Too early to buy things?

Question

I know I’m only little over 4 weeks pregnant but this is my first ever pregnancy and although I can’t quite believe that I’m finally pregnant after all the months of trying, I’m having to really try and keep my excitement in check. 
I can’t help but want to start looking for baby furniture, prams, clothes etc. Does anyone else feel like this? 
I have a high stress job and so I’m used to having a couple of glasses of wine after work to relax maybe three times a week. Now I know that baby is coming I won’t touch alcohol but instead I’m now left with this urge to prepare for the baby’s arrival.
We haven’t told anyone about the pregnancy as want to keep it on the down low until the 12 week scan and I’m finding it hard not being able to share the information with anybody and feeling like it’s too early to prepare. I’ve just had the most exciting news of my life but I can’t tell anyone or buy anything. 
I’m looking forward to the 12 week scan so much as that’s when I can start to feel that this is really happening. Anyone else feel this way?

Answer

Omg I’m in the exact same position and same weeks along as you.

Answer

I told my parents and in laws, and they all want to buy stuff already! I’m holding off! But that’s just because I’m being cautious. 
I did start to make a registry though 😈

Answer

Me too. I started with cleaning my apt, trying to declutter, etc. This is something i had to do anyway so it just motivated me to do it now while i can rather than later. I totally started researching best registry items & companies, as well as maternity clothes shopping on amazon (watch a bunch of youtubers & their pregnancy lookbooks & recommendations) & created baby List & pregnancy list. Look for baby shower expos that show you baby products, food, etc- super fun!! And they give free samples. Its hard not to get excited about it. Congrats & Best of luck!!!!

Answer

I'm not buying anything until midtrimester or later.   I'm older and my risk of miscarriage is higher.  Plus my beloved sister in law is moving next door in two months, with really cute hand me downs from her two year old.   
My kids are 8 and 11 years old, were had them when i was still in training.  We are debt averse so I thrifted, bought from Craig's list and made do.  We bought new the breast pump and an arms reach cosleeper.  We are comfortable now but old habits die hard and i don't see myself splurging on a set.

Answer

I started making my registry as soon as I found out. Yesterday I bought a few onesies and outfits I had picked out from my registry that were on clearance and tonight we are going to buy a wood cradle I found on FB marketplace. It looks like it needs to be sanded and refinished so it give my husband plenty of time to have it ready for December.

Answer

You can buy stuff whenever your heart desires! I have already been looking at some gender neutral clothing and prams since he/she will be born in December. I’m just so excited I want to purchase something. My last pregnancy I bought a crib at 8 weeks. And a glider and dresser at 10. So this time I don’t have all that to buy but I’m feeling to urge to purchase just anything I can haha.

Answer

We already bought a crib and dresser with changing table. It’s even already out together lol. My husband was too excited to wait.

Answer

I've looked at a lot of baby stuff and picked out all the main things for our registry, but I've just bought a few small things like onsies and blankets. Trying to wait until 12w to buy anything else but it's definitely hard lol

Answer

With my first I didn’t buy things until I was 25weeks😂😂
