SHOPPING... TOO EARLY?!

[ExpectingTheExpected]

How soon is too soon to start shopping?...

[JulieKuhnert]

I'll probably start shopping once I get through the first trimester.  Of course I won't know the sex, so I'll just buy stuff that can be used for either to begin with.

I started buying very early and also bought consignment.. figured if I got double at my baby shower I could leave stuff at my mother in laws or reyurn/exchange for other stuff I need. I'm beyond happy that I did that because I didn't get nearly as much as I expected at my baby shower so I would have had little time to buy a lot and my financial situation changed drastically.  So for me it was a get it while I can.

2nd time mom .. I'm just buying things that I think are unique and will not get for my babyshower so be careful not to obverse spend

Thank you ladies for the different views

To me it makes sense financially to start sooner.. spread purchases out.. but if you are good with saving u could also save a specific amount of money each paycheck and then buy things when u feel comfortable..

I'm about to turn 30 weeks & still haven't bought anything yet. But then again this is my 2nd pregnancy... I'm waiting till my baby shower to see what I have left to purchase. Do what makes you comfortable.

As a ftm I was worried about having a miscarriage so I waited a long time. I didn't start till 24 weeks and didn't get serious till 30 weeks. I did all consignment, barely spent $200. So happy.
