I started around 22 weeks. It was the worst decision IMO.

I don't/didn't have then energy and I had WAY too many other things to do, baby related.

If I were you, I'd wait a few weeks and then start. In a few weeks, you will probably feel like you're in a holding period because things start to slow down as far as baby stuff goes.

Also, just because you start it, doesn't mean its finalized. Also you will wind up doing a lot of research (if you're like me) to make sure you have picked the right travel system or high chair, or what not.

The only reason against registering early that I know if is if things get discontinued, in which case you can just pick something else.

My baby shower is at 33 weeks.?

I have started to register, but simply because I am lazy and it takes me a really long time to decide on things! I have all of the bedding, room decor, and stroller registered for but that is it. I plan to do a little here and there. My first shower will be next month, but it is because May is a really busy month for our school and the teachers are really busy getting year end things done.

i will register probably at the end of the month and my shower back home is at the end of May, so i will be about 30w...but i have to travel 5 hours back home for my shower, so i wish it were earlier!!!

We are registering next week (I'll be 24 weeks) and our shower will be sometime around 34 weeks which is a little later than average, but my sister (who's hosting) is graduating from college a few weeks before that and wanted to wait until after she's done with all of the graduation hoopla to have the shower

We will probably register at 26 weeks and the shower is around 33 weeks.
