So all prego women are excited to have a baby on the way. Is it really bad luck to buy baby stuff so early in your pregnancy. Really I want to start stocking up on
I waited till I was out of the first trimester. After twelve weeks, the chances of mc dramatically decreases. It's different for each woman, but I couldn't imagine losing my babe, and having to see baby stuff aka physical reminders every day. But that's just me.
My family pushed me not to buy anything either. I was upset at first, but eventually saw their point, & now am thankful. Ask said, daily reminder would be hard..
@natashalynn that is true about mc but the sad reality is some women lose their babies even at full term pregnancy. I just want prepare and buy stuff with time you know?
Yes that's true, but its much less common. Trust me, there's lots of time to buy stuff...forty weeks is a way longer time than it sounds. Lol But to each their own!! Good luck.
I wouldn't worry about diapers and bottles...I would just start saving your money for the big stuff like a bed, carseat and a swing or so. With my first I wasted my time and money on stuff and never used it. Becareful with clothes because the baby might be too large for newborn clothes and diapers lol. I know I only used newborn diapers for like a month then she was in a bigger size. Just keep that in mind.
I would just set the money aside, on like a giftcard or something. You'll prob get a ton of stuff at your shower and then you'll have money saved for the things you still need. And like with diapers and clothes, you just don't know what sizes you'll need.
I think its a great idea to buy something little as soon as you can. If you are buying a bassinet and crib, buy it after your first trimester. No need to wait until you know what it is. Cribs and bassinets are normally neutral and will help you tremendously! With our first, we had everything we needed including diapers at 24 weeks. Now with our second, its another girl but we waited to buy anything until we found out the sex, im now 33 weeks and we are scrambling to get everything we still need! Go for it and buy stuff whenever YOU want! congrats hun
I dont believe its bad luck, I'm 22wks and don't have much. A couple outfits and a bassinet. I didn't wann buy anything bc my last pregnancy I lost it at 8wks. I just didn't wanna get ahead of myself. I started buying stuff after I found out it was a little girl
I totally believe in being prepared. Go for it. Yeah it may not be as common but I lost one of my twins 6 days b4 I had them. & I'm going to start buying stuff in june. It is in my second trimester but we have some other stuff like paying for c-section that we have to get done. Otherwise I would already have stuf bought up.
I guess it wouldnt hurt to wait. It is scary about a miscarriage had one back in october 2010. Im 7 wks Ive heard the baby's heart already. My previous pregnancy I never heard the heartbeat. I hope this pregnancy goes well my only daughter is 11 so its been a while since I had a baby in our home. I cant wait!!!!!!
