With my DD i went mad straight away! This time i'm more cautious. I know there are higher risks with twins so we're waiting until our 20wk scan until we buy the big stuff and clothes etc. I have however started to stock pile up on nappies as it seems to save a fortune whilst you're adjusting to the maternity leave pittance

Im buying bits and bobs now, especialy things on special offer, waiting to buy big stuff after the 20 week scan. MIL had gone mad already though spending - there is no stopping her!

Hi all
As a first time mum to be, when do you consider it "Okay" to start buying baby bits? I have been good with looking and not buying but not sure how much longer i can hold out!!

heya I think I had everything by about 16 weeks with my dd but she was my first lol...bought the cot and buggy for my ds by the time i was 12 weeks with him lol but am waiting for ages wit this one...all we need by the way of big stuff is a moses basket really and everything else can just wait so we'll just get bits and bobs as we see them after we get the all-clear from the 12 week scan...
As ds is still in nappies but should be potty trained by the time bubs arrives, I'll just buy nappies as I normally do when he's out of them if that makes sense...? x
