When to start shopping?

[Layney]

What week into pregnancy did you start buying stuff for the baby? Don't want to start too early but I rather be organised before I get too far into pregnancy.

I started at 20 weeks with all of mine

Trawling hot deals for offers already

I started at about 12 weeks, at the beginning of tri 2 when I found out the gender. Don't go overboard at 4 weeks yet, it's a bit risky.

I didn't start buying anything until around 25 or 26 weeks! And even until now at 29 weeks I only have a few bits and pieces... I knew if I started early it would feel like so much longer until baby is here, and also I might end up going crazy and buying too much! I'm trying to buy only the essentials for now, and things we find good deals on etc, and anything else we find we need later on we can get then.

I started at 16weeks when I found out I was having a little girl. I have only been buying odd bits such as clothes and bibs but I haven’t brought anything newborn yet and I’ve only brought a next to me cot as it was an amazing offer! X

After 20 I bought a couple of bits and people started giving us stuff. I just wanted to check all was ok as we had a rocky start before we got lots of stuff.
