When should I start buying for baby?

I'm 16 weeks tomorrow and unsure when I should start buying anything. This is my first time 🙈

I started with all the big stuff from around that time, I’m 26 weeks now & have only just started buying clothes 🫠. Don’t panic, take your time x

I've got the big bits as they were on offer! I'm 17 weeks!
Haven't got clothes or anything just yet! But will do once we've had our gender party next weekend!
I've wrote a list and just working on it bit by bit!

Anytime! Always look for deals! I’m buying a lot on black friday😂

Too nervous to buy anything before 20 weeks. Nearly there now

oooh good point!! I actually forgot about black Friday 😂😂

Thanks guys! Just wasn't sure whether to wait until after 20 weeks when they check if baby is either growing small or at the rate they would expect before I buy clothes at least. I'm only 4ft 9 so bit nervous about the scan but excited to see baby again 🥰
Black Friday does sound like a good idea I didn't think about that thank you! @Kennedi

I started buying a small item every few weeks from the beginning as a reward for feeling so awful!
Buy things whenever you want to 💕

Hi Katie, I’d recommend going to the baby show in London this month! Xxx

I'm a first time momma myself and haven't started buying anything yet. At 18 weeks now and keep saying I'll start when I know the gender.. 😅😅

I got loads off of Facebook marketplace, charity shops and car boot sales,baby doesn't care if it's new and shiny, if it works. Probably started picking bits up from 12 weeks as I saw good deals

I'm 18 weeks.. us and grandparents started buying stuff around 10 weeks once we got out nipt testing back and found out we're having a girl. We actually have almost everything we need minus diapers and wipes and meds to keep on hand and things like baby wash lotion etc. Lol and we haven't even had a baby shower yet lol

I'm 16 weeks tomorrow and I've got a few things including my pram 🫣 I got an amazing deal on my pram and it was too good to pass up

I’m the same, I haven’t got anything yet!!

I havent got anything yet, my mind is a bit on house improvements we’re doing and the exam next month, it’s too much to do everything right now😳

I haven’t brought anything I’m waiting for gender but does anyone have a list of the baby needs ? I’m a first time single mum so I’m worried I will forget to buy something🥹

if you can message me I’ll send you my list! Xx

@Lisaasil in the item description it gives the weight limits. There's also straps to secure it to the wall, it is pretty sturdy without it though.

Owlet sock worth it?

Anyone use the owlet sock for newborn? Is it worth the price and what are some pros / cons?

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

So ready for second trimester 🥲

I really really hate the first trimester. It’s exhausting, no appetite, not enough hours to get the amount of sleep I need, headaches, smell sensitivity, and overall just feeling like crap! And I don’t want to announce anything until 14 weeks since I’ve had losses before, and it’s getting really hard to hide it from my friends. Two more weeks to go….

Just needed to vent to others who understand!

Anxiety

I’m 10 weeks and I have had so much anxiety probably for the last 2-3 weeks I already deal with anxiety but it was a tad bit easier shaking it off when I wasn’t pregnant.. I am on medication but doesn’t seem to be doing much tbh— I see a lot of yall say it’s a first trimester thing but this is my 3rd baby and I don’t remember being this anxious especially bc sometimes I’m just laying and heart rate reaches the the 120s am I the only one? Please help with suggestions. I don’t want to feel like this.. I know pregnancy is hard but fudge this makes it’s harder 😔😔😔

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.
