Baby shower timing

growbeangrow

Ladies, when do you suggest that you have a baby shower while pregnant with multiples?

Before your 3rd trimester starts.

I had mine at 26 weeks and it worked out perfectly.  I was able to register before I got huge and uncomfortable. I was able to actually walk around the store and enjoy the experience.  I was also able to really enjoy and have fun at my shower. It also left me some time to get everything in the babies' room and washed and put away. I think the timing was perfect. I thought i was too early at first but now looking back I'm soooo glad we did it early. I couldn't even imagine trying to do all that stuff now. Good luck!

No later than 28w.

Agreed.  My shower was at 28w and I was in the hospital the next day with PTL.  I'm thankful we got that one last perfect day of pregnancy before I was on mag, getting steroid shots, and on hospital bed rest for 10 days.

One was at 24w and the other at 26w4d. I really enjoyed both.

I'll be 28 weeks

My 1st one will be when I'm 29 wks, and my 2nd one will be when I'm almost 32 wks.  We'll see if I make it to the 2nd one!  I told my mom that I wanted it before 30 wks, but she wouldn't listen.  The 2nd shower is also 2 hrs away.  I asked my OB the other day, and she seemed okay with it.  My next apptmt will be right before my 2nd shower, so I'll ask again.

I had mine today and I am 27 weeks. I have another at 29 weeks. I am glad we are doing it early, but I am exhausted.

I didn't have a shower for the twins, since they are #2 and #3, but I had my shower for DD1 at 33 weeks, and she was born the next week. I barely made it! I would definitely do it before 30 weeks, and I agree that the best time is probably around 28 weeks or so.

My shower is next weekend. I'm definitely glad it's early. I'm not that big, but I definitely feel like I'm getting closer to that "hitting the wall" that happens.

The shower date is still a little up in the air...but planners are aiming for the end of May, which would put me around 24 weeks (possibly a little less, possibly a little more).

We've had adventures...so I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed that we won't have anything major come up between now and then...

I had mine at 26 weeks and I was able to enjoy it and slowly work on the nursery. Obviously I haven't had them yet, but PTL is such a high possibility, I wanted to be ready early for the piece of mind. 

For me, it was great timing.

I say 6 months.  I was so tired with my daughter towards the end.  With multiples most of us go on bed rest by 7 months and due at 8 months.

I just had mine at 22 weeks, 3 days.  I probably could have waited up to another month but the timing was what worked for my host and for me.  My bump is definitely big enough and I was glad to get it done now so I could enjoy it - I'm still exhausted from it so I don't know how those ladies do it in their 3rd tri - I would definitely aim for before then.
