We moved home when I was 38 weeks pregnant and because we had things going on until my due date, we decided to have a party when LO was about a month old. My FIL passed away unexpectedly when LO was 2.5 weeks old so it didn't cross any of our minds until a few months later that it never happened (yes, even mine, I completely forgot until we started planning the next baby shower). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-cancel-your-baby-shower#post-866733 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:18:49 +0000 StbHisMrs 866733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my oldest son's was suppose to on April 17, but he was born on the 16th at 35 weeks.

It's definitely not the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-cancel-your-baby-shower#post-866564 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:03:41 +0000 littlek 866564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine wasn't canceled but B was at the baby shower. He actually got released from the NICU a day or two before the shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-cancel-your-baby-shower#post-866550 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:54:08 +0000 MrsF 866550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was lucky - I was put on bedrest 2 days after my shower and was induced one week later at 36 weeks. I'm so glad I made it. It was a beautiful day and I felt great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-cancel-your-baby-shower#post-866545 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:50:25 +0000 winniebee 866545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost, b/c I was on bedrest.

Buuut of course, she arrived at 37 weeks, on October 31. So no shower for this mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-cancel-your-baby-shower#post-866421 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:52:43 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 866421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to can el before it was even officially set since lo was 3 1/2 months early. I did get a shower a couples the after he was born, but it was quite different. Just one of the sad things about having a preemie... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-cancel-your-baby-shower#post-866382 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:33:37 +0000 Espion 866382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have to cancel it, but I couldn't go!

Baby TRIED to make an early arrival so I was banned from flying so we had to cancel. I was pretty devestated but knew it was the right thing to do. Oddly enough my mom had to cancel her baby shower too because my brother arrived early. Neither of us got a make up party. In my case everyone still sent presents but I'm very sad to have missed the experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-cancel-your-baby-shower#post-866334 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:12:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 866334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope not-- I'm 34 weeks and my shower is Sunday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-cancel-your-baby-shower#post-866330 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:11:04 +0000 autumnlove 866330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did your baby make an early entrance before your planned shower? Did you have a makeup party? </p>
