Baby clothes

When is a good time to buy baby clothes? I’m 9 weeks now and had an ultrasound last week and the baby was healthy. I miscarried in March at 5 weeks so I’m terrified of buying things too early in case something happens, but it’s so tempting to get stuff. When did everyone start buying things??

Towards the end, the 3rd trimester

Ughhh so far away lol but realistically it makes sense to wait 😭

At 9 weeks I bought things that was a really good price then I really started right at my 2nd trimester. Congrats 😊

I wanted until 12W and just went crazy if there was a good deal. I didn’t want to wait at all, I did have to mentally prepare myself for it something went wrong.

I'm 25+4 and have barely bought anything because I'm too superstitious. Clothes etc can be bought and delivered so quickly that I'm not rushing.

I was just in target and I was like you know what, i’m gonna wait til the 12 week mark and my second appointment near then. I’m kind of the same way, im nervous and I feel weird about if I buy something early then something will happen. hopefully all things will go well though 🙏🏻

yep I think I might wait til the 12 week mark as well. my next ultrasound is at 11 weeks so if everything goes well again by then, I’ll go for it. Just super nervous now

I started buying baby clothes that were either on sale or things I just really really wanted for whenever we eventually had a baby like a year before I found out about my baby boy on the way. It was a slight obsession but I figured either I would use them for my own babies or I could use them as gifts for other people and that turned into a whole tote full of baby stuff before I even got pregnant with him😂 I was probably 6-8 weeks when I bought the first clothes after finding out about baby boy though, and I also had a miscarriage 8 months prior to my boy and was only about 4 weeks so never even got to buy anything or see an ultrasound for my angel baby

2nd trimester

Avatar

I waited until 12wk scan but ultimately its whenever you feel comfortable

Avatar

I waited till I got out the first trimester

Avatar

I didn't buy things until late 2nd trimester. It was better to wait because we got a ton of clothes at our shower and when baby was born, so we definitely would have had doubles and things we didn't need if we had been stocking up all along. Waiting made sure we only had to fill gaps in certain sizes!

I waited until I was 23 weeks because honestly they say that when a baby life is savable If you were to go into labor early,. Looking back I wish I would’ve started before 23 weeks. She would have way more stuff by now. Lol but I didn’t
want to risk buying so much stuff if something were to happen, I would’ve been sad..

I bought 1 baby grow at 17 weeks, and then waited until my third trimester (from 30 weeks) to start buying everything

Avatar

I waited till the 20week scan and then bought

Avatar

As soon as I found out. Can always return stuff or save it for the next baby

Avatar

You kinda don’t need to buy a lot of stuff, especially for a newborn. Sets of 4-5 at most. They’ll grow out of it soooo fast. I’m in the 3rd trimester now and don’t have a single clothing item bought yet, because I knew that if I started early, I would overbuy.

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
