In ireland one of the tales is if you buy anything before you reach twelve weeks (3mths) its bad luck.....

Do you guys agree or do you think its ok? When did or will u start shopping?

I would personally say after the baby shower cause you never know ppl might get everything.  I got everything I needed except bottles n a breast pump. I didnt have to buy clothes or diapers until my baby was about 4 or 5 months

I'm not superstitious so I bought a few items. But I refrained from buying any big items because I was worried about miscarrying-- not necessarily because of the cost, but because it would make the grieving process harder if I had to move a crib  into storage...
