Author: I’m in my first trimester with my first baby.
When should I start shopping for baby stuff and how much stuff should I get?
What baby items are must-haves and what items (if any) can I put off until after the baby arrives or put off completely?
Also, how much newborn clothing should I have and how soon will the baby outgrow it?
All advice appreciated.

congrats! what an exciting time!
on a serious note, if your pregnancy were to have complications they’ll most likely be during the first trimester. therefore, it may be a good idea to wait until the 2nd trimester to buy a bunch of baby things.
if you cant wait to start shopping (i couldnt!)clothes are really tempting to buy , but i try to limit myself to only buying things that i think are super cute because i get so many outfits as gifts. if they’re full term they only wear the newborn size for a month at the most, so its a good idea to start with the 0-3month size.
you can always "shop" for the things you’d like to have by starting a gift registry. give other people the opportunity to help you celebrate your family’s new edition!
