Setting up Nursery

[Bub2Be]

Hi all, just wondering when you did or will start setting up your nursery, we are currently 22 weeks pregnant with our first child, and just wanted opinions of other mums or mums to be if now is too soon to start setting up our Daughters room?

Hi Bub2B congrats on waiting til 22 weeks!

we're coming up to 14 weeks (my timer is wrong) and i'm looking at stuff now... haven't bought anything yet (i did buy some socks and singlets - i couldn't resist)... just looking at whats out there - bargains etc. if i can resist the temptation i'll hold out as long as i can but i wanna have most of it by 30 weeks?

plus i think if you spread the purchases out over a period of time it's not so much of a cash shortage?

good luck with everythign, heaps of nice stuff out there

Hi Bub2be,

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!

Best of luck!!!

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.
