It’s never too early. Haha. But start with yourself. If you’re worried about difficulty sleeping during the third trimester, consider getting a pregnancy pillow. Your tummy’s gonna get bigger soon. Get some nice comfortable clothes, bras (your breasts may get uncomfortable in the third trimester) and panties (maternity underwear is much more comfortable later on). Also, get all the rest you can get. Eat well, but also have a balanced diet. Practise breathing... quick deep inhalations and slow exhalations.. good breathing helps so much in pushing baby out 😅 You can start thinking about how to decorate baby’s room, even if you don’t physically buy anything now. Think of how to make the set up convenient to reach for whatever you need. You can start going to baby fairs and seminars to just have a look and learn some stuff. Take all the goodie bags and samples to see what you like, so you can buy them for baby later on. Join all the baby clubs for diapers/milk powder brands (go to their websites). They’ll give you samples too. Hope this helps a little :)

No, not too early. You can start by creating an essentials list with research online and start purchasing some of the items. I’d prefer to buy bit by bit rather than all at one shot at the end as I’ll feel like it’s a lot of money to pay at one go. Clothes need to be prepared early too as you need to wash them before you give birth, so buying around 2 months before EDD is good. For wet wipes, shampoos and creams, I’ll probably buy nearer my EDD, say 1-2 months before hand as they have expiry dates and wet wipes may dry up.

You can start by listing down what you will need for baby (e.g. baby cot, carrier, milk bottles..) Have a look at the mummys market onlime catalogue since they're having a fair right now. Shortlist the items, and maybe start buying bit by bit during the next few fairs! There are 3 fairs between February - April so take your time to buy the items. :))

U can add yourself into those WhatsApp group with mummies of same EDD as you. The sharing of mummies in same situation as you is very useful. Moreover, after you give birth, sometimes they might organize 100 days bash where you can get many goodies and lucky draw but of course for a fee.

I started with listing down stuff that I need. Then I'd aim to get these things at the next baby fair (there's 1 in March and April) You can prepare your baby room by envisioning where you're gonna put your stuff cuz seriously I wasn't prepared for the amount of stuff a baby needs 🤣
