I'd do yours soon YumyMummy - people are pretty understanding that its easier on the mum-to-be if they are earlier

Mine is next weekend I'll be 31w, and would have made it earlier had there been space on our calendars..... towards the end of the 2nd trimester is good cause you still have plenty of energy to participate & you can work out what you still 'need' ]]> Tue, 30 Aug 2011 10:55:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1381721&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1381721 <![CDATA[When is to soon for a baby shower? : My first baby was due in Feb and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1381627&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1381627 Author: kiwisj

My first baby was due in Feb and my best friend organised my shower for when I was 31 weeks. My waters broke two days later! So I was very glad my friends convinced me to have it "early"

I was supposed to have a shower for DS2 even earlier (since there was a chance I'd have another premmie) but I kept putting it off and in the end I was 35 weeks when we did it and DS wasn't born till 39 weeks.

Since my friends did all the organising, I didn't mind being more heavily pregnant. It was more fun for the games as well ]]> Mon, 29 Aug 2011 23:17:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1381627&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1381627 <![CDATA[When is to soon for a baby shower? : Hey ya YumyMummy I think you should...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1381508&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1381508 Author: Jessenia

Hey ya YumyMummy
I think you should just have the baby shower soon, or maybe do what some others have said they did for theres and wait for baby to be a few months old. I am haiving mine at 26weeks i would have had it at 23-24 weeks but dates did not work out for family. Just go for it and have it soon lol ]]> Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:03:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1381508&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1381508 <![CDATA[When is to soon for a baby shower? : I would also love to have my baby...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1380427&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1380427 Author: YumyMummy

I would also love to have my baby shower early...

Currently 21weeks preg, due 4th Jan but as my son was born premature at 28+5weeks i never got to have a baby shower with him...

So because i am now a high risk pregnancy i am unsure when to have my baby shower incase i do go early again...

I also have my birthday in 7 weeks time (I'l be 28weeks on my bday) just to make things slightly harder lol ;-)

Any Ideas on when i could have baby shower???

Thanks ]]> Fri, 26 Aug 2011 11:47:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1380427&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1380427 <![CDATA[When is to soon for a baby shower? : I had a friend wait until baby...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1377588&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1377588 Author: raz_1984

I wish I could have one earlier. I am trying to work around family members. My sister in law is out of the country till late oct and really wants to be involved. And my best friend gets married the first week of Nov and wants to organise it. I don't want her thinking about the baby shower rather than her own wedding so trying to get it sorted for the week after which will be middle of Nov. I'm due 9th Dec so it will be a late one. I'm hoping bubs doesn't come early, though I have heard of a lot of people having them after baby as a bit more of a celebration and meet the baby...]]> Wed, 17 Aug 2011 15:36:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1377103&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1377103 <![CDATA[When is to soon for a baby shower? : Oh good, glad others are having...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1376161&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1376161 Author: raz_1984

Oh good, glad others are having theirs early too.

I was due mid Dec and have mine last weekend in Oct... I think having earlier is good.

Dont want to leave it too late. A friend was going to have hers at 37 weeks, when she finished work... had bubba the day before the baby shower was meant to happen!! Got to have shower later with baby...

As a guest I would appreciate not having to factor in a baby shower present in the middle of xmas shopping!!]]> Thu, 11 Aug 2011 09:36:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1374538&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1374538 <![CDATA[When is to soon for a baby shower? : its a reat idea i was 8 and half...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1374498&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1374498 Author: james

I'd say go ahead Dec/Jan is an expensive and busy time of year for everyone and I'm sure they will appreciate your thoughtfulness .

I had mine at 23weeks pregnant and no body seemed to mind that it was early. It made it much easier in that I had time to go through what I was given and organise it and then decide what I needed to buy (which was not too much at all). ]]> Wed, 10 Aug 2011 19:30:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1374365&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1374365 <![CDATA[When is to soon for a baby shower? : I personally think the earlier...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40169&PID=1374351&title=when-is-to-soon-for-a-baby-shower#1374351 Author: LivMcD
