I’m from Kazakhstan and we have exactly the same situation. It’s considered to be a bad luck to buy anything before baby’s arrival.

What about things that are handmade for the baby? Is it bad luck to start a project for them before they arrive?

I wanted no visitors after birth, it felt so invasive and I just wanted to soak up those first moments as a family of 3. Our narcissistic parents tarnished that day any way & we are one and done. 😭

Same thing in my Alaskan culture! We were always told to buy stuff after baby is born, cause we never know if they will be alive, or asleep
