[Xbryoni&bumpX]

im miffed on when to start buying stuff for the bubs worried that it may be to soon, maybe to wait till next scan but thats not till april, jus wanna get sum bits when did everyone start buying theirs?

I havn't.. But I've done alot of window shopping, and I got some bits. Nothing major apart from my buggy

I am waiting to ensure that baby is ok during my scan next month. I am also awaiting the gender. Truly believe it is a girl, but I could be wrong for the first time out of my three pregnancies. LOL

Since I thought I was done with my second child (apparently not) I want to make sure this pregnancy is going well and the sex is confirmed before I have to go out and buy baby stuff all over again.

I ordered the crib and dresser/changing table just before christmas because the set I chose takes for ever to come in, up to 16 weeks. Well, if it does take that long, then it will be only 4 weeks before my due date that it arrives.

We have ordered the glider as well, since that takes 10-12 weeks to be delivered.

Aside from a few little outfits, I have not bought anything else.

im going to register at babies r us after the 20 week scan, My baby shower is not till the end of June but i wanna have some fun dong something so 20 week scan is 3/18 sometime after that ill go have some fun, I have bought 2 special onsies to me so far. im being good for the most part...lol

I started buying after my 13 week scan. It's better for us to try and buy a little bit at a time, rather than try to buy it all at once.

We have bought diapers, wipes, bottles, a package of onesies and some bath stuff. We are waiting to get our taxes done to see if we are getting money back and waiting for our scan on the 22nd to see what we are having before we buy the big stuff. Our rule is supposed to be that every time we go to WalMart that we are supposed to buy something for the baby.

We bought a lot of bigger bits early on, too early in fact and ended up with no space. Id suggest buying small bits from around 3 months (clothes, bedding, toiletries for example) then get your cot, pram and all the other furniture last (make sure you don't order too late) - we had most of our stuff by the time I was about 7 months.

I haven't bought a thing yet but have found that lots of friends/ family had saved things which they've started passing on. Only thing is I haven't a clue what to expect from people and so can't really buy anything. Am determined to buy some vests and stuff this weekend though when OH is home so it feels more real. Also off to Boots to buy some nappies so I get my free nappy changing bag! It's all good

 

[leeanne]

I did buy something today....a doppler off of Ebay. LOL Sheesh, I didn't have one with my other pregnancies but I need to have it now? UGH!

 

[Rachel]

I bought quite alot since I had my 1st scan but only small things like nappies, wipes, dummies, bottles ect.

Won't be buying any clothes, blankets ect until I know the sex of the baby

Im also going to leave buying bigger things like crib, new cot ect until im around 30 weeks

 

[Shannon]

I waited until my 18 week scan first to know the scan and also to see everything was okay. But a week after I bought her a bunch of outfits and I will be registering in a week or two for the baby shower (a little early but family wants it) I would wait at least until 16 -20 weeks but thats just me I am a worry wort

 

[Tegans Mama]

We have to buy things slowly, over time (we have the pram and a moses basket already) because OH gets paid once a month and I don't get paid at all as I don't work, so we're making the most of the money we have

 

[Firsttimer]

I started buying early think from 12 weeks .... I have everything now dont need nothing apart from maybe couple more packs of breast pads apart from that I have everything I am glad that I have as money is really tight now and wouldnt have been able to afford what ive bought already now.
