I put all the big stuff on layby at 14 weeks - after we got the all clear from our 12 week scan I am supersticious but not when it comes to pregnancies. I personally believe in 'The Secret' therefore making happen what you want to happen, if that makes sense.

I had the nursery completely setup and ready to go by 25 weeks and my bags packed at 35 weeks. I went into spontaneous labour at 38+5 but had a couple of friends admitted to hospital early with PE and they were totally unprepared. I was so glad I was ready for bubs arrival no matter how early or late it was.
