I posted this on the baby shower board but thought I'd get all of your input as well...just curious...how many weeks pregnant will you be at your baby shower?
I will be 34 weeks at the first one (5 hours away) and 35 weeks at the second (1 hour away). I'm a tad bit nervous about this! I really hope I don't go into labor early or that I'm too uncomfortable. I want to be able to enjoy the showers!
Re: How many weeks?
If you don't have control over the dates at this point there's nothing you can do and no point in worrying!
Also, if it makes you feel better I delivered at 42 weeks so I would have been totally ok with those dates!
Mine is this Saturday and I will be 37 weeks 5 days. It is about an hour from my hospital (and home), but no worries. DH is a professional driver, so he will get me back home quickly if needed. ZOOM!
I am expecting to be late and not saying early would be impossible, either. I just don't want to start getting bored later in my pregnancy and refusing to do things. I bore easily.
I have a Daughter born 2/26/2013. She is pretty much amazing!
At my last shower I was barely 38 weeks. (That's right, it was recently!) It was freaking me out, but it turned out okay, and now that it's over I'm so revealed!
I was totally sick though so I didn't feel up to even so much as conversing with guests! And if I had more time I would have been more able to postpone the shower until I was feeling better, (I had been sick for over a week before the shower, and knew I'd still be sick once the shower came because the rest of my household was sick for about two weeks straight before I caught it. This one's hard to get rid of!)
Anyway, I wouldn't worry so much about a shower at 35 weeks. Having a baby 5 weeks early is pretty rare-sauce.
A few friends were the first to be pregnant in our group of friends and recommended to me that I have it earlier, explaining that I'll feel way more comfortable that way. I actually had my first shower at 26 weeks because I live in California but was home in NH for the holidays and my family wanted to throw a little shower for me then. I have another one a week from Saturday and I'll be at 30 weeks which is more so the official shower.
I'm sure you'll be just fine though. Just try to relax and enjoy the moment.
