Is it too soon to buy baby stuff??

Question

I’m only 4 weeks and 3 days but really want to buy stuff for baby! Is it too soon? Who here has bought baby stuff? Is it good luck or bad luck??

Answer

Do what makes you happy! I wouldn’t go crazy but a couple of onesies won’t hurt! ❤️ I think it’s such a dumb stigma to wait until 2nd trimester to announce, 3rd trimester to buy stuff. Like if I miscarry why does it have to be a secret? Just my thoughts! ☺️

Answer

Personally it's way too early not because of good and bad luck. I usually start at the beginning af the third trimester for clothes and bathing stuff. If it's baby furnitures, around the second trimester because these things has to be put together in order to set up the nursery.

Answer

As someone who just miscarried, wait. We got excited as I found out at 12DPO and I got a bottle rack holder and a few other small things from TJ Maxx that totaled up to maybe like $30. We miscarried yesterday.
Wait, but still enjoy it. We started buying stuff early because the pregnancy caught us off guard wanted to be prepared, now the stuff is just a huge reminder that I miscarried. I don’t believe us buying stuff was bad luck but I will say I definitely wish I hadn’t.

Answer

Personally, I would wait. If you buy something and things don't work out, it'll make you sad. I miscarried and then something I bought arrived in the mail a week later. It was awful. I'm so excited to be able to start shopping this time around, but won't start until 12 weeks.

Answer

For my first child, we waited until the 2nd trimester to announce and buy anything. It’ll be the same for this nubbin. We did buy some booties and a few maternity clothes, but our paranoia held us back. 
Once we hit the 20 week anatomy scan, we went crazy buying things.

Answer

I bought the baby one footie onesie to celebrate. It felt good and wasn’t a lot of $$. Buy a little something to commemorate, but don’t buy a big item like a swing or crib or something.

Answer

I found out at 3 weeks + 5 days, but I’d already been shown slight symptoms and SO and I kind of just knew I was pregnant. Got BFP, got a blood pregnancy test to make sure; and then I couldn’t help but buy an adorable burts bees onesie & jacket, and a couple stuffed animals. I have Aphantasia (meaning I can’t visualize using my minds eye, or I have a blind imagination) so buying these things helped make it more real for me, something tangible to remind me and make me smile. I’d say, don’t go crazy, but a couple small things don’t hurt, just remember we’re not out of the woods yet.

Answer

I just bought a really cute onesie that was on sale to get free shipping on clothes for my toddler. 😂 I waited a lot longer with my first, but I’d been eyeing that onesie for awhile so I couldn’t resist!

Answer

I personally want to buy all things lol but waited with my daughter and will for the next u til we know gender. Especially clothes. When they’re very little, the o lay thing that lets people know the gender when out or in pictures is the way they’re dressed. So say if it’s a girl, you’re probably not really going to want to put them in a boyish gender neutral outfit except around the house. We actually did buy a gender neutral sleeper when we found out with my daughter and if it had been a boy we would have used it, but we never put it on her because I didn’t think she looked like a girl😂 
It’s a personal opinion tho. If it will make you happy, then I say totally go for it just maybe not overboard yet

Answer

I would wait. Its soooo exciting but the risk of miscarriage is so much higher in the first 6 weeks especially and until the first trimester is up..
