Having baby before baby shower?

Question

Anyone ever end up having their baby before their baby shower? My mom had planned my shower to be on Sep 10th, already has a place reserved and has sent out invitations. I wasn't due until Sep 23rd. I suddenly experienced complications last week and now my doctor wants to induce me at 37 weeks, which is Sep 2nd. It's too late to reschedule, I guess I'm just kinda worried about bringing a newborn to the party? FTM here, lol.

Answer

I believe the best time for baby to be around tons of people are in those first weeks... They really have more immunity... cuz they get it from you. 
And it will also allow people to see you and baby! :) so you might get suff that will suit baby better!! ;) 
Best of luck with the delivery! :) and Congrats!

Answer

I had my baby shower after my son was born, my grandmother believed it was bad luck to have it beforehand.

It went over great though, everybody got to see the baby all at once, they knew what clothing sizes to buy (newborn was way to small), and of course they knew gender and we even received some monogrammed items with his birth info/name.

Answer

I had 2 showers after my son was born. One at 2 weeks and one at a month. I'll be doing the same with this baby though it will be a meet the baby party not a shower.

Answer

I'm choosing to do a Meet and Greet not a baby shower. :)

Answer

When I was pregnant with my daughter she wouldn't uncross her legs so we had no clue of her gender so we waited till she was 2 weeks old to have a baby shower! Everyone loves it because they got to pass her around as I opened gifts and such. It'll be fine. Prayers for a safe delivery for you!

Answer

In the area I live in rual Saskatchewan (Canada) a lot of the baby showers are after the baby comes and everything is the same expect the baby is outside not inside the Mommy lol
