is it bad luck to have pram in house before the baby arrives? we have got our pram but mother in law wont store it for us! even though she has 2 spare bedrooms 2 living rooms, and a massive dining room in her house! but she told us last time it was bad luck. also is it bad luck to open the moses basket and bouncer etc? its all boxed in our garage which isnt attached to our house.
please help!

danni and 30wk bump xxx

I am on baby number 5, i have always kept my pram and other baby bits in my house and never had a problem, it is just another old wives tale.

dont add more worry to your life by listening to it hun
huge hugs

will happen i think. its like any other old wives tales, i think. i kept mine from 20 weeks in the flat and everything was fine. if you've got the space and are happy to have it in your house then go for it, it will save the hassel on getting it from whoever has it once the bump is born. As for opening stuff i have never heard that. I kept mine in boxes til 38 weeks as i was moving at 38 weeks but it was all unpacked and set up by the mother in law and nick when the rest of us was upacking the rest of the boxes. Silly ? but do you believe in old wives tales???

the old wives tale is that its bad luck to keep the pram in the house before the baby arrives , am unsure as to whether this extends to moses basket and bouncer ...

I ordered mine and kept it in the shop until I was in labour - OH went to collect it while I was in hospital, Im too superstitious !! I kept moses basket and other such items stored in cellophane in my mums attic - she set it all up for me before i came home with Harry which was really sweet
