Buying baby stuff? When?

in Pregnant after a Loss
With my last pregnancy me and my boyfriend decided not to buy anything because our family was pressuring us to wait until the baby shower or a month before the baby shower. They are huge in my family events for the first child. Unfortunately we didn't make it to having a baby shower so I never bought anything for my son. I was wondering did any other moms wait to buy things for the rainbow baby? Should I wait? It's such a simple question yet I find myself so confused? When did u guys start buying baby stuff?

    After we lost our twin boys I was very nervous about buying anything. I had literally registered two nights before.

    When pg with my daughter, I was high risk and hospitalized. I think we finally ordered furniture around 30 weeks and I ordered a sweet crocheted hat for her at about 28 weeks. There were no purchases before that hat because I was just to nervous.

    My last four pregnancies were miscarriages (all at or before 10 weeks). With my 3 year old daughter, we bought baby things right away, but for this pregnancy, I'm going to wait as long as possible. I bought a few things during the short pregnancies I lost (mostly maternity clothes) and it was so painful to have them around after the losses, I couldn't wait to give them away! I think we'll wait until after 20 weeks at least.

    This is my 3rd pregnancy, when I got pregnant the first time we bought alot of things that we'd need, I lost him at 2wks Dr's kept telling me it shouldn't happen again, with my 2nd pregnancy I only started getting little things here and there lost baby #2 at 12wks, when I got pregnant again I didn't buy anything, I have family who has gone all out and what not but when I started having problems at 18wks I told everyone to stop and I'd have a baby shower after baby comes so as not to jinx anything, I've been feeling guilty lately not doing anything for baby so I finally registered for some things and my DH and I have a piggy bank we've been "feeding" for our little rainbow baby, but that's about it..
