Never even thought about it when I was TTC and was too worried when I was newly pregnant. I didn't even buy anything for my first LO until after I was 20 weeks. And now at almost 12 weeks pregnant, I haven't bought anything for LO #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1928815 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 11:10:36 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1928815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing. I didn't want to have stuff around as a reminder if TTC took a long time, we had IF challenges, or suffered a loss. I'm 8 weeks pregnant now and we still really haven't bought anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926936 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 09:52:12 +0000 alohaorchid 1926936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing. Baby products have not even crossed my mind! But, we went into TTC knowing it would be difficult so I think that makes a huge difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926916 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 09:40:11 +0000 snowjewelz 1926916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't buy anything while we were TTC but I was researching baby products! It made registering later a *little* easier having already know a lot of the popular products, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926679 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 00:01:47 +0000 stiletto_mom 1926679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not superstitious, but we really don't have much room right now to do any "ahead of time shopping". The only thing I bought is this onesie LOL.

I'm 18 weeks tomorrow and we just made our first purchase today. (And that was something pre-owned from Craiglist). ...Also I am holding off to see how many big-ticket items we can get through hand-me-downs and gifts. So far it's a lot, we are loved and lucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926656 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 23:08:37 +0000 marionberry 1926656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During my 10 month struggle to get pregnant with ds the only thing that made me feel better was buying things for our future child. We bought a dresser, changing table, crib sheets, diaper bag, and unisex clothes. I know some people fear it's bad luck but a week after I bought this cool elephant for our future child's room we got pregnant. When we bought it the sales lady told us that an elephant with its trunk up is good luck in her culture and boy was that good luck for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926655 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 23:06:37 +0000 Ginabean3 1926655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing! I didn't buy anything until well into my 2nd trimester. I was really nervous about jinxing it (irrational, I know!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926650 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 22:52:12 +0000 mamimami 1926650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing.

I was way too superstitious about it. Didn't want to jinx anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926564 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 20:43:49 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1926564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a hooded monkey towel and some monkey onsies a few months before we started TTC. With this second pregnancy I bought a little red sweater and a white dress a year before we fell pregnant even though I didn't know if we would have a girl. I thought I could always pass them on to a friend or my sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926549 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 20:33:51 +0000 lawbee11 1926549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A onesie set that I was going to give to DH to announce my pregnancy. Too bad I couldn't keep my mouth shut and ran into the living room screaming instead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926545 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 20:30:42 +0000 mediagirl 1926545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some nursery decorations before we started TTC. We saw them at a yard sale, brand new for cheap. I couldn't pass them up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926496 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 19:35:49 +0000 avivoca 1926496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought an owl sleeper. We really like owls and it made me happy while I was waiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926469 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 18:58:58 +0000 simplyfelicity 1926469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I, too, only bought announcement stuff. I bought a few things (those 6 dollar trumpet socks) while I was pregnant the second time and DH took everything and put it in a box for "someday." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926460 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 18:39:43 +0000 BSB 1926460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started buying things here and there. I think I started last year or early this year. It keeps me motivated that I will be a mom some day. Early on, I kept things at my work in a drawer so I wouldn't see it. Now it's in my garage and in the closet. Yeah, I'm not superstitious about these things. Clearly there is a higher power preventing me from getting pregnant since I'm now doing IVF. Buying baby things did not cause my infertility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926381 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 17:07:16 +0000 looch 1926381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so tempted, so many times! But there is always newer and better stuff coming out, so there's never a lack of stuff to buy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926363 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 16:45:37 +0000 autumnlove 1926363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to buy boy stuff. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926360 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 16:39:56 +0000 LindsayInNY 1926360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only bought announcement type stuff for DH - book and lullaby CDs. I also bought some books for myself off HB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926347 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 16:27:21 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1926347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: ooh a motorcycle must have been really cute. That's one of my husband's hobbies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926315 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 15:26:50 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1926315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The closest impulse buy I ever had was maternity clothes that were on sale while I was in the middle of our IVF cycle. When I was about to pay I canceled the whole thing after thinking about how painful that would be to have to return if it didn't work.</p> <p>Now I am almost 17 weeks pregnant and still haven't bought anything! I think pinterest keeps me busy for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926312 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 15:23:21 +0000 babycanuck 1926312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have purchased a onesie to tell DH if and when it ever happens, and I bought little cowboy boots when I was in a cowboy town because I wanted real ones. DH still has a pair from when he was a baby that we put on display. I'll put that and the onesie together for DH at that point in time.</p> <p>Besides that, I have a ginormous wish list :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926310 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 15:21:49 +0000 pui 1926310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought one onesie from Etsy near the end of my TTC journey. It had a gift tag image on it that said "From God". I didn't end up being able to dress DD in it because she never fit the newborn size lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926296 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 15:00:17 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1926296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I bought a onesie with a shark on it and one with a motorcycle that I used when I announced to my husband. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926288 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:55:42 +0000 MrsKMM 1926288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm too nervous to buy anything. I'm currently pg, 6w4d, and have considered buying cute things to announce to my parents and in laws, but I'm going to hold off until the first u/s to make sure everything looks good. Even then, I don't think I'd be able to buy anything until I'm out of the first trimester! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926282 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:49:58 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1926282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a Baby on Board car sticker when I announced to my husband. I'm not sure if that counts though. </p> <p>I haven't seen anything that really moves me to make a purchase. Baby socks are cute, but the ones I like are so gender specific seems like it could be a waste of money.</p> <p>@Leialou: what do the outfits look like? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926278 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:48:08 +0000 Mrs. D 1926278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on buying a t-shirt for either my husband or daughter the month we start trying in the spring to announce it to my husband when I get a BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926269 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:44:27 +0000 hellobeeboston 1926269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't buy anything until I was half way through my pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-types-of-baby-purchases-did-you-make-while-ttc#post-1926190 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 12:37:03 +0000 PurplePumps 1926190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't bought anything at all.
