Question about twins and baby shower

Hi!  My sister is pregnant with twins and I'm in charge of planning her baby shower.  I was wondering how far along you all would suggest throwing it.

She has to fly in for the shower so that's a consideration plus I'd want to have it early enough so that she's not completely uncomfortable the whole time.

Any thoughts/suggestions?  Thanks!

  • I just had mine over the weekend and I felt great.  You might however want to have her check with her doctor about how long she can fly for.

  • my OB didn't want me flying past 20 weeks - she will need to talk to her doctor- every doc is different, every pg is different... everyone is OK with different amount of risk (i, for one, did not feel comfortable flying at all during my pg)

  • As early as possible.

  • I'm having mine this weekend at 24 weeks. It's only an hour flight, but I don't feel comfortable flying after this point.

    agreed. if she didn't have to fly i would say 28 weeks but since she has to fly it should be earlier. Good luck! 

  • I certainly wouldn't have it any later than 28 weeks.  I toyed with the idea of having mine at 31 weeks and I am SO glad that I decided against it because the very next week after the shower I had my activity limited.  She should definately talk to her doctor about the flying part - I would say have it sooner rather than later.

  • My Dr said no flying after 24w and since I have to travel for my family one it will be at 22w.

  • Early is definitely better! ?I had mine at 32 and 34 weeks, and I was so uncomfortable for both of them. ?
  • I agree with talking to her doctor first, and doing it as early as possible!
