They say that buying things for an unborn baby is not worth it. Seems like a bad omen. Is it so? Let's deal with the question.
Negative health effects
In the old days, women prepared everything in advance. They sewed diapers, vests, and rompers. Since there was nowhere to get clothes, expectant mothers had to spend a long time in a static position, which had a bad effect on their health. That’s why the superstition arose: preparing things in advance means harming yourself or your child.
Believe it or not
Women in an interesting position often become suspicious. Ill-wishers take advantage of this. Some of them say that the child does not need to purchase things in advance. First of all, you should calm down and not listen to anyone, but continue to enjoy your situation.
The main task is to bear a healthy child. If you bought things in advance, that’s good; if you didn’t, that’s also fine. It’s better to take care of your social circle, make sure that there are only positive people in it.
If you can’t get rid of the influence of evil people, you can simply sweep all negative thoughts aside. Make a decision whether to buy things or not. You should only rely on your intuition.
If shopping in the last stages of pregnancy gives you pleasure, feel free to go shopping.
Those who are afraid of making premature purchases can simply avoid making them. Nowadays, a child will be able to purchase the essentials even after birth, for example, through an online store. Or you can simply shift this task onto the shoulders of your loved ones or husband.
What things are definitely worth buying in advance?
To make your life easier, you can focus on the following list of mandatory purchases in advance:
- crib;
- blanket;
- stroller;
- things for the baby for the hospital;
- bed sheets.
It is better to buy them in advance. After giving birth, it will be difficult to make large purchases.
Of course, if you have someone to help, you don’t have to buy even these things right away, with the exception of clothes for the child in the maternity hospital.
What should you not rush into?
Almost all mothers say that before the birth of the child they could not have acquired:
- diapers;
- clothes out of season;
- toys;
- nipples;
- mixture;
- baby changing table.
All this can be purchased later, as needed. So you shouldn’t worry too much and believe in omens. Now you can buy almost everything for your child, so there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of.
