Baby Showers

how far along were you when you had your shower?

this probably gets asked a lot i know! my mom is throwing me one and she asked when i want to have it. any advice? i want to have time to get stuff set up and return things if necessary before lo is born. i'm the first one of my friends to have a baby so i don't know when the norm is to have one!

Re: how far along were you when you had your shower?

  • I'll be a day shy of 34 weeks at mine.  I wanted enough time to set up the nursery and make returns afterwards, but I also wanted to be far enough along to actually look really pregnant!  :)

  • I had mine at 32 weeks. I though it was a geat time because it gave me a couple of months to get the nursery ready (after the big u/s), set up a regestry and then once the shower was over I had time to put things away and set all the things together and in place.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

  • 30 weeks, due to the holidays...probably would have waited a few more weeks any other time of year.
  • I was 34 weeks at mine.We went out that weekend and returned and bought things we wanted. It was so overwhelming though!

  • 36-38 weeks (I had 4 showers)
  • Our shower is this weekend and I am 30 weeks. This works good for us and will give us plenty of time to make any returns/exchanges and get the nursery in order. I also did not want to be out of it at my shower. Plus with the holidays coming it was a good time for my family.

  • 30 weeks, 1 day!

  • I am currently a little over 27 weeks and I have decided not to have a shower due to distance between friends and family...so I just registered with target and babies r us - so it can all be shipped and the people can shop over the holidays.
  • I was 31w 1d at my shower.  I wanted it early so I'd had time to purchase anything needed that we didn't receive.
  • 34 weeks

  • I'm having 3 and my first one is this Sunday at 30 weeks. My other two are the same weekend Sat/Sun and I'll be 32 weeks. The holidays sort of made the timing difficult.
  • Mine is this weekend. I will be 29 weeks. We did it early because of holidays and weather in Jan can be tough in boston.

  • I'll be 28 weeks at my shower. We didn't want to do it too close to the holidays and some weekends in Jan. already didn't work for either me or my mom.
  • My showers are planned for Jan 30th and Feb 21st.  I'll be 33 weeks at the first and 36 weeks at the second.  It's pushing it a bit, but we wanted to give people a decent break after the holidays.
  • I just had my 1st shower at 26 weeks, as I had to travel abroad for it (my  mother lives in Peru).  My shower here in Florida will be when I am 34 weeks.

  • 26 weeks and 32 weeks.  
  • 29 weeks...we wanted to have it before all of the holiday craziness started, and didn't want to wait until January since then I'd be at least 36 weeks.

    A friend of mine had to travel home for her shower and everyone bought her a gift card and a picture of what they wanted her to use it on when she got home. Just an idea...
