When to Register for Baby Gifts

There are no set rules that determine when you should register for baby gifts. When you register depends on your own personal preferences. Still, there are some things you should take into consideration, like an annual baby sale or whether your partner will be around to help you choose your items. In addition, consider the stage of your pregnancy and how you are feeling.

  1. During the Second Trimester

    • Many women wait until the second trimester to register for baby gifts for several reasons. Miscarriages are most common before the 12th weeks of pregnancy, so many women wait until that milestone has passed. Many of the worst symptoms of pregnancy, such as extreme fatigue and nausea, have passed by the time the second trimester begins. Finally, it is often possible to find out the baby's gender by between 18-20 weeks of pregnancy, which makes it easier to register for baby gifts.

    Before the Baby Shower

    • The most common time to register for baby gifts is a few weeks before the baby shower. Registering is the best way to make sure that the new parents get the necessary items to prepare for the baby's birth, and it allows baby shower guests to easily choose a gift without wondering whether or not the new parents already have that item.

    The Ninth Month

    • It is difficult for most women to walk around a store and register for gifts when heavily pregnant. This can be a great time to register, however, because some prospective parents find out after the baby showers are over that they still need last-minute items. Most stores will even let you register online. Many people bring a gift to the hospital or to the home of the new parents when they visit the new baby, so registering at this time allows those people to get a gift that the new parents truly want.
