1st baby about 14 weeks. Just after the 12 week scan confirmed everything was okay. 2nd baby about 1 month before !!!

SenoraPostrophe · 09/05/2005 21:07

about 7 months. I bought the absolute minimu too (pram, few vests, cot blanket) because i was scared I would jinx the pregnancy.

SenoraPostrophe · 09/05/2005 21:08

I don't think i bought anything for ds, bless him. I did sort out dd's baby clothes at about 38 weeks though.

expatinscotland · 09/05/2005 21:08

didn't buy a thing. EVERYTHING was given to us by parents, other family members, friends.

AngelCakeUmm · 09/05/2005 21:13

I still have a few things like the swinging crib, vests,baby grows, cot mattress which still looks brand new. Need to get a cot though.I have bottle steraliser although i am going to start by trying breast feeding.

DP wouldn't let me buy anything until the 23 weeks scan confirmed the sex - then I went mad buying pink pink pink.

This time going to buy the minimum once we know the sex as you get so many presents he/she will never wear it all.

AngelCakeUmm · 09/05/2005 21:27

sweetkitty in the back of my mind i am sort of hoping to be able to buy pink pink pink only because i have not had the chance as yet! But saying that i would love a ickle bro for my ds.

I had a rule, don't buy anything more than 3 months before I might need it, otherwise I would have filled my house with too much!

hoxtonchick · 09/05/2005 21:30

haven't bought anything yet for this baby, & i'm 31 weeks. have got lots of stuff left over from ds, & we're going to inherit lots of girlie stuff. am a bit wary of buying things though, want the baby out first....

artyjoe · 09/05/2005 21:44

Bought a new car specially for the baby at 6 weeks pregnant! Once I had bought that it seemed silly to worry about buying the cot etc!

compo · 09/05/2005 21:45

I was really cautious and was going to wait right til the last minute. Unfortunately MIL decided this was a sign that we were too poor to get anything so went mad and bought vertially everything when I was about 5 months. I was really looking forward to choosing my own cot mobile etc too

Donbean · 09/05/2005 21:45

20 weeks, after scan and settling in my mind that i was going to have a baby this time.

Katemum · 09/05/2005 21:46

I bought far too much both times and was wandering around the shops looking and buying little bits as soon as I found out. I now have so much stuff in this house and need to think about getting rid of it but can't bear to.

foxd · 09/05/2005 21:47

Little things like srcratch mitts I bought early on with my first I couldn't resist, although left things like bedding, cot and pushchair till I was around 6-7 months. Purely because new designs get coming out and I didnt want to get something and then decide id rather have something else.

hotmama · 09/05/2005 21:48

Started serious shopping at 6 months but still was finishing the nursery a week before I was due - and then dd was 9 days late!

bobbybob · 09/05/2005 21:48

Bought one hat after seeing midwife for first time to celebrate.

Didn't buy anything else until after 20 week scan in case it was twins.

Bought gender neutral clothing.

LooneyLaura · 09/05/2005 22:15

First baby, about 20wks after scan.
This time I'm due in 5wks and I bought a couple of baby grows from Asda yesterday!
Really should be thinking about packing and stuff, but so busy all the time with DD(2yrs).

bought first outfits the day i got a positive pregnancy test!

Libb · 09/05/2005 23:17

I made the mistake of drifting into Baby shortly after the sexing scan - came out with lots of cuddly cute stuff.

Then spent 4 months folding and unfolding them up and marvelling at the tiny sizes. Am now sick to death of folding baby clothes, how do you do a sleepsuit exactly??

Libb · 09/05/2005 23:18

Baby Gap that is . . .
