First baby - What do i actually need?!

[purpletangerine]

Hello!
I am 6 weeks pregnant and just trying to think and plan ahead.
When it comes to actually buying items for your first baby, what do you actually need? Like baby monitors and nappy bins etc.
What did you buy that you actually used and what was a pointless purchase?
TIA
