Mum was appauled too, aswell as aunties, but i personally think its an old tradition and wanted my pram here with me!! Makes me feel more prepared seeing it there, and really happy being able to play with it!!
It's a personal choice and depends on how superstitious you are!! Totally up to you though xxxxx

I've had mine for ages. This is second baby and second time I've done it so dont believe in all that old fashioned crap of bad Omens and bad luck having baby stuff in your home before the birth!
If you ask me it was invented by pain in the arse Mothers and MILs so they can have them at theirs and play with them and exert some control over you! of course she was appauled! it means she cant be in control of it and that your grown up and that you are making your own choices! its hard to take for some mums
Same as a Curry and a shag is supposed to bring on labour! I've even heard girls saying your supposed to 'swallow' I mean seriously!?!! that was SO thought up by a MAN! do I look stoopid! LOL
Store it wherever you like, put a doll in it and fricking USE it if you want! its your pram your baby your house!!! YOUR RULES.

PS and yes the hormones have got a hold on me again today!! GRRRRRRR I could punch someone today lol!!
Probably is true he he...
I have left our pushchair at MIL house though only so it was out of way as we were still decorating etc.
Hubby will be putting it up in next week or 2 and i can play with it! And he can as am sure he will want to lol..
Definatley agree a man must have invented the rule about swallowing! xxx
I'd heard all the "you can't keep it in the house..." but the only way that having the pram in the house is going to be bad luck is if i trip over the damn thing.
apparently my gran had a real go at my mum for keeping their pram in the house but my mum thought it was rubbish.
ours is at mil's because we need to sort out our loft and nursery and having 3 extra boxes taking up room isn't going to help.
i'd have never stopped playing with it if it was in the house...
We didn't really want it home anyway as we need the room to decorate etc so I thought I'd humour her as she believes in the old wives tale.
Anyway, I love it so much, as Mrs Ikea suggested, I prob would be pushing it down the street with a doll in it! x
Mine is at my mums. She is superstitous, im not and agree with Mrs Giddy. However its simply around the corner from us and it means more to her than it does to me and she has been fantastic and has even nested for me. my house is spotless! thanks Mum lol.
Does anyone know the origins of the old wives tale?? everyone i have asked doesnt xx
My Mum and MIL both mentioned the superstition, our parents have been so good to us buying pretty much all the 'big' items for baby, so I didn't mind making this concession to them.
Looking forward to my folks bringing the pram round whenever baby decides to make an appearance though...
I have heard of people rushing about to pick loads of stuff up when baby is born, but I am quite happy to have a cot, car seat etc all ready!

mines in my room, no where else for it to go. All this superstition crap annoys me, be cautious but dont go over board with old wives tails and superstitions for goodness sake!
I like to have a play every now and again to make sure i can do all the changes once bubba is here. Have resisted putting a teddy in it and walking round the block lol
