I personally have never known anyone to have a shower with their second or third child however, to each their own I think having a get together to celebrate is great but I do feel that showers can become very gift grabby. For example, I had a bridal shower but I did not register and did not care about gifts because my husband and I were in our 30s and had already been living together for years so it did feel very greedy to be asking when we already had a house filled with things that we need. I will be having a baby shower. This is my first pregnancy so there are of course 1 million things that we will need however I have decided not to register.
Isn't a mother's day gift kinda like a push pregnant? Or men who marry or propose to their pregnant girlfriends because he knocked her up and wants to do the right thing...kinda like a push gift? Think about it. Entitlement vs. Obligation

Baby showers aren't an obligation. Neither is marriage. Or Mother's Day. Or any other holiday for that matter. It's not really an entitlement either. It's something individuals can choose to celebrate on their own. And I don't know about everyone else, but the only gift I get on Mother's Day is from my husband. Baby showers are considered gift grabby because proper etiquette says you bring a gift and those with multiple baby showers are receiving gifts that they might have previously been given at another baby shower thrown for them. Also there's no etiquette that says I have to give gifts to all my mom friends on Mother's Day. Technically you can choose whether or not to celebrate/attend someone's baby shower, so it's not an obligation either. Some just feel an obligation based on relationships, however, being thrown a baby shower isn't an obligation for anyone.
I'm having a girl after my boy almost three years later so I'm having a "celebration" since this is my last but we will be treating our guests and I will not be registering anywhere bc I don't want my guests to think I'm expecting gifts.. It will be a ladies only gathering to make it smaller.. Even though I gave away my "big" items such as, swing, bassinet, car seat etc.. I would never expect those expensive things from guests for a SECOND time. We will buy all of that..

Mother's day is for everything that comes after the push. It's a thank you for changing diapers, late nights, and all the day to day craziness. I consider it the day you can show your appreciation for everything Mom does. My mother's days are always a homemade card from my daughters and their best attempt with their father to make cupcakes. . I send my Mom a card and flowers just to let her know I'm thinking of her and how much shes been there for me; not for "pushing". The "push" and labor are easy compared to when motherhood really catches up with you. Definitely not a "push present", yuck. You seem to be grabbing at straws trying to link the rest together as well...

You lost me at "push pregnant".
Yeah, I'm not even going to pretend I understood that post...
Re: baby shower or no?
This is like a shampoo commercial. Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat...
