When is it too early to start on Nursery

[mummy to be]

Hi ladies
Just wondering when is too early to start getting nursery organised?
I am 13+3 weeks and we are looking to get everything organised soon.. slowly but we are starting to look around. Is that normal or?
When is too soon to start buying and getting things sorted?

Well you're past the 12wks initial "danger" stage if you were worried about old wives tales etc. Get it sorted when you like. If you wanna help to do it then it'll probably be easier to do it now as opposed to when you're a bit "bigger".

I already have a 10month old as well as being pregnant but we've just had our nursery decorated. Yesterday I scrubbed it clean again coz of the dust from decorating, hoovered, made up the spare bed. Put up new curtains and rail, lightshade etc and sorted out Toby's clothes that he'd grown out of and boxed them up. Not to mention 3 loads of , cooking etc.

But....I'm suffering now and my back is playing up BIG time. So a word of warning...delegate where you can

Get everything sorted when you like! My friend had all her stuff by week 24.

I dont think its ever to early to start really, but i know i rushed into everything and buying stuff before 27weeks and since then iv been so bored with nothing to do because all baby stuff was sorted!!

Just remember that you'll have long hours of maternity leave to full somehow!

I think a lot of people are excited to get started early etc etc. The thing that held me back was the thought that what if i found something i liked more later on?? And with 6 more months to go and think about things, if you get everything done now, that leaves no room for shopping later . I bought things one at a time over time, making sure 'thats what we want' so there was no changing minds or finding something 'better' later on.

Even now i have 2 items i want to exchange to the store and get different colors of! ugh! Good thing i haven't unpacked ANYTYHING so I can still exchange things at the store. I left everything with tags on, in their bags, until later when i feel like we've got everything and set up the nursery on a nice weekend!
