When the best time to start buying baby gears and clothes?

Question

I’m a first time mommy, everyone told me not
to start buying baby things until after 18 weeks due to early miscarriages “Chinese old tale” I’m 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant, I was thinking about starting when I’m 12 weeks along. Hmmmm🤔

Answer

We always started when we found out the gender. We would save up money and then find it the gender and then spend that money! It can't hurt to buy 1 or2 gender neutral things

Answer

While still in my first trimester, my hubby and I bought a swing, changing table, baby bath, and bassinet through our neighborhood garage sale Facebook page for cheap. I don't think there's any harm in buying inexpensive stuff now. I do think you should save big ticket items for much later though.

Answer

I would wait until 20 weeks so you’ll be more in the safe zone.
Plus their is a chance you’ll might have an idea of the sex by then :)

Answer

I started buying gender neutral stuff right away after I found out I was pregnant because it was garage sale season and I knew that once baby came, it would be like 3-4 months before any garage sales started again. I saved a ton of money doing that and was able to find a lot of things that were practically new and some things that still had tags on them.

Answer

I didn't start until after my shower which was at 33 weeks. It's my first so I was going to have a shower and I knew I would get a lot of stuff so I didn't bother until after and then got what else I needed. 
We out money aside for any of the things we would need. 
If your having a shower and you know a lot of people or a decent Amount of people will come you will most likely get tons of clothes and hopefully get a lot of the needed things. 
I think I've bought maybe 3 outfits cause I wanted to and she is all set with clothes for a year after my shower.

Answer
