UPDATE on When is/was your baby shower?
I went to see my nutritionist today for my gestational diabetes. She said that my OB will never let a GD mom go past 39 weeks. My baby shower is 39w1d. Hmmmm ... I'm curious now as to what's going to happen!

Re: UPDATE on When is/was your baby shower?
I think you could change the date. Sorry, I can't find your original post, but have you sent invitations out yet? I think a lot of people will understand if you have it changed....I mean, you didn't know that you'd have to be induced (if you don't go early) before you sent the invites out did you?
Also, it is pretty dumb to have your shower at 39w1d anyway....no offense or anything...of course, I didn't see or remember your original post, so you may have had a good reason for it....
My post was earlier today but I'll summarize.
I'm not the one planning my shower. The weekends between now and my due date are filled with birthdays, graduations, etc. I didn't mind that it was at 39w1d ... I would've been upset if my LO came early and they had planned the shower and he was here already! I told them today that I would probably be induced prior to the shower, so we will see what they do!
Also .. you read and replied to my OP earlier today.
I kept scrolling to see which when is/was your baby shower, and I couldn't find it! I scrolled down looking for your name, and I found it in 5 seconds. I feel dumb. Sorry.
Yikes. Hopefully they can find a date to fit it in...maybe a Friday night would work?
There's always after the baby is born too. That's fairly common too.

Yikes, that is a little late for my personal taste. I would try to change it.
mine was at 35 weeks. I was certain I'd go to 42 weeks but DS was born at 38 weeks! I was shocked! So I was very glad to have those 3 weeks to organize because I had a very difficult and bad recovery and would not have been able to attend a shower a week later. I was still in the hospital, with DS, a week later!

I'm only going to be 28 weeks along when my shower is being thrown, the host works out of town on and off during the summer time. My baby is due August 11 so she picked a date that didn't land on holidays or interfere with her work schedule. The doctor thinks I'm going to deliver slightly early being that after 36 weeks my daughter did not want to stay in and tried to come out 3-4 times before they finally let her. Plus, the 8+ weeks will give us plenty of time to be able to get the things we still need and keep stocking up for baby. I am all for going in between finding out what sex the baby is (if you are going to of course) and maybe 36 weeks (for some this could be pushing it though or they may be completely uncomfortable by then).
My shower is in May, when I will be 37 weeks
. I wish it were sooner because I think by then I will be so grouchy/ready to deliver. MIL actually wanted it one week later put I expressed that that was really pushing it.
I wanted to wait until the shower to see what I would need to buy. Now I will do shopping before shower and get all baby stuff ready so I'm not rushed at the end.
I'm having one at 30 weeks, one at 32 weeks, and one at 34 weeks. I know it's obnoxious to have 3, but two are in the town where we currently live (splitting up a group of 50 people) and one is in my hometown for family and friends so they don't have to drive 3 hours for the others. I think the 30/32 weeks are a little early, but baby is due July 6th, and it's just hard in the Spring with Memorial Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, graduations, weddings, etc.
I wouldn't want to wait until 39 weeks, though. Don't you want to know everything you have in time to purchase whatever is left? You could also go into labor earlier than that!
