Start shopping?

Question

I'm 33 weeks pregnant... Due on October 13th and not having a baby shower. All I have are clothes and a basinet. When should I go shopping for the rest of the stuff I need? I feel like everyone else is so prepared and set already.

Answer

I would say start now and give yourself time so that you can take your time with it. Also it might make sense to still open a registry - even though there's no shower you can get a discount off of things you add to it as part of a completion discount. Make it easy on yourself and shop Amazon (they offer a registry with a 15% completion discount and they carry most of the same stuff at Target, Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby, etc). With prime shipping, everything will fly to your house on magical little wings in 2 days!

How have you managed to NOT buy stuff? That's some crazy willpower right there. I had everything we NEED from birth to 1 year by 22 weeks. Everything I WANT birth-1yr by 30 weeks.

Answer

I feel so overloaded with baby crap right now. I actually envy you. I wish we would have gotten it later. You really don't need that much in the beginning- car seat, diapers, bottles just in case, wipes, some clothes, the bassinet, and stuff for baby baths.

Answer

Definitely should grab a car seat soon! Otherwise, you're probably alright. I hadn't gotten anything until my shower today, but the clothes, diapers, pack-n-play/bassinet/crib, and car seat are a must!

Answer

We don't have much either. I despise clutter with all of my heart and soul so we have the clothes people gave gifted us plus a few more, a stroller and a bed. I feel like after the baby comes we'll figure out what we actually need and buy it then (or send my mom or mil out to buy it).

Answer

I would start now. Because baby can come anytime after your 36 week mark.

Answer

Second hand stores I'm on baby pages on Facebook and have gotten a lot off of there. I have gotten 90% of my stuff on my own. I have everything needed until 6months.except bottles. Even got cloth diapers.
