I started the nursery during my IVF cycle. But this was only renos to the room such as painting, etc. Didn't want to be painting when I was pg. But as far as getting furniture and things I started at about 14 weeks. The room is now done and all I am doing is waiting for baby to arrive! Mind you I am only 25 weeks so we have a bit of waiting to do!!! Start whenever your ready.
We started setting things up at 24 weeks but we had to clean out (was our guest room) & paint the room first so we started doing that around 17 - 18 weeks. It's so exciting - enjoy!!!
Hi,
We were planning to go and buy stuff around the 20 week mark this time! Unfortunetly they had a sale at baby co and that was it before we knew it we'd bought the whole lot!
Pre-warning some places have to order in it took 8 weeks for our cot to arrive!
My nursery was completely finished by the 25 week mark this time!
With my first 2 we bought stuff from when we knew I was pregnant and I still had alot of stuff from my second, where as this time we didn't have anything as we'd given in all away!
If I was you I'd start with the big stuff either purchuse or layby then move down to the smaller things later! That way if bubs arrives early you've got some of it organised!
I started setting up around 20 weeks... but that might have been more due to it being spring (spring cleaning and all that). We got the cot at around 30 weeks, and that is when we started to set everything up properly, and really clean up the baby room.
Around 22 weeks I started getting the nesty feelings...
If you have the room, then get it organised early i reckon. Our biggest hurdle is lack of space, so most things are on layby. So we've still "bought" them, they're just not taking up space.
There's a lot to think about and organise: clothes, furniture, nappies (esp. if you're doing cloth), not to mention PRAMS - have you looked at the variety to choose from???? That took us a month in itself!
I am 21 weeks and have kind of started. I havent gone and bought big ticket items but alot has been given to us so its already int he baby's room. I love going in there. I just need to find a cot I like. It is too hard to decide.
We bought our nursery furniture at 19 weeks and set it up almost straight away (couldn't help myself) Since then we have just been adding bits and pieces as we see them. We have also been given HEAPS of stuff which is great.
Hint: sometimes its easier to start with something major ie. furniture, theme or colour scheme - and then let everything else flow from there.
