I started buying diapers at about 4 months
along. I bought diapers every payday and
stocked up. Diapers never go bad so I
could stock pile them easily. ;)
i didn't know the sex of the baby, so
bought mainly generic t-shirts, etc.
There isn't a 'set' time when you start
buying things. Just whenever. By 8
months though, you should be ready to go.

I bought quite alot like a wooden high
chair,baby bath,some cloths and terries
nappies and then I miscarried ,i'll be
2months pregnant again this friday coming
and I think i'll wait untill after my 3rd
month (if I get that far) as after the 3rd
month the chances of miscarriage are
greatly decreased,not impossible but you
have better chances.The only thing i'm
buying are books as i'm a lover of all
books and when you usualy see a book you
want to but for your children I always
find that I can never find it again.Good
luck,jadexxxx

Chances of miscarraige after 18 months are
very small. I'd start. That way you
won't have to buy it all at once, you can
spread out the cost of everything.

I'm 17 weeks and we already bought the
crib and dresser/changing table and we
just bought our stroller/travel system
last weekend. Other than that i've just
bought a few small things here and there
like stuffed animals or clothes.

With my first child I started right away.
I bough a lot of stuff for him and a
crib. However I got really sick at 23
weeks and deliverd at 24.5 weeks and lost
him. I gave away everything because I
wanted nothing to remind me of him.
Now with this baby, I just believed that I
would carry her to term and started buying
stuff at 19 weeks because I found a
bassanett for 20 dollars when it was
origionally 100.00 and that started it
all. I am now 29 weeks and 2 days. I
have gotten a lot of stuff so far for my
skoot. I am having a baby shower on 6/11
and another one on 06/30 so I am going to
wait until then to see what I get and then
go from there. Make since?
