I was too excited to wait..the day after we found out we went and bought bottles a box of diapers and white onesies, then after 12 weeks we bought a bunch of neutral clothes but i regret it because im having a girl so we went and traded them for pink stuff..everyone said it was too soon but to me you can never over spoil your baby and its sooo much fun!

I waited to find out the gender and wouldn't do it before second trimester because so much can happen

I waited until the second trimester to buy diapers and wipes. You could always buy neutral colored clothes that's what I did when I hit the second trimester. I waited to buy more clothes when I found out the gender. Its completely up to you .

I would wait til you're in the "safe zone", which is basically the second trimester. I wouldn't buy anything in the first because you never know what could happen.

Yeah I'd probably wait till I found out the gender. You can start on bottles, wipes, diapers. Stuff you can never have too much of. And maybe wait till after you have a baby shower if you're planning on one. I had a small one with about 10 people but they literally were all in a group message while shopping because we literally got everything we need! I just need about two more things that I think I need but that's all it!
