I'm 5 weeks. When is too soon to start buying things? I know its way too soon to do it now! But when should you start? I know that if you start buying things too early there wont be anything to do later on during the pregnancy. Should I start after I find out what the baby's sex is? But I don't want to wait that long.. Lol.

I don't see any reason why you should wait. There are a lot of things that you can get that are unisex since you don't know the sex of the baby yet. There will be plenty of things to do later on in your pregnancy, so don't worry about buying things too early. I would keep my eye out for some good clearance sales that are going on. Also, you will probably get a lot of clothes from friends and family, so you might want to start stocking up on things like diapers and wipes too.
Congratulations and good luck!

Well, I don't know. I have always been so excited to be pregnant that I would go out and get unisex colored outfits. That way, it doesn't matter what you end up having. But I think that it would be wise to wait til at least 12 weeks before you start doing too much. Just relax, enjoy yourself and congratulations. And when you do start buying, start out with wash clothes, towels, blankets and simple items to find in neutral colors. Then after you find out the sex, which do remember is not always correct, go crazy and remember to keep all receipts. Trust me, lol, I've had a cousin that the last time she was pregnant, was told that she was gonna have a girl and had everything all pink and decorated in the nursery with ruffles and such, ended up having an adorable little boy. Life is funny sometimes. Good luck with everything.

Baby Things To Buy

I found out I was pg at 5 weeks...and starting hitting the clearance racks IMMEDIATELY!! Buy things that are green or yellow or white...they can be worn by both girls and boys. Also, since I know you have the urge to buy cute baby stuff....receiving blankets, little newborn diapers, socks....then when you are about 20 weeks and they can tell you what you are having, you can start buying gender specific stuff!! I have so many clothes!! This baby is clothed until he's about a year old....

I waited until I was in my 2nd trimester before I bought anything just because I wanted to get through the "crucial" part of pregnancy first. (miscarriages are very frequent in my family) But after that I went crazy!!!! It was so fun to go to Babies R Us and see all the nice stuff. The first thing I bought was the crib!
Another thing to remember too is that usually in January they have baby sales everywhere. It's a good time to buy things like the crib and nursery items.
Good luck!

Wait to buy things until after the first trimester. If the unfortunate event of a miscarriage, you don't want to have the baby things reminding you of the whole thing. After the first trimester take it easy until you find out the baby's sex (at around 20 wks), so you know better what to get. But, don't go crazy because friends and family want to help you and might throw you a baby shower---It makes them feel much more helpful if you don't already have everything already. (I attended a friend's shower like this--it was really awkward since she had already bought everything herself).

Before the pregnancy ;)
Just kidding. After 15 weeks they will take first scan and you would like to no baby's sex they will let you know. Once you get know boy or girl you may start your dream babies cute little booties and dresses. I was so enjoyed those days. From that day to till today i forgot to purchase my things mostly..Now days if i entered in a cloth store i go to kids section automatically.

wait untill your second trimester !
they say once past 3 months then things are more sure to say !
first lets just get some cute little things for your self cuz well how us pregnant ladies feel in the beginning well it helps so hey pamper your self first you deserve it !!!
so hey we are full of stress at these times .and once your in the second trimester !.and the thought of being a mother for the first time or a new mom again is overwhelming our minds..so never to soon i shall say !
if you dont know the sex just buy things of either gender not to much at one time of course but going out and lookin at the cute stuff is great for us mamas .stress relieving great to do with dad and get him involved and hey some exercise to boot right !
so i see no reason to wait just dont do it all at once get one outfit at a time so you dont over buy .believe me and if you get to many outfits the chances are the way newborns grow he/she will probably only wear it once if at all so buy different sizes .
the first couple weeks you wont realy leave the house at all except for maybe doctors or somthin so when you buy neworn cloths buy more of the coverall jammy things and stuff for the weather depending on when your due.,only buy one or 2 going by byes outfits in the newborn size,cuz by the time you start gettin out more she/he will not most likely be wearing that size they grow like crazy the first couple of months haah i have 5 kids and yet i never took my own advise cuz buying is just to fun and stress relieving i always bought to much ahhaha so good thing my sister had a baby and family members or friends babies cuz i always end up with new or almost new outfits that my baby grew to fast for hahah
but hey yea go have fun as long as you are 5 months or so go for it ! and hey dont forget about yourself ok !
bras comfy cloths and some nice things to make us feel like the pregnant beauties we are !,yea i say we cuz i am going for my 6th child now and also 5 weeks !! hahah maybe i should close my factory down hahah hey congrats ok and good luck and on my page is my emails and myspace address come chat anytime ok !!we can stick together with it ! and chat about eachothers bellies hahaha

Well just be a little careful. You never know what may happen. And trust me if you do have a miscarriage, it's really tough to look through all the things you bought for the baby! Be patient. Buy a few things maybe, but don't go overboard just in case.
