It involved international travel so any later would have gotten too close to the holidays and my no fly date.</p> <p>I won't be having a second shower with this one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1818077 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 11:43:32 +0000 charmed 1818077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm due in January too, and my mom is thinking of having a shower for me in late October to avoid the holidays and a family wedding in November. I'll be about 29 weeks along.<br /> If it wasn't for the wedding, the shower would probably be mid November. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1818026 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 10:53:37 +0000 autumnlove 1818026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>34 weeks pregnant with LO 1.

If I were you I would try for before Thanksgiving, I think you will be far enough a long it's perfectly fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1818001 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 10:41:15 +0000 bushelandapeck 1818001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS I was 32 weeks.

I'll be about 28 weeks. I already have a little bump going on, so I think it will be a nice size at that point, and I won't be too huge and uncomfortable to travel :happy: I don't think there's any harm in having the shower earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1817975 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 10:31:29 +0000 getjazzy 1817975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family threw me a shower about 5-6 weeks before my due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1817970 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 10:30:14 +0000 Littlebit 1817970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my first at 30 weeks, having my second this weekend at 35 weeks. </p> <p>This one is pushing it. I really wish they would have scheduled it for earlier. Right now I'm so uncomfortable and swollen, and grumpy, the last thing I want to do is get dressed up like a show pony. Also, now we only have a month or so to finish getting everything else we need. Earlier the better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1817946 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 10:20:53 +0000 snowjewelz 1817946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm due 12/8 and right now planning to have my shower early Oct; I just want it a little earlier so I have time to situate all the gifts, buy more things, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1817890 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 09:42:09 +0000 lawbee11 1817890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had mine around 31 weeks. I had a good size bump, and I was still feeling good. I'd probably have it before Thanksgiving if I were you.</p> <p>ETA: I had another smaller shower thrown by a family friend around 36 weeks and I much preferred how I felt and looked at the earlier one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1817885 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 09:40:16 +0000 Cole 1817885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My main shower was at 30 weeks, we had to travel to go to it and I sort of wish we had done it about two weeks earlier- but only because the car is no longer my friend for more than about 30 minutes. We are having two smaller showers around 34 weeks but I would be twitching over not having most stuff ready by the . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1817882 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 09:38:31 +0000 littlek 1817882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was supposed to have one at 34 weeks.

Earlier would have been good too. I went to a Christmas themed shower for one of DH's cousins. Decorations and snacks were easy to coordinate and plenty of people came. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1817596 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 07:29:05 +0000 Alivoo01 1817596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was due in August and had my baby shower in June.

(I'm a little biased, it's my birthday lol) I was due September 23rd &amp; I had my baby shower the last weekend in June...the 28th I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1817572 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 06:51:52 +0000 sslm 1817572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I traveled to my hometown at Christmas and my mom threw me a shower while I was there, I think it was December 27th, and people still came! I was only 25 weeks but wasn't going to be home again before the baby was born. </p> <p>I had my shower where I lived when I was 37 weeks and that felt a but late. I was pretty uncomfortable at that point, but it still turned out ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1817569 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 06:50:44 +0000 travellingbee 1817569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I was around 34 weeks.

Luckily, most people knew the circumstances (I was only in town for a few days), so most everyone showed up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1817551 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 06:29:41 +0000 youboots 1817551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's my understanding that about 2 months before baby is due is typical. Enough to be showing but not too uncomfortable. Also it gives you time to set up the nursery, do exchanges, and buy whatever else you need without being in a hurry. I vote two weekends before Thanksgiving just in case people travel the week of. Honestly my schedule is so hectic during the holidays, you want people to look forward to it, not just fit it into their schedule, you know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1817470 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 02:34:44 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1817470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am having my shower next weekend when I will be 31 weeks. I think the time in between the holidays may be a little hectic, maybe before Thanksgiving as that's not a gift-giving holiday and might not be as hard on people's wallets? Nothing wrong with having the shower a little earlier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-have-your-baby-shower-1#post-1817450 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 01:27:45 +0000 turquoisemama 1817450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm due on January 8th and my mom was talking about throwing a shower between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think a winter shower theme would be so cute, but I'm afraid with all the holidays, people won't show up or will be out of town. I also don't want to do it too early. How many months were you when you had your shower? </p>
