was almost the same but my husband held me back. I started around 20 weeks.
@Jess I started around the same week.
I’m 34 weeks almost and I haven’t bought anything for my baby 😂🥲
I bought a children’s book on a cruise 🚢 with my fiancé when he wasn’t dead set on having kids. lol we have two now. 😂
Clothes was nearly instantly as I get all excited but only a few bits until the first scan After the scan I had brought alot of big essentials so with my first we brought the pram after the 12 week scan but if anything was to happen I could take it back plus they kept it until nearer my due date but my 2nd used the same pram so I got it out the loft snd cleaned up about 2 months before she arrived as I knew she wasn't going to be a 40 weeker 🤣
First thing was socks and a travel stroller (my grandma technically bought the stroller though) right after my 20 week ultrasound when we found out we were having a boy. I had everything researched earlier including when the best sales would be.
This was the first baby for both my husband and my sides of the family. So I only really bought the big stuff that was too expensive to be lifted, like the carseat, crib, Dresser, stroller and I waited until like the last 2 months or so of my pregnancy. Everything else we have, we got gifted to us. I think I've only bought a couple of clothing items since she was born, the grandma's love buying her clothes and things.
A couple of things before I got pregnant then started looking at all the necessities pretty much as soon as I got pregnant, and bought things gradually over the whole pregnancy. Can't imagine waiting longer personally
After baby shower . Majority of everything was pass me down from family and friends. We were set for the first year or two.
Honestly i waited til after my baby shower, so that i can see what was given first. My friend recommended me doing this and im glad i did!
I was pretty early haha, I just couldn’t wait to buy her little outfits.
The day I found out I was pregnant at like 3 weeks lol

After baby shower and then waited for Black Friday and cyber Monday sales after shopping used where I could. Was trying to save money where I was able.
I luckily didn’t have to buy much for him because we have family that had babies but I bought him some clothes and started buying those after 15 weeks, when I found out his sex. Would have bought some earlier if I could lol I was always in that baby aisle looking at all the cute clothes.
I was 24 weeks before I even bought a pack of pacifiers. I had 3 miscarriages before that, and was terrified that I would lose him too. I couldn't even get excited about it until he had hit the viability standard. Second child was another boy so I didn't have to buy him anything.
As soon as I found out I started stocking up on diapers and wipes. She’s 4 months and I have bought diapers or wipes since. I have up to size 6
The week after the positive test
After 20 week scan and all was confirmed okay with baby
