When should we do a baby registry?

Question

I am due in December, but due to holidays, my baby shower will be the last weekend in October. My husband and I go tomorrow for our ultrasound to HOPEFULLY determine the s*x of the baby. If we start our registry now, is it too soon?

Answer 1

Do it anytime you want to. I personally would wait until the late-second or third trimester though.

Answer 2

If I'm being honest, I think doing a registry now only makes sense. Down the line you might be feeling sore from back pain and might even be on bedrest. Better now than never, otherwise your husband will end up doing all the registering FOR YOU!

Best Of luck.

Hope it's a boy!

Answer 3

I would do it now because you never know if you'll have complications later on and be on bed rest (it happened to me) and also, as your due date approaches, you'll get even more busy and who knows how much time you'll have. Most registry places store you registry until after your due date anyways. You can always add stuff by going on-line.

Answer 4

i would start it now ...well as soonas u find out the s*x..

Answer 5

I don't think it's too soon- you don't want to wait too long because you don't know how you'll be feeling.

Once you get the ultrasound, it would be a good idea to look for things anyway.  You'll probably send out invitations a month before the shower, right?  So if you do that at the end of September, now would be a good time to register.  That way, it's already in place in time for the shower.  Unless, of course, there's a limited amount of time your registry is kept in the system.

Have fun!  Enjoy!

Answer 7

as soon as you find out

Answer 8

no its never to soon to do your registry plus you can usually always go online and update or delete things if you want to. i did my registry at about 6 months and had my baby shower at 8 months. only two people bought me something off my registry in the end so i regret getting all worked up about anyway.

Answer 9

wait until you find out about the s*x of the baby, then you should start your registry.

Answer 10

like some of the others stated, it's never too soon to do your registry. Definatly do it before you send out the invitations, make sure you note your invites where you are registered at. Some people don't always go by the registery though. And try to go to the store in the morning when they are less busy!!
