Do you hve your crib and carseats yet?

Question

Im 32 weeks and want to get them already. I want to start getting everything ready to go. My husband is taking his time. We have the money. We just tend to be very busy. I feel like he will wait till the last days. Maybe im over reacting. Im just tired and my hips cramp almost everyday. Then i also sahm for our 3 other small boys its just alot and i want to get it all done alittle at a time not all at once in like the last week. Or for him to do it while im at the hospital recovering from having this baby.

Answer

Personally i would buy them before 34 weeks because babies born 35 usually dont need NICU stays and are sent home. You never know when little one might show up

Answer

I feel this so much! 
I’m 36 weeks and we have everything but he hasn’t built anything yet and I’m starting to get super anxious. 
I want to wash all of his stuff but I don’t have anywhere to put anything yet.

Answer

This is my 3rd pregnancy and by far the most  unprepared I've been it hit me like a week ago that I haven't prepared anything yet I haven't washed her cloths haven't bought a new carseat yet and haven't packed my hospital bag yet I have less than 50 days till my due date seams like a long time but it sure isn't!  So I told myself I must do all this by next week because she really could come any day if she really wanted better to have it all done than rushing around  last minute

Answer

Last time I purchased the crib/mattress 2 days before baby arrived. Needless to say, it wasn’t fully setup for a very long time. The crib (Graco) had a chemically smell to it, so stored it on the garage until the smell dissipated. I ended up hating the mattress and had to get a different one. I wish I’d had everything sooner, as work kept me very busy. This time we are setting up a mini crib to start, then moving over to a regular crib later

Answer

I bought my car seat early but didn’t install it until last week at 34 weeks. Also have diaper bag packed but no hospital bags yet 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Just go out and get it...if this is your first mine was the same thought we had the time and I was itching to nest and it drove me crazy but thing is they just don't know how to say I don't know what items you exactly want for the baby without starting a fight that we should be doing this together and he should be wanting these items too...my husband felt his time doesn't come until baby can start to roll and play....dont get me wrong he helped he took alot of night shifts of feeding the baby so I could sleep...but yeah I say just go and get the stuff and say if he doesn't like that color or that brand u can take it back and get a different one

Answer

FTM- bought them week 30, set up the bedside bassinet. Crib we got from registry but saving for later. 
Car seat is here but we won’t install probably until week 34-35

Answer

This is baby #4 for us and im a sahm with a partner who thinks we have plenty of time too.... we're reusing my previous sons car seat but I need my partner to get another anchor point put in so im guessing that'll happen the day after I give birth 🙄 but I mustered up enough energy last week to put the crib together with the help of my 2yo and ive put together the swing, bouncer and drawers myself. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. When he asked me why I didn't wait for him to put up the crib I told him I was asserting my dominance....

Answer

Yikes. I’d be getting him on that. Especially if you go into labor early he’ll be going car seat shopping while you’re in the hospital because they won’t let you leave without that!

Answer

I’m 36 weeks and just started getting everything. It’s my 5th baby and my youngest is 6 so we’re starting over. I’m in no rush. I truly feel people over buy stuff for their babies and half of it isn’t even needed.
