Honestly i made mine when i was only about 11 weeks along i think… sometime around then. Actually my dad started it up for me , which i thought was sweet. I havent really put that much on it yet though because i dont know the sex of my baby yet, but i find out tomorrow! Start making your registry as soon as you want to. If someone asks, then give it to them. If they dont ask, then just let them get what they want to get you. All gifts for baby are nice, some come from the list, some are handmade, and all of them from the heart .

I would say any time after the 12th week, when the pregnancy is well established and you’ve told everyone that your pregnant. Just because you’ve started the registry doesn’t mean you have to tell everyone about it. Just let them know you’ve done a registry, IF they ask about anything you want or need….

I started puting one together earlier about 3-4 months as I saw stuff that i wanted. then people could save money for it if is a bigger ticket item.

it depends. some ppl are supersicious and won’t buy anything until the baby is born cause anything could happen, even right up to birth.
i had a baby shower at 8 monts had had a still born. i’m prego now (12 weeks) but i’m not having a baby shower anymore but a welcome baby (after the baby is born).
if i were confident that everything would be ok, i would start buying stuff the minute i found out i was prego. lol
so go with your gut feeling. i didn’t think anything would go wrong with my first pregnancy but it did. now lol i’m doing things different.

You can start as soon as you like but “socially” you shouldn’t register until towards the end of the 2nd trimester but since it is family it should be ok to tell them your wishes beforehand…

personally, i don’t say anything, or do shopping until after 3mths. after that whenever you comfortable is fine. i don’t think there is a standard

Well i would say when you find out the sex of the baby unless you are planning not to find out then i suggest starting one asap and if it is your family they should understand that you only want things for the baby so i would go ahead and tell them where you plan to register if they want to get you something that you willl need tell them it would be extremely helpful

You can start as soon as you like. The only problem you may run into is that some items may become discontinued or not available anymore. Some things are just seasonal items.

I am 31 weeks and this is my first baby I still don’t have everything but trust me you will get everything you need don’t worry about it. But to keep you from worrying I think it is fine to start it….congrats
