It is completely up to you when you buy stuff, there are no rules. Enjoy shopping 😊

I had 2 miscarriages having not bought a single thing for baby. Buying baby stuff does not cause a miscarriage. It's not a jinx situation.

Do whatever you want! Although seems worth waiting til you’ve moved rather than having to take everything. Trust me, if you have a miscarriage the last thing on your mind will be worrying because you bought a baby item.

I was a bit superstitious about buying stuff early and then thought, if I have a miscarriage I'm not going to be more or less sad because I've bought some stuff already.

Show quote history

I get it. With my 3rd pregnancy I didn't start buying anything til really late. All that happened was I had to do everything last minute and didn't relax and enjoy the pregnancy. It's so hard when you've had losses.

As you're traveling it doesn't make sense to have to transport lots of stuff. How long will you be staying there after the baby is born?

Also, babies need very little really.

Up to you but just check with return policy and keeping tags on and recipets etc incase you do need to return.

We held off until after 20week scan. I think we were 24weeks. Before that time I only got 1 baby grow and 1 that and gloves more as a momento.
