Hey Grace,

Don't worry, its ten times harder being your first in terms of what to do when and knowing whats available.

I would personally wait until your 20 week scan before you start buying anything major its a great scan alot different to your first scan looks more like a baby and you can see its heart etc etc. But there is no harm in starting to look especially the bigger things such as pushchair /nursery furniture to see what you can afford and you can budget for it.

I couldnt help buying some little baby grows around 17 weeks though so do what you want.

I had the option of a sexing scan after my 20 week scan so best thing is to ask your scanner person when you go..

Dont stress about anything everything will come together and after your 20 week scan time will fly believe me, i am 31 +5 now and counting down the weeks!

Good Luck hun,
