I’m so tired of hearing this from my husbands side of the family. It’s a thing they do in their family not to buy anything for the baby until you hit the seventh month part. Because his mother had two late term miscarriages. My husband fully believes in this and it honestly stresses me out.

With my oldest we were living with his family while our house was being built so I felt obligated to do it and it sucked for me. I felt overwhelmed that we had to literally buy everything my son needed in two months, when I thought it would be more economical to space out our purchases instead of buying everything at once. But nope we waited 😐 and I went into early labor, but thankfully got it stopped, but it added to the stress knowing we didn’t even have a car seat to take him home or anything he needed.

Now I am 26w5d and I have the same concerns. I thought now we live in our own home I could skip the rule this time. NO such luck, every time I even go and look at the infant section my husband is right on my heels telling me no. It has gotten to the point where I snapped at him in the middle of Walmart. I felt terrible after but it just frustrates me so much. I’ve tired to explain how I feel but this stupid rule seems to be concrete. I’m not wanting to go on a shopping spree just to spend money that we don’t have, I’m just wanting to get a few things here and there so we don’t have to spends a big chunk of money all at once. I just want to feel prepared.
