When To Start Baby Registry. When should you start a baby registry. Then spread the news. I read through entire books about which was the best stroller diaper bag pacifier and burp cloth. In fact many online baby registries now allow you to set yours to private mode this feature lets you discreetly start adding items in those first few months of pregnancy before youve announced your news to friends and family.
When I was expecting my first child I curated my registry up until my baby shower. Since you usually dont need much babyproofing for at least six months for us it was more like 9 months I think. For the most part expecting moms schedule their baby showers around a month to six weeks before their due date. Some first-timers come in to review their options first and on. However TheBump also suggests that if you are wanting to find out the gender you may want to wait until youre around 20 weeks pregnant. According to FitPregnancy some women start as soon as they are 12 weeks pregnant- TheBump suggests the same.
Creating a baby registry does take time so getting an early start isnt as crazy as it may sound.
A growing number of parents-to-be start their registry in the first trimester keeping it private while clicking on things they like. However TheBump also suggests that if you are wanting to find out the gender you may want to wait until youre around 20 weeks pregnant. In fact many online baby registries now allow you to set yours to private mode this feature lets you discreetly start adding items in those first few months of pregnancy before youve announced your news to friends and family. Thats why you should start as soon as possible. Some mamas begin as soon as they get their positive test or right after they hit 12 weeks and the chance of miscarriage declines significantly. However just like pregnancy announcements most moms-to-be wait until the 12-week mark.
