At what month of pregnancy do you think is a good time to purchase the baby furniture and set up the nursery?

Answer 1

7 1/2 - 8 months

Answer 2

After you are done being sick, but before you get too big. I would say the 2nd trimester is the best, because it is right in between. You don't want to wait too long, because you never know if the baby will come early.
I waited too long, was gonna do it on maternity leave, because I didn't plan on the baby coming early. I figured there have never been preemies in my family and I have a very healthy pregnancy, so I can wait. BIG MISTAKE, i never made it to maternity leave, baby came 5weeks early. I had no hospital bag packed, no crib, no baby furniture, no bottles, no pump, no formula, and his clothes were in bags in the closet, didn't even have his dressor yet. ?I had so much work to do when i got home, that it was a nightmare trying to take care of the baby and get the nursery done. I would suggest 6 months, no later, cuz u never know.

Anytime you feel comfortable doing it. Some people even set up the nursery before they start ttc, although that can be very dissapointing especially if you have trouble concieving. Some prefer to wait til they've seen a heartbeat at around 8-9wks, and some wait til after their big ultrasound, usually between 18-20wks so they can make things gender specific. Some people are afraid of getting too much too soon and prefer to wait til the age of viability which is considered to be around 28wks. I wouldn't wait too much beyond 28wks if you do wait that long, because things can happen fast and unexpectedly and you'll find that having the nursery together can actually be something calming when you get in one of your baby moods before baby gets there.

Answer 4

The sooner the better! When you get into your later months you aren't going to want to be setting stuff up you just want the baby to be here. You will be so uncomfortable. But no heavy lifting! I had everything ready to go by the time I was 5 months and we didn't find out until I was 3 months pregnant. But some things you will have to wait for the baby shower. Do what you feel comfortable with. Or do one thing each month. That way you don't over exert yourself and every month you have something to look forward to.

Answer 5

I bought everything when I was 6 months, but didn't have it completely set up until about a month before i was due. You never know if you are going to be early or not, so better safe. Plus when you get home from the hospital you are not going to have any energy to do anything other than take care of the baby.

Answer 6

I have already got the crib jointly and put in the room and that i'm 23vvks. I already had the crib nonetheless from my daughter vvho is novv 2. I merely found out 3vvks in the past that vve are having yet another little woman so i'm placing out to beautify and get issues set up i'm merely doing slightly at time. i could fairly be arranged then unprepared. you may incredibly plenty start up placing issues up vvhenever you're vvanting to. My acquaintances are throvving me a infant shovver in sept vvhen i'm 32vvks pregnant so i'm going to have alot greater issues then yet I plan on having each and every little thing thoroughly waiting by using the time i'm 36vvks, that vvay I dont would desire to vvorry approximately doing it later and that i will loosen up and be waiting for vvhen the infant comes, I had the two one among my different infants early at 38vvks so which you by no skill knovv vvhen you infant vvill come to a determination to return.

Answer 7

I started buying a few small things like bibs and booties and sweet t-shirts at around 6 months when I still had some energy to run around the shops.

We bought *big* stuff such as the cot and pram and did up the nursery at around 7-8 months.

Answer 8

Well I personally think as far as crib and changing table wise. All the big stuff. The second semester is good to have it ready. But diapers and clothes you can start buying right away, especially with diapers, because we all know you can never had enough of them. But For the big stuff i would wait untill about 6 months or so. but thats just me!
Good luck and happy pregnancy !

Answer 9

From experience, I'd say, much later in the pregnancy. People will start buying stuff for you, like cribs, bassinetts, clothing, strollers, etc.

If you go out and but expensive stuff, on your own, too early, all you will get from family and friends are a bunch of cute, cheap infant clothes that will be outgrown in a few months, and not the good expensive hardware that lasts.

Answer 10

If you are having a baby shower I would wait. I got everything I needed. I still have not bought a thing. If you are not having a baby shower I would wait until after 3 months. That is when you are most likely to lose your baby, God forbid.
