preemie clothes? do or don't?

So I'm debating on buying preemie clothes for my daughter. My son was full term at 6 lbs 9 oz and he fit into preemie for about a month because new born was too big he literally swam in mew born clothes. My daughter will be c-section at 39 weeks she is however measuring 3 weeks behind so I'm guessing she's going to be significantly snaller than my son. I want to buy preemie clothes but idk if I should.

Yes. My son is 2 months and some days and still fits in newborn. 0-3 months he swims in the poor kido. Plus if you wanna take pics at the hospital I dont think youll  want her not looking her best. Just make sure to take a few sizes just in case she is bigger.

I would... Just leave the tags on and get them from the same place so its easy to return if you don't need them. When my first was born imade the mistake of taking off all the tags and washing everything and he came out huge and never fit into the newborn stuff and I had a lot of newborn stuff with no tags and no receipts lol. This time im getting a few newborn things and just going to return if I don't use them.

I would ask my dr what does he/she think. They give the best advice when it comes down to things like that because al thought she is measuring smaller, she could be further back than your son. With my first child i wad much larger than i am with this child but i am still buying 0-3 because my daughter was 9 lbs and couldnt fit newborn :) dont waste the money if you dont have to.

I would, but not too many. And maybe nothing with closed feet? =)
