Shopping

Hi all. How far long in your pregnancy did you wait until you starting shopping for baby items?

I started shopping early, this is my 2nd pregnancy and for me it's better to buy throughout my pregnancy so I'm not spending large amounts at once. Instead I'm spending little here and there.

10 weeks, bought a package of diapers and wipes every week until we found out what we were having. Then we switched to buying clothes, carseat & stroller etc.

I started a few years ago when we tried the first time. Didnt get pregnant then but surprise two years later and off birth control for less than a month and got pregnant :-). What you can do and what we did after we stopped trying the first time was set up a separate savings account that does not have a debit card so you wont be tempted and just put money in it as you get paid or whenever you feel like buying something. It adds up quick and then when you are ready you xan have a nice shopping spree. I got big stuff around 16 weeks because it took almost ten weeks for everything to come in. Slowly buying little stuff anf buying things with money relatives from other states send as gifts. Baby shower on sunday when I will be 31+3 weeks and then I will see what else I need.
