How early did you set your nursery and buy big things??

Question

Im 29 weeks and planning on putting together the nursery and buying the stroller and the car seat this weekend. 
Where I live people usually buy things when they are like 36 weeks so many think that I am a little too early. 
I really prefer do things now because my neck and back are starting to hurt and I start work from 8 to 5pm next week. 
What about you?? I just want to know how it is for different people😬

Answer

I already bought all the big things. We’re just rearranging the furniture at this point. It’s getting hard for me to do anything and I’m only 31 weeks. The sooner the better, in my opinion.

Answer

I got everything done by the end of the year and I’m 30 weeks now lol I was motivated and wanted to get it all done so I could cruise the rest of the way

Answer

I am just over 28 weeks, bought the bassinet, breast pump, car seat/stroller and working on rest of big stuff like monitor crib and dresser for nursery. I have most of stuff for hospital bags but not packing yet. It helped me calm down and think about everything early as I am FTM and all variations of small stuff is overwhelming and I didn’t want to waste money.

Answer

I am almost all done with everything. The only thing I have left is to pack the hospital bag and there are a few small bits and bobs I need to buy. 31 weeks on Monday.

Answer

I started getting things around 3 months so the expense wasn't so much right at the end..  7.5 months now and basically have everything.  Nursery all set up and ready for babies arrival.

Answer

I always aim to have it all bought and set up by 30weeks. After that, it’s downhill physically and no energy. Best to get done early cause anything can happen at any time at this point.

Answer

I “set up shop” right about the time that my babies hit viability, so around 25 weeks. I told the intended dads the same with this surro pregnancy.

Answer

I had everything bought and set up by 27 weeks. Just waiting on a few more things that were getting from our baby shower. But we bought all the necessities ourselves. (Crib, dresser, changing pad, rocker, car seat, stroller, swing, bath tub, bassinet etc)

Answer

I’ve had mine set up since 23 weeks, only because it’s my second and everything was sitting around

Answer

My husband and I set everything up by the time I was 27 weeks and i laundered all the baby’s clothes the day after our shower. I’m glad I did it earlier because other than the fact that I love walking by and looking at it all, I’m 30 weeks now and slowing down for sure. It also makes me feel more comfortable knowing I can slowly do other things like washing sheets, sanitizing, further organizing.
