it depends on when people want to throw you a baby shower.. i started my first baby registry when i was 3 months pregnant w/ my daughter. so its really up to you when you want to sign up and start your list.

I waited until I looked pregnant to do my registry, just so I didnt look like the crazy lady. But I don't think that there is a timeline. just keep in mind that certain things, mostly clothing and things like that may hit clearence by the time people are around to shopping for you. I had 2 baby showers (one was a double shower for me and another girl at work, she was 4 weeks farther along) one 2 months before and another 1 month before I had her. When I was pregnant with my son, I had my shower the night before I had him. I recommend about a month before, that gave me a time to really get things set up.. Enjoy!

With my first I waited till I new the sex. This is baby 3 and I started mine at about 4 mos but still working on it but I made a lost this time so I am a bit more organized. I usually have my shower about 6 weeks before due date.

sorry I meant list not lost!!!

we registered with this baby and with our son after we found out the sex b/c a lot of stuff out there nowadays is very gender specific. With my son (a July baby) we had the baby shower about 4 weeks before I was due. With this baby (due Jan.3) we actually had the baby shower 4 weeks ago (I was 30 wks at the time) b/c of the upcomig holidays and people going out of town. Just find what works best for you and your family :)

You can start a registry anytime..i was about 4 1/2 months pregnant when i did... as for the baby shower... everyone is different... it depends on if someone either in ur family or ur group of friends want to throw you one or if you want to throw your own. but i think usually most baby showers are thrown when you're about 7-8 month pregnant.. I know mine's gonna be in January when im 8 months but that's cause my mom is throwing it for me.. hope this helps.. congrats & best of luck

My husband and I started our registry a few weeks ago (13 weeks I think). We registered early because of the holidays and also because I am having twins. My shower with my mom's family will be in February, probably towards the end of the month. I am due May 22nd, but I will deliver early because I am carrying twins (as early as the beginning of April) and higher chance of being place on bedrest, I am trying to do things earlier than I would if I was only carrying one.

I did my regestry around 20 weeks, and I am having my shower next sunday, I will be 31 weeks along!
