WWYD regarding date for shower?

JakesBride07

We are expecting twins...the godmothers have offered to host a shower for us and asks for some suggestions on dates.

Right now we are in the high risk category (suffering from pPROM) and I will be admitted to the hospital relativley soon for the duration.

One of the godmothers suggested doing a shower before I get admitted, but I feel like it's going to be hard to throw it together in a short time frame (1 week or less). And I have to admit DH and I are scared to have a shower at this point because we are also having some problems with one of the babies. And don't know the outcome.

It's possible they could be very early preemies and if I make it to 35 weeks they are planning to induce or do a c-section at that point.

Do you have the absolute necessities for the babies? As long as you are not relying on gifts from your shower before you take them home, I think a better option for you might be a "Meet the Babies" party/shower.

I would agree w/ PP. I wouldn't want to jump the gun just to have a shower while prego. I would prefer to wait and know things are looking good with them health wise - even if you have a shower while they are in the NICU if that becomes the outcome.

I'd probably bring your husband as your date.

I agree that a "meet the babies" shower would be best.  Your post made it sound like you may be a little (or maybe more than a little) stressed.  Don't add anything else to your stress level.

Ditto the others. And if you get to a point where you feel more comfortable with the outcome you could always have a shower in the hospital. I know at ours there are rooms you could easily use for that and all the staff would be around if there were issues.
