jakaroo - 1143 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) You know when I had my first child, I started buying things for him almost as soon as I found out I was pregnant. My sister thought I would jinx my pregnancy. I am happy to announce my son is now 3 and I am so glad I bought things early as waiting right until the end is too costly. If you spread it out over 9 months it is much easier on the pocket.

femi - 1143 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i started the nursery around 6-7 months pregnant but that's because i was waiting for family members/friends to get me things like the crib, etc because they wanted to. however, i did get a bassinet and dresser early on. it's up to you when to do it! i know some people wait till late in the third trimester or some even wait until the baby is born because, as they may say, you never know. but, in my opinion, you have to have some sort of positivity! isn't it such a pleasurable experience to create/decorate your little one's new home? go for it and enjoy it!

Believe me, the weeks start going by quicker and quicker and before you know it you're sitting at almost 32 weeks and no nursery built (like me). Congratulations!

I also bought 2 large tubs of gender neutral clothes until I found out that I was having a princess. There is nothing wrong with buying things early.

lorid - 1143 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) With this baby and with my last baby, I went out the weekend I found out I was pregnant and bought little baby sleepers. It was just something to make me feel positive about the pregnancy and a new baby!!!

youre.in.my.system.baby - 1143 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) The chance of anything going wrong past 12 weeks is less than <2%. I started at 10 weeks. People have to realise that even if something DOES go wrong, it's NOT because you told people too soon or bought things too early. It's because something was wrong with the baby or some other aspect of the pregnancy. There's no reason to think anything should go wrong, so buy things and be poaitive. We have left the buying of the pram and nursery furniture til past 24 weeks though, I must confess, but there/s no reason to do so realistically.. Start whenever you wish.. :D Congrats!
