I didn't start buying anything until my 7th month... at first I was waiting for gender reveal. And then I waited for my baby shower because believe me, you'll get lots of stuff from baby shower! I'd start buying big items, like crib, stroller & car seat after you find out the sex of baby. I Also got lots of hand me down clothes and stuff. So I really didn't start shopping for what I REALLY need until 7 months pregnant because of all the gifts I knew I would be receiving.
