I started buying things as soon as I found out I was pregnant just essential stuff, but even my family did.. Then after I found out the gender we bought more stuff play pin crib clothes a lot of stuff((:

I don't think its ever too early (:

I just think positive! I don't have any reason to think that I could loose my baby! I just take good care of us and Hope for the best! My Blessing is on her way and I am more that happy for that... I am not wasting my time thinking about sad or bad things, I will just enjoy every single kick she gives me letting me know she is here! :) ... Don't see the logic of living be fear. :)

I am 22+5 and I already start buying... I can't let it to the last months. I have the crib, crib sheets, clothes, bouncer, one used carseat, a "moses" (I don't know how u call it, I speak Spanish lol), and some other things! Start buying things makes it more real! Hahaha! :)

Its never to early, I don't know why everybody thinks there's a certain time your 'suppose' to buy stuff. In my opinion its better to buy early so you know its all done and you can relax the last quarter of your pregnancy

I say it depends on ur income some what cos I know for sure I couldn't afford to buy everything over the last two months so iv been collecting stuff along the way n I'm 17 weeks tmoro,  also if ur having a baby shower then ul prob get a fair bit of stuff then so don go mad on clothes n stuff if u r, n tbh as this is my second iv realised just how little clothes u use! It's up to u, but I say ur past 12 weeks so go for it!! Also check out second hand shops or car boots, etc cos people having there first very often hardly use stuff cos they buy so much stuff! Hope this helps

I bought the majority of stuff for my baby at 12 weeks. I just haven't bought clothes until I find out the gender.  I'd say you're definitely far enough to buy things :)
