Reply To: source for not buying stuff for a baby before its born needed

Even if you have an ultrasound, they always ask you if you want to know the gender of the child. If you don’t and it is time for them to scan “that” area of the baby, they tell you to look away. It is not only Jewish people that often won’t purchase baby items prior to the birth. I have been told the same thing by many gentiles, so I wonder if it is a superstition or if it is from some part of the Torah that the goyim know as the Old Testament.
