Sure! But not an actual registry.</p> <p>Plus - you'll probably find that a lot of things are discontinued for the next year's version, new product numbers, etc to where your registry wouldn't even be helpful anymore (this happened to us with our wedding registry and we had to basically re-register for more than half of our stuff). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1917154 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 10:05:47 +0000 LittlePinkHouses 1917154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree on waiting. New products come out all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1916848 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 07:37:15 +0000 looch 1916848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't, because by the time I actually got my BFP, things had changed so much. I feel like every year, there is newer and better stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915524 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 10:29:44 +0000 babycanuck 1915524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: that's similar to what I have. I pinned a ton of stuff on pinterest, most of which isn't available anymore, and similar to your other post, focusing on absolute needs and reviews, not so much the "this would be fun!" items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915518 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 10:26:42 +0000 stiletto_mom 1915518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first baby fever wave (when pregnancy wasn't actually an option), I had Pinterest boards and wishlists.</p> <p>We are NTNP/TTC right now, and yes, I do have a registry (at babylist.com), but only because I didn't want to loose the links of the different sources/places I found items. Everything on the list is gender neutral (until we are pregnant and know the sex). It's a private list, no one knows about it, so it's really just a person wishlist for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915402 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 07:21:26 +0000 Anya 1915402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a private amazon list (it was really helpful, I'm glad I started well in advance) and a private Pinterest board but nothing public until after I announced my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915361 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 04:05:14 +0000 snowjewelz 1915361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did have a private amazon wish list (not sure if I started it before Bfp or after). It was mainly to add good product recommendations so I don't forget when it comes time to make an actual registry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915323 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 23:29:21 +0000 Iced Tea 1915323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I considered it. But ultimately I waited until after the NT scan, when I felt more confident about the health of the pregnancy. I was afraid if I had another miscarriage, the registry might just become another painful reminder. </p> <p>But I agree with others; a private wish list seems reasonable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915268 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 21:48:37 +0000 PrincessBaby 1915268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do a private Pinterest board:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915178 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 20:01:30 +0000 MapleMoose 1915178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pinterest board or wish list to keep track of items or inspiration, yes. Registry no. I wouldn't feel comfortable signing up for a registry account and adding items when I hadn't gotten to a certain point in my pregnancy yet. I feel the same way regarding a wedding registery when you aren't engaged yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915172 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 19:48:12 +0000 jhd 1915172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a private amazon wish list &amp; secret boards on Pinterest, but didn't start the registry until after our BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915141 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 18:44:43 +0000 Arden 1915141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, I had a private Amazon one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915139 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 18:37:09 +0000 catomd00 1915139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I wouldn't personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915136 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 18:33:56 +0000 lilyofthewest 1915136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915126 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 18:19:56 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1915126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a private registry before my bfp.

Registry-- heck no. Just transfer stuff over to the registry when you really start it. And you can add non-Amazon items to Amazon registries, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915111 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 18:06:34 +0000 Happygal 1915111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A secret wish list--yes! An actual registry--no. I looked at lots of baby stuff online while trying and would mark things in an Amazon secret list so I could remember items I liked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-start-a-registry-before-you-got-your-bfp#post-1915109 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 18:01:33 +0000 babycanuck 1915109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby fever is rampant right now. Knowing that my solution to my TTC issues is coming soon (and keeping my fingers crossed that we do get lucky after) I keep looking at my secret pinterest board for my non-existent child and wonder about starting a registry. I would be the type of person who uses myregistry.com not caring where people bought what I wanted.</p> <p>Am I crazy? I feel like I am! </p>
