Hmm, not getting PFB :(

Am 6 months pregnant, and genuinely not getting the PFB tendencies yet. Getting worried now!

We were kindly given a very generous gift by my parents to buy baby stuff,from big to small.

However, now that everything is ready, it turns out I've got literally everything from Ebay. Clothes - we've got about a hundred, bath support, reclining bouncer, reusable nappies massive collection of different makes, down to tummy tub, breastfeeding glider chair - everything came for pittance off ebay.

The only new items purchases include cot, mattress, sheets, car seat and pram. Those too are mothercare own or asda George own brands.

Why am I not getting the PFB feeling which makes me go and look for lovely new stuff?! I've for the money for the gift even. Instead we've just read tons of reviews and mumsnet threads for everything, noted down the recommendations and gone and got them off our local swap and sell FB group or ebay. And most of the gift money has gone in a bank account.

My SIL remarked that this is totally not PFB appropriate and it got me worried :(

I am also a bit of rational organised kinda person so not really gushing about baby yet rather getting tasks ticked off a sheet. I am now worried if there's something wrong with me!

I thought PFB referred to stuff mums did after the baby was born.

Haha also one that had never heard the word before. I am 38weeks + and probably still not PFB. I just thought I'd get the essentials and see what happens after birth. I've had several gifts so far though (friends & colleagues). I bought most things in sale. Went to Mothercare the other day and the only thing I could think of was, why is everything so expensive?!? We've also got some monetary gifts that we've decided to put aside. You can invest it into something for baby or keep it and use it for something that baby definitely needs later on
