There is another reason for not going shopping the day you find out
your pregnant.  The baby may not come.  Having to sort thru cute little
outfits after you have had a miscarriage can be a downer.  It's bad
enough having to explain what happened to all the people you rushed out
and told.

Before you say it won't happen to me: The statistics I hear are 1 out
of 4 pregnancies.  I would say that a 25% chance of loosing the baby is
pretty bad odds.  It seems to be one of those things that "isn't
discussed".

I don't mean to put anyone off having kids.  It's still worth it.
