Am I crazy ?

Is it normal to be upset that every time I want to buy something for the baby everyone tells me not to buy anything before the baby shower ? That everyone is gonna magically show up and buy everything the baby needs ? I feel like I can’t be prepared at all that I have to wait and it’s so incredibly frustrating

You have the right to buy whatever you want for your baby. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable. I was told when I had my girls that I was crazy not to buy anything until I was 20 weeks along. I had a miscarriage at 15 weeks before my oldest was born.

I would definitely not listen to them and buy the most important things or things you might need the most , everybody told me the same thing and I ended up being on bed rest and going to pre term labor so I wasn’t even able to buy anything or go to the store anymore and at the end those same people wernt even there , me and my husband bought everything alone all last minute when she was born

It makes me upset too :(

Buy whatever you want . I have a whole rack full of clothes I like for my baby . People end up buying you what they like

Buy what you want! When I was gifted stuff for my first born, a lot of people bought me, Johnson & Johnson soaps lotions and clothes I bought her bottles, I was gifted pacifiers after finding, which one was her favorite and I ended up having to go buy soap lotion and diapers because she ended up having super sensitive skin and eczema so I couldn’t use what I was gifted. With this one, I was very specific with the things that I will accept and told everyone that if they buy me something that’s not the specific brand that I asked, for I will be asking for the receipt to return it. If they get upset about it, that’s on them they had the opportunity to get the right thing the first time now I’m just using their mistake to get the right thing instead of letting their money go to waste

Buy what you want it’s your money and your baby! I personally waited for after the baby shower because I didn’t want to buy things I would get at the shower. But I also didn’t mind waiting.

I was told the same thing my last pregnancy. Very few people bought from the registry. I ended up purchasing mostly everything. It didn’t bother me that I bought mostly everything but it did bother me that I kept being told that and literally a handful of people bought small items from it. I was stuck buying everything last couple of months and I felt rushed.

Upset? It’s not that deep. Do what you want anything else is extra.
