not buying things before a baby is born

hey all! still haven’t announced the news to anyone yet🫣 but i keep seeing videos of people talking about all the bajillion things that need to be bought before a baby is born. but…in my culture we don’t buy anything before a baby is born.

those of yall in a similar situation, what did you do? how does it work? a bunch of my friends are farther along in their pregnancy than i am so i might be able to borrow stuff, but i don’t want to impose. do people get things from a gmach? give their friends money to go buy things? i dont really have many friends id feel comfortable asking to get things. my mom can’t carry heavy things, and my in laws love in a mother city and i’m not really eager to see them right after i give birth. i have no siblings and my husbands siblings are all younger. also im assuming i would want my husband to be near me, not shopping the day after i give birth (amazon doesn’t have one day delivery in israel haha)

any advice is welcome! both for what to do + what are the must haves that it’s worth to run out and buy as soon as the baby is out haha
