We didn't get anything big until I hit the third trimester. Not as a precaution or anything... Just due to procrastination lol
we got our crib as soon as i was out of my first trimester . then we got the carseat just a few weeks ago and we have the money set aside for the stroller we want if we dont get it at my baby shower .
We got our bassinet very early(because my mom was literally so excited and had to buy something) at like 8 weeks.. Which I wasn't excited about. Seemed to early. Got our crib around 18 weeks and got our car seat/stroller at our baby shower at 32 weeks. Honestly it depends on how much space you have and if you're like ready to set up the nursery. Because I almost wish we would have not gotten the bassinet and crib until we were ready to set it up after her room was painted and everything because we have a tiny house so we didn't have a lot of space to put the huge boxes. It was nice getting the car seat and stroller later because her room was done so the box could sit in there for a couple of weeks and then I just put it together and installed the seat and put the stroller in my trunk. But if you have room to put everything, go for it and get the bigger stuff!
