Too Soon?

Hiya, I'm 18 weeks pregnant and I'm not to sure if it's too soon to start buying things for my baby.  This is my first pregnancy and I'm still fairly young (20 to be exact) so when I see things in the sale I'm tempted to buy them. I don't know the gender of my baby yet (I find that out in 2 weeks) but things like prams, rocking chairs etc I'm really tempted to buy.. Just wanted to know when you guys started buying things for your baby because I don't want to jinx anything :-)

I wanted to go shopping as soon as I found out I'm having a boy but keep in mind your gonna get all kinds of stuff if you throw a baby shower, I got a few outfits and started buying diapers and big things like crib, bassinet, rocking chair and changing table but most everything else you will more likely get as gifts

A pram is a pushchair (buggy), lol

I think I'll probably start shopping when I reach 20 weeks because then I'll be half way & also my 2nd scan should confirm that my baby is growing healthy and put my mind at rest. Hopefully I don't miss all the sales lol

I started getting things here and there. We got a 2nd hand pram today was 500retail. And we got it 2nd hand at $120. So excited for that. Everything is done except a cot and i want a fancy one. Its $1500. So i think il ask ppl to give us cash for babyshower. :) oh and im only in mango week 19. :)

I started buying diapers at 13 weeks ill be 18 weeks Saturday exactly and I find out the sex next Friday i would say anything you kno you want but probably wouldn't get at ur baby shower start buying! I got a membership at Costco strictly for diapers! This is my1st also but they say u go through 300 diapers in a month! So that's where I started. But I don't wanna buy a lot of other stuff in hopes people will buy for me for my baby shower! Lol
