Does anyone ever 'buy' anything before 12 weeks?
Hubby was saying this morning, in passing, that he can't wait until our scan a week on Tuesday (9 sept) as if everything is OK we can start buying stuff. I didn't mention that 'normally' people wait until 12 weeks.
Is it just a silly superstition??? do any of you actually buy stuff before 12 weeks?

It's entirely up to you though - I personally couldn't resist getting a few bits and peices as soon as I found out I was pregnant.
i think some people just wait untill they have had their scan so they know everything is ok xx

i did buy a winnie the pooh box set from the book people before i was pregnant - dont think it counts as i was buy them for our twin nephews birth and ordered an extra set. they are really cute in a box with doors on that looks like a cupboard. couldnt really pass them up as the RRP was ??79.99 and had them for ??20.
it was really hard not buying anything, kept seeing little cuddly toys and wanting to buy buy buy. as soon as we had the scan at 11+6 i went straight to asda and bought two toys and collected my bounty pack.
However my MIL bought a moses basket for me when I told her @ 6 weeks!!

Before 12 weeks i definitly wouldnt have, because i'm quite superstitious and didnt want to jinx anything. I had quite a hard time coming to terms with my pregnancy, for various reasons, and until our 20 week scan i hadn't really accepted it was going to happen, but once i found out the sex and bought a couple of little bits, i found it actually helped me, and now i love to buy things!

I worked in a baby shop years ago and this young girl came in with her mum to start shopping. They went crazy(as we girls do!)and brought just about everything there and then including the cot and pushchair.
Two weeks later her father came back to return everything because she had miscarried. She was 15 weeks pregnant. It was so upsetting.

When i found out i was pregnant, i was 4 weeks gone and i went to mothercare 2 days after i found out as i COULD NOT wait to buy something, so decided i would let myself buy 2 little things!! lol, so i bought 1 pink vest saying 'I love my daddy' and a little white bib saying 'My Daddy is the best'! I bought them as a prezzie for my hubby (just an excuse really lol). Weve since got a few bits and bobs, im 18 + 3 now, like the baby bath, nappies, wipes, few more vests, socks, hat, gloves, bottles, dummies, bibs etc. When i was 9-10 weeks pregnant we were on a carribean cruise for our honeymoon, and every island we stopped off at we bought either a bib or vest with the island's name on it, sooo cool!
Its each to their own in my opinion! I do get superstitious at times, but i do believe that if something medically is going to go wrong with baby, it will wether you go shopping or not! I also dont think that mumof2inspain meant to sound rude just gave her opinion a bit bluntly lol.
Take care all mummy's to be xxx
