im 40wks and 5 days and have only just got the crib ready!! no body can tell how far your going to go!! i have been 12 days over with my previous 2 and ive been booked in for induction for the 20th so theres no need to get every (apart from your bags, and the car seat!!!) ready to early or your just tease yourselve and that only brings disappointment if you go over due, and playden?? baby wont need that for months after he/she is born so defo no need for that just yet! i started washing all the clothes about 38-39weeks, theres no rush at all. good luck xx

I had this same question and my sister told me that when you feel like you need to start getting everything ready for the baby`s arrival then you are prob. having a motherly instinct that the baby will be here soon.... if you feel you need to get everything ready..... go for it!

I would say to get it done so you don`t have to worry about it last minute, I set up my daughter`s crib a month or 2 before she was born and it was nice having it up and all set and ready to go, but my daughter came late lol she was a week overdue and i had to be induced. It kinda stunk having the crib up so early at the same time cuz it was in my room and I had to keep seeing it without a baby inside.

I would say get it done while you have the energy and worry less about when the baby will appear. I waited until now (30 weeks) to get my baby`s room painted, the curtains bought and the bed and dresser set up and I`m so tired I don`t have the energy to finish up the details. I had to get somebody else to put his cradle together. I felt silly in my second trimester starting stuff like that so I didn`t but now I really don`t have the steam I need to finish things up. I think it`s the heat lol.

Why not do it now if it eases your stress and worry. Better too early than too late. Besides, it feels really good knowing that everything is set up and ready, even if baby isn`t yet :-)

I had delayed getting everything put together until now (34 weeks). I finally set up the nursery and everything else this past weekend. It`s sort of relief and one less thing to worry about. Its finding the energy to get it done though...

Gosh I hope you last longer, to at least 38/39 weeks, 32.5 weeks is way to early ((())) We put the car seat in around 38 weeks and never used a pack n play (we used a close and secure sleepr and soothing motions glider and they were out around 38 weeks too ~ :) Everyone said I`d go early too and all three were either late or induced/scheduled.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
