If you want to follow her advice then maybe start a registry list of the things you need and want. Start doing your research on brands and looking at reviews on what best suits your budget and so forth. Start putting money away and when 5 months come get the items your not going to ask for if you were to have a shower. That way you can maybe get that shopping itch out of the way by just having a better idea of what you need and your still following mama's advice. :)

When I found out the gender at 18w I bought a few outfits here and there didn't buy much because I had planned on a baby shower... I had my baby shower at 28 weeks and got a ton of stuff. Almost everything I needed. So, since then been slowly buying the extra stuff I needed.

We shopped after 15 weeks (and only waited that long because I miscarried my first time at 15 weeks) - I can't not shop lol

We decided not to find out the gender and our baby wasn't given a good chance of getting past 24wks but we still wanted to remain optimistic and excited so went shopping at 20wks and put it all on layaway. Now 32wks and its so exciting to have it all and getting ready to meet bub. Good luck!

This will hopefully be our second baby (we've had two losses at 11 and 12 weeks) and we're not finding out gender. We have nearly all of our 3.5yo son's clothes and cloth diapers and gear saved. The only things we need are car seats and a crib, so we're not planning on a shower (plus I think they're tacky after the first child unless they're like 6+years apart). Those things will probably be bought somewhere near the beginning of my third trimester, so probably around 27-30 weeks.
