still too nervous to buy baby items ..

[mimmymoo]

i have a history of mc and stillbirth, im 24 weeks pg today and although i feel fairly confident all will go well this time im still reluctant to start looking around at baby items, let alone buy anything

my mum says i really have to make a start, or it will be a mad rush at the end, and my husband is itching to start buying (namely spurs baby bits)

just wondered when other mums who are currently pg after a loss plan to start getting their baby bits together ? perhaps i should just push myself ?

Aww hun, I am sorry for your losses. I think after MC is hard enough, but after stillbirth I can't even imagine.

I am 26 weeks and we have a few bits now, we mainly have brought something little after each scan, but a friend came round with bin bags of clothes which sort of pushed me a little! I still pick things up in a shop, then put them down and walk out. We have clothes that we brought when I was pregnant last time, but I was too scared at putting myself through that again.

Take little steps hun, do things at your pace and be comfortable. I am sure OH will understand.

hi, thanks for replying .. i guess i feel more confident about this pg now have reached 24 weeks, than i was say 3 weeks ago .. so hopefully it will feel more "real" as the pg progresses and it will feel natural to go out and buy few bits

I think it will hun. You have reached that golden 'viability' mark so the odds are well and truely in babes favour. When you feel ready, go for it. Even if it's just a little pair of socks, or if you think to yourself, "when I hit X weeks I will buy X" and stick to those goals. Good luck

I lost my first @ 20 weeks and with harry we had always decided to wait till after 20 week scan before buying anything. Now with this little lady we did the same, one cus i wanted to overcome the milestone of 20 weeks and 2 also so we knew the sex!

i had a MC in sept and i am only 16 weeks now but i decided i wanted to start buying stuff so i can bond better with little bubs. I even bought a package of newborn diapers- DH thinks thats a little early!
