Best time to go shopping when your Pregnant

kiaboo

Good morning everyone, 

 I'm so excited about my second pregnancy I don't know what to do... lol With my first child I didn't go shopping for her until I was 7 months. I'm 15 weeks and 6 day pregnant and turning 5 months on the 24th of month do y'all think it's okay to start shopping when I turn 5 months?

Sure, why not?

My goal is to have the nursery complete before summer (I am due early August). We are traveling quite a bit and our weekends get packed in the summer months so I pretty much want to be done. I have already completed most of the nursery design and will begin purchases right after 20 weeks.

Absolutely!  I started shopping a few weeks ago.  I couldn't wait to start getting things ready and collecting little things for him.  It helps with the anticipation and waiting to be able to pick out stuff for his nursery and clothes for him... I'm a ftm but I know lots of ladies on here who started shopping right away!

I've started buying things that I get a good price on - gender neutral clothes on clearance, a new diaper bag and then a few random things like a new pacifier, rattle, etc. I feel if they are things we will need and it's a good price, then why not pick them up!

This is our 2nd so we have most of the big things - just a few items we never got that we want for number 2.

FWIW I started shopping when we decided to starting TTC

As soon as you find out the sex, if you aren't going to find out then some time in the second trimester sounds good. I have only bought small stuff, but i have my big items picked out.

Also if your having a baby shower alot of people wait till after that.

I don't know about anyone else but going to the store is so exhausting for me, after like an hour on my feet my back hurts, my feet hurt and I'm ready to just go home. I think I'm going to relying on my husband and the internet to do most of my stuff.

Are you planning on having a shower- as if so maybe after that is always a great idea.  I have a list of what I need... and after I find out gdner, I will shop.  Do my registry and go to town.  I find buyying little odds and ends- socks, bibs etctera, you never know how much you have, and end up wasting $ and having way too many things that baby cant wear.

I would start researching all the big things you need, crib, stroller, car seat that youw ill need.. see what you want and search for deals.  This is what I am doing. I always think too - although Im a planner, I think why spend the money now when Im not due till August.
