23 weeks pregnant and anxious

[Fatima747]

Hi all just had a few worries. I’m 23 weeks pregnant and with all the current issues and shop closures, should I start doing baby clothes shopping already? The only big thing we need to get is a bounce. And the fact that I’m scared to go out is horrible.

I’m 27 weeks and have panic bought most things online now (barely got anything actually from shops). It’s probably a good idea to get things if you can, because we have no idea what will be available in a months time or 2 months time etc.

@Catlover10 can I ask what you’ve bought to prepare. I’m 28 weeks with my first and not sure what I should get early?

This is my first too, I actually googled something like “newborn baby kid to buy” to come up with most things. I have things like a cotbed, Moses basket, changing bag and things to go in a changing bag like nappies and wipes and sudocream, some clothes, changing mat, a baby bath, a bit of baby formula, breast pads, blankets, a travel system. Will be getting bottles and dummies soon. There are very thorough lists you can find on google which I found helpful and I’m sure not all things are essential but I’m trying to be as prepared as possible in case things are out of stock nearer my due date.

Things to buy* not kid to buy 🤦🏻‍♀️😫😂

Thank you! I assumed I could shop nearer the time but I will try and start now. Even considering a month supplies of nappies and some calpol. If I can find any.

Can anybody recommend me good shops where I can get good quality baby clothes that are not too expensive x

@Thatasiangirl tbh I found a lot of things on amazon. You can compare lots of different prices on there and the delivery is so easy!
