Re: Earliest to have a baby shower?

Mine falls on my 33w in the middle of the holiday season between Thanksgving and Christmas.

Re: Earliest to have a baby shower?

I had mine at 30/31 weeks and thought it was perfect. I think between 30 and 33 weeks is ideal.

Im now at 35 weeks and starting to get uncomfortable. PLus I liked having the extra time after the shower to wash, organize, return ,exchange as needed the shower gifts.

Re: Earliest to have a baby shower?

Mine was scheduled for 34 weeks, but I had wanted them to do it at 32 weeks.

Well, I gave birth at 31w6d so I had a 2 week old baby at my shower

I think 30 weeks is good. I'd say anywhere from 30-34 weeks is ideal IMO.

Re: Earliest to have a baby shower?

I will be 30 weeks at mine. . . I had no say in when it was but I am assuming that since I am due in January my sister wanted to have it before the holidays.

My sister's baby shower was scheduled when she was to be 35 weeks, but my little nephew had other plans. He decided to come early at 33 weeks. Oh well, everything worked out.

Re: Earliest to have a baby shower?

I wouldn't want it earlier than 30-31 wks. Having all that stuff around the house before the baby comes would drive me nuts.

I had mine around 34 wks and gave birth at 37 wks.

Re: Earliest to have a baby shower?

mine was 29 weeks and I was perfectly comfortable, I was able to find a dress that fit well and I think it was perfect. I refused to do it before 30 weeks but BFF was going to be in town already so we planned it a week early. worked out just fine

I probably wouldn't go to much earlier then 28 weeks though. I was hardly even showing at 29 weeks!

Re: Earliest to have a baby shower?

Mine is a surprise but I suspect it will happen in the next couple of weeks, therefore weeks 29 to 31.
Good thing too bc now I am high risk and can go at any time.

Re: Earliest to have a baby shower?

Mine will be at 34 weeks.
