Is it bad luck?

Hi, I'm currently 20 wks 5 ds pregnant. Both parents on my side and my bfs side are really excited as this is going to be their first grandchild... anyway my mum said she wanted to buy the pram and he's mum said she'll get the cot... So I chose one thinking it wouldn't be ordered till after the baby is born (the pram) but my mum has ordered it and will be storing it at my aunties... My friend who is alsop pregnant said its bad luck! Now I keep thinking something bad will happen... Has anyone else got the pram before the baby was born? I'm just looking for some peace of mind really. Thanks! alsoalso

No its not bad luck to get any of it before hand. Its called being prepared for babys arrival is all. Don't wait til last minute cuz you won't want to do that shopping after baby is born.

Lol thats just an old wives tale. And the saying is its bad luck to have the pram at your house. If its at your aunties house then that is fine!!!

That being said its a load of rubbish lol. LOADS of people get the pram before the baby comes including me! Nothing bad happened and didnt happen to all the people i know who had their pram early.

Dont panic hun even though its normal too hehe x
