Baby shower already?! Lol

Question

I feel like so many of you guys are already having baby showers and I thought most people wait till at least the month before. But everybody is different and we all have different situations. Me on the other hand I'm almost 26 weeks and I don't have absolutely Anything for my baby yet. All though I don't know if I'm even having a baby shower I'll probably start getting stuff by the end of this month. I have just been all over the place so I haven't even been hung up on getting stuff. Plus no money. So hopefully I can get everything I need by time this baby comes.

Answer

A lot of people are having showers recently or next month because the month before we are due is the holidays and many people are busy or strapped for cash then. My shower is in 2 weeks because my mom wanted to do it before Thanksgiving and Christmas. We knew hardly anyone would come if we planned it for December.

Answer

With the holidays coming up there are a lot of scheduling conflicts. We are having ours on 11/9 and I'll be 31 weeks.

Answer

Yup same about the holidays. I'm due Jan 1st so we are doing mine in 2ish weeks before the holiday craziness picks up.

Answer

Photos and showers are also commonly done around 28 weeks where we aren’t as big and uncomfortable yet. 
I know some people like me prepared already (have maybe like 80% of the stuff) because I’m at risk for pre term labor. If she comes early and we have a NICU stay I dont want to be worried about what still needs to be done at home

Answer

My shower is in 3 weeks I’ll be 7 months exactly which I feel is perfect month 8 I plan to nest month 9 I plan to rest 😂

Answer

I'm having mine on Nov 3rd. . The month before is way too close not just because lots of ppl go into labor early but also because you need time to find good deals on everything you didn't get for your shower... and then of course there's the holidays. I believe the general average for a shower is 12 to 8 weeks before baby.

Answer

My children are giving us one on 12/7. I'm due 9th of Jan but I may be induced at end of year. Then I'm cutting it close for people who celebrate xmas. All the decision making happened at last minute for us.

Answer

I was waiting till 32 weeks for my shower. However, I’ve already had a preterm labor scare at 28 weeks. Now I’m wondering if baby will already be here by my shower date. Lol

Answer

I’m 27 weeks now mine are next month we decided to do ours in November since we’re due mid January and December is so hard to get together with the holidays! I’ll be 31 weeks and 32 weeks for mine ( we’re having two cuz of family everywhere)

Answer

I totally wanted to avoid the Christmas season, December is busy enough for everyone as it is. And 2nd, I live in Canada so the weather can be very unpredictable in January. I would be devastated if my shower was cancelled because of a snow storm.
