I wanted to start once .I found out, but .I didn't (&still don't) know what .I'm having, &.I've experience a miscarriage before, so .I didn't want to buy things only to have something bad happen. But my 22wk ultrasound is on around .November 13th, so once we find out, we'll start buying things that day, probably! Wink

I started shopping for clothes as soon as I found out, but I waited on everything else until after my baby shower. I don't know if you plan on having one, but I got tons of stuff, so I didn't need to buy much. Start soon and get ready. I waited until a couple of weeks ago to get last minute stuff and it was hell b/c I have a hard time walking more than an hour without getting a million different pains.

We actually got most of our stuff from relatives and friends sp we didn't need to buy much, I bought a few bits a pieces at the start of the pregnancy, with this pregnancy we already have everything (thats the beauty of having kids close in age) if we have a boy though we may need to buy more clothes but I can't do that 'til we know what we're having.

My mom went out and bought a travel system the day my blood test came back positive! Lol Smile but I didn't start buying things until like 20 weeks or so. That's when I bought the crib and other furniture. I had two showers, so I haven't bought anything in a while b/c I got mostly everything I need at the showers. Now it's just a waiting game... Only 6 weeks to go! Smile

We started buying stuff around 5 1/2 months. But everyone else started at my 12th wk. Lol I told everyone not to buy anything before 3 months because of my previous m/c. But now we have basically everything and I havent even had my shower(s) yet lol. Our mothers got overly excited and bought us nearly everything. Which was very nice lol

We didn't want to buy anything until we found out what we were having. As soon as we found out it was a girl, our families went nuts buying every pink thing in the state.

We ended up spending maybe $100 on baby stuff. Our family and friends took care of the rest without us even having to ask.
