When is a good time to have a baby shower, weeks wise?  My mom wants to plan mine for February, mostly because we are getting hit with 3 weddings from April - June so we'll have bridal showers mixed in that time too.  I'll only be about 30 weeks.  Is that too early?  I'll still have 10 weeks left before the baby comes....

I think that's fine.  Who knows?  Maybe baby will arrive early and you'll be glad to have gotten your necessities from the shower.

I don't see a problem having it a little early. In fact, it'll give you more time to sort through all those gifts and start nesting :)

I'll be 31 weeks when they have my shower. I thought it was a bit early but now I'm appreciating the extra time to sort/put away/return gifts.

I have a couple cousins who did go into labor early, but had already had their showers so it is fairly standard practice in my family to do then around 6 months.  Plus I remember my bestie being miserable at hers (she was 8mos) b/c she couldn't sit comfortably or bend down to rip paper off of bigger gifts.  Her husband was holding them while she tried to rip the paper and she was so over it by the time they finished up lol.  So I think Feb is a good plan!

I think it's totally fine! I remember with Alexis mine was 8 weeks or so prior to my dd bc my dd was dec 18th and I wanted to do it before all the hectic holiday stuff started.

i want mine earlier than it is being scheduled, 30 weeks sounds perfect to me!  i'll be about a month out for mine - that's cutting it way too close in my opinion.

Ok this makes me feel better.  I didnt want it to seem like I was "jumping the gun" or anything like that.  Our family is just so busy with 3 girls getting married that my mom figured she'd start the shower brigade haha.

I think it's a really good idea.  I know my bestie didn't want hers so late, but she was due in June and they were having a really hard time getting a weekend that worked that was not already booked.  It also didn't help that she is a nurse and worked every other weekend.  Enjoy it!
