when can we buy baby stuff? I'm really over excited at the moment I've chosen 300 names in the past 2 days, I need to calm down but I appear to be experiencing seriously raging hormones maybe I'm over tired? Yes I'm exhausted I can't carry on like this or the men in white coats are going to drag me away.

is this normal?

300 names? Holy cow! I cannot find 300 names that I like.

You are going crazy

Anyhow, I would wait until you are in your second trimester before buying.

I am anyhow. For some reason I am very scared about my pregnancy. Guess it was the stigma about how every year after 35 there is a risk.

I am also waiting to see what gender I will be having before purchasing anything.

I was desperate to shop too, but when it came down to it I didn't want to buy something and then change my mind.

300 names!?! DH and I can only agree on 5 names total

It's normal to be this excited and really you can start buying when you want to but be careful of impulse buying as you may end up with way more of everything than you really need.

I'm lucky in this perspective. I shouldn't need to buy anything, i'm getting everything second hand from family. Which is kinda good, kinda bad. But im sure i'll still go buy some cute little outfits. I wanna know the gender now!

i'm planning on waiting until my second trimester before i begin buying stuff, but as soon as you want to buy stuff then there's nothing stopping you

Im 5 weeks and have bought some little sleep suits ! Im just so excited. Have hidden them tho coz OH will go mad with me !! lol.....

I started buying baby items perhaps around 30 weeks or so, pretty late but I started looking for names early on, only managed to find 6 or so that I truly liked. You're just super excited, that's normal hun, enjoy your pregnancy

Its normal to be excited hun, and although you can buy whenever you want to, most people and myself waited until the 2nd trimester before buying, alot of women wait until 24+ to get the pram and cot
