This is my first baby and first pregnancy. I haven't bought a thing yet, and I'm completely mystified and baffled by everything out there, and so my natural reaction is to just do nothing, which may not be entirely useful!
I'm not planning on buying anything until after my 20 week scan, but even then, where do you start? Mothercare seem to be out to bankrupt you! I can't afford to spend £400 or £500 on a buggy or a pram, so that's going to have to be second hand, but what other big purchases do I need?
Anyone found any useful lists? I'm hoping my antenatal classes will be good sources of advice, and that I'll work it out as I get a bit nearer my due date. Need to get some work done at home too, got to get a light fitting moved in the spare room so my huge wardrobes can go there, so I can then clear out all the junk from the baby's room. Maybe then I'll start to feel like I have some idea what needs to go into the room.
Anyone else as baffled as me?
