i started buying little things from12 weeks and bought pram,dresser,cot etc. at 30 weeks,our sons bedroom was decorated by the time i was 32 weeks. i only had 5 weeks till he was born.__its good ur husband wanting to be involved and wanting to do babs nursery _i'd say start whenever you want.i dont believe in those kind of things.

Hiya hun, im 25weeks 3days. To begin with we bough the odd few small things, then past the 20 week scan we started buying coloured clothes (lots of pink =])
Where I live there is a shop where you can buy your buggy / cot ... basically anything large and pay it off weekly (nice and easy way to spread costs) and they hold the items there for you untill you want them. We have our buggy on order, and it will be in store at the end of September, i'm due the end of October so they are going to hold it there for me.
I have my moses basket kept at my aunties, but to be honest for me its a space issue as I am still at home with mum and dad whilst me and my fiance house hunt :)
If you feel ready to start setting things up then go ahead, but if your not sure you could alays keep things at relatives houses of they dont mind.

Do you know the sex of your baby? :) xox

hi hun
iwith this last one (4th) i left it all to the week before, but with other 3 prob about 35 wks as i was worried about dust settling!(mad mum!!!!!!) anyway if you want to start now
go ahead.happy shopping enjoy this special time, hugs xxx

hey ya honeys!! im 17+3 lol and im a nightmare this is my first baby, i have had a new floor laid down in the babies bedroom, also i have brought a pram but its kept at my mums,i also have cot moses basket and changing unit. i have heard its only bad luck to have wheels in the house!! there so much stuff like bad luck if u do this bad luck if u do that, its just silly, just go out and happy shopping!! cant wait for my 20 weeks scan so i know wether to buy pink or blue lol

i had little things in the house but the big stuff cot etc was in the house the last 4 weeks.the pram i did get as it was on offer and i waited til the last day but we didnt put it together.so long as it wasnt together it was fine.it was my first so i didnt mind not having a house full of boxes lol.

my nan says its seeing the baby out before it arrives.

Thanks ladies, I think I will have to start shopping as I can't wait any longer. I have found out that it's a boy but the sonographer wasn't very reassuring so I think I might just stick to neutral colous. x

hi im22 weeks also i have bought a pram already i just keep it were i wirk they say thats the only thing for bad luck i think but im goin to buy a cot in the next few weeks also iv ur unsure its well woth payin privately for the sexing scan i had one done for _65 then the nhs one she wasnt that bothered to be honest wot sex she was so im glad i went for one now x

Hi, My nursery has been ready for weeks, I can't understand how people can leave it for so long. It's only bad luck to have a pram in the house, our's is in our garage, which is not too close to our house.
Just let him put it up, or wait till your fed up and it will cheer you up!

Hiya!
We had the pram and cot in the house from about 20ish weeks....................just do what you feel is right............I don't believe in superstitions............Just enjoy this lovely time together.........It's great that Daddy wants to get involved too!!
Best wishes to your new family,
