Have any of you ladies had any superstitious issues

I'm 26 weeks and 5 days pregnant and I haven't bought my daughter anything at all and I feel horrible about it part of the reason why I haven't is because last year at 22 weeks I bought my son his crib car seat and bassinet and that same day I went into labor and delivered him early an he didn't make it now I'm too scarred to even announce my pregnancy or buy her anything but I feel like I should really start gathering her things together
Also where my family comes from they always had this thing were you never buy your baby stff early for situations like my pass so what should I do I'm just terrified still

Someone on here convinced me that buying items will not stop or create anything that is gonna happen. What will be will be regardless of buying items.

After lots of thinking, feeling depressed, I realised it was the grief of my brother being terminated late in pregnancy. He was the first boy after a handful of girls. I'm pregnant with my first boy after four girls.

I decided to challenge my psychological and emotional chains, fears etc. Little by little I bought my boy items from just me, then his sisters.

I'm still scared. Every movement is a reassuring moment. We have two/three scans here, that's it so I'm never to know until he nudges me. The fear will stay until he's born, then ill probably be watching him like a hawk.

I can't imagine how you feel after your loss but I kinda resonate with some of your fear ... I'm just over 25 weeks and I've still not told everyone I'm expecting. My kids didn't know for 18 weeks !!

Good luck x x x
