Buying things..

Shantiee · Apr 7th, 2012, 19:00 PM

So I've seen the pram and cot that I want to get but I was just wondering when did everyone else feel it was the right time to get the big things?

I'm waiting to get anything until after the 20 week scan. i'm not sure if i want to find out the sex or not and I'm sure that I will be more sure then. i've been looking online though!

You could get it now if you want Hun. I'll get mine in June for my baby shower

Whenever you want, really.

Any time - if you see something you like, I reckon you should just go for it.
Personally, I've tried to spread out the process of buying baby gear throughout my pregnancy, as time just seems to drag by if you buy absolutely everything in the early days... But perhaps don't leave too much to the last minute though, as you might not be able to walk around shops as comfortably in a few weeks than you will be able to do now lol.

I bought little things, clothes, nappies and toys gradually throughout my pregnancy. The bigger stuff i left till later on. I got the nursery furniture the other week, only because we didn't have the space and it takes up a lot of room!
I tried to get a lot in the sales too. Nothing worse than seeing something you bought full price get reduced!

i've bought all the nursery interior like the bumper, mobile, sheets, changing mat, curtains etc but leaving the bigger things like the cot + changer until later, purely cos we've got no room to store any of it as our nursery's in the 'removing christmas decorations and other poo' process (it's literally a store room!)

my cousin went out and bought hers the day after her 20 week scan though

it's whenever you feel ready i guess, and how prepared you are with your nursery!

When you feel ready really, there's no need to rush into buying big things that will take up space though, I'm only getting my pram at the start of next month and our cot then too

It's up to you. I'm waiting to buy the big stuff sometime after 30 weeks (and I'm 30 weeks on Tuesday) but have bought things like clothes already.
