Anyone 20+ weeks and not bought/organized anything yet?

[nicb26]

I haven't done anything!

After 2 mcs last year, I can't shake the feeling that I will somehow jinx things if I sort anything out. But at the same time, I have a few things that need to be bought and sorted before my due date.

Anyone else feel like this?!

I am just over 20w all I have is a few tops for christmas that are unisex and a first outfit. We are still waiting for gender scan in 2 weeks until we can start buying things although we have to wait until Sept to buy the rest as we need winter clothes. We will also be waiting until August for our house deposit back to buy pushchair and crib so its going to be a busy few months before baby comes getting it all ready

Me! I'm 24 weeks and had a few problems this pregnancy so I too feel I might jinx things if I start organising, but I am desperate to get started! Last time I left it to 30 weeks and I felt totally rushed!

I am nearly 25weeks so am starting to think of writing a list, but this is number 2 so we have most things already....I do want to get my hospital bag packed soonish just so I know it's done :-D

I have a crib set and a few clothes for my boys that I got at yard sales. Plus I was given a bag of 3-6 month clothes from a co-worker. I have yet to buy anything at a store. Although we plan on doing some shopping this weekend since our other 2 children are with their grandmother.

I've only started in the last few days as I didn't want to jinx things. Also I've had FIL telling me it's not a girl even after weeks of trying to talk to him so just not felt like I could.

I'm 19 weeks and not done a single thing! We have a whole room that needs stripping, plastering and painting, curtains etc. Still I have most of ds's stuff (albeit in bags, in the loft) so I reckon I could scrabble some stuff up!

I'm almost 25w and just yesterday picked a crib I think I want to buy online! I just moved into this house three weeks ago so I didn't want to buy things before moving. I need to really get on it though because I'm starting to feel anxious about it. This baby is moving around in there and getting bigger all the time and I still have nowhere for him to sleep!

We only have a crib, boob pump, and a highchair my dh is going potty wanted it all by now lol...

I've just started to buy a few used things at almost 26w. I had a late miscarriage last year and carrying twins with an active SCH just makes things even more scary.

Wait until you are comfortable, there is lots of time. The world won't end if baby arrives and you're missing a few things, friends family and your partner will be there to help.

I'm 23 weeks and only have a couple of items - I've had 4 early miscarriages and am taking each step at a time. We've only got the items we do have due to them being on offer, otherwise I would wait but like you, I know I can't wait forever. Do it whenever you feel ready - you won't jinx it, I have always been ultra cautious and it didn't change the outcome in my previous pregnancies.

I am just starting to get bits sorted as wirht working full time I don't have a lot of spare time to sort stuff but with DS being only 16 months I still have all of the stuff we need so really it is more sorting out his new room and going through his clothes for neutral items I can re-use etc, double buggy kit and blankets, hospital bag items etc I can't really buy her stuff yet as it is all summer stuff and she will be another winter baby but I am going to start picking up some babygro's etc when I see them

There is plenty of time I would say do it when you feel comfortable

I've not bought a thing. With DD I wouldn't but a thing until 24 weeks and V day had happened as I'm hugely superstitious. We have lots of things from DD and are team yellow, so will buy a few unisex outfits, but purposely bought lots of gender neutral things with DD as we knew we wanted another. We already have nearly everything else, just need to sort through the bags in the loft and get everything washed, which I'll do when I start my maternity leave at 34 weeks. I do need to sort a double buggy though. I was hopeful we'd get away with a buggy board on DD's travel system but DD is still heavily reliant on a pushchair x

 

[mummy2o]

I'm not buying anything until 26+ weeks. I had a late miscarriage last time so don't want to buy anything until I get to 24+ anyway. Plus DD still being little I have a lot of things anyway. Plus if your having a baby shower wait and see what others get you and fill in the gaps.

Last time I left it till 30+ weeks and I'll do the same this time. I've not sorted anything.

Popping over from 3rd tri

I'm 35 weeks and still haven't organised anything! We have all the stuff from DS1, I just need to sort it, plenty of time left! For now I'm just enjoying the peace and quite while DS is at preschool

I'm 23 weeks and havent done much yet. I'm having another girl so I have everything I need I just have to dig it out of storage, wash and organize. all I've done is set up the crib. We will need a second high chair and car seat when the time comes. I'm working right up until the end and I have a 15 month old that keeps me busy so it's going to be hard to find time, but I have a week off the end of July so I'm going to try to get as much "prep" done as possible. Had my prep done very early with my first, it's SO relaxing to have it done. I can see why you were hesitant but the chances of something happening now is pretty low, just try to enjoy it.

This is my first baby and I'm 23 weeks and I brought 1 outfit around 15 weeks and then I brought a few things like clothes after my 20 weeks scan as wanted to know the baby was healthy and I wanted to know the sex, I also picked up bit and bobs like travel shampoo and conditioner for my hospital bag as they were on deal, plus every now and again when I'm in town I might pick up something like nappies just to get started as I work all week so trying to get to the shops is a pain, plus I like to be organised.

Nearing 22 weeks, and I haven't so much as walked through a baby aisle at a store.

I have a crib and a changing table, from my last baby -- but he's still using the crib.

We have a 3 bedroom house, and the boys will need to be moved into the same bedroom so that I can use the smaller room as a nursery. That means I have to purchase some sort of combination bed (bunks or a trundle or something) so that they can both fit in the "bigger" room (its larger than the nursery, but 2x twin sized beds still won't fit in it) and we got rid of everything baby-related (besides the crib as its being used as a toddler bed and the changing table because nobody wanted it) and so I need EVERYTHING. I have so much work to do that I can't even start because I'm so overwhelmed!!

I've also been extremely tired still, as 2 kids and pregnancy during the summer is just more than I can handle apparently. I'm doing good to keep the kitchen clean enough to use. *sigh*

We *think* we're having a girl this time, but she had a foot in the way so we didn't get a clear potty shot and all he could tell us for sure was that the didn't see a penis (though it could have been behind the foot?). Therefore I'm not confident enough to buy any clothes, and we won't get a repeat ultrasound until 27 weeks.

I'm starting to feel panicked as time is going to very quickly run out and the bigger I get, the harder it gets to move, and the less I'm going to want to do anything. I want the boys in the same room before summer is out so that the bedroom combining doesn't interrupt sleep too much during the school year, but omfg.
