How many months before a baby is born should a baby shower be given?

Question

i'm pregnant about to be 4 months and i am due in february. i want to no what month i should have a baby shower because it's my first time.

Answer 1

i had my baby shower at 37 weeks and went into labour that morning (3 hours after everyone left!! lol) so make sure it gives you enough time :)

Answer 2

I would say January, it is fun to have the mom-to-be about to pop in order to get some good last time photos.

Answer 3

2-3 months before your due date. You want to know what things you will need to purchase that you don't receive and you don't want to wait until the last minute to do all of that shopping. Plus, towards the end of your pregnancy you will be very tired and swollen. You don't want to wait until too clsoe to your due date because you want to be able to actually enjoy your party, too!

Answer 4

I was too scared to have a shower during pregnancy (I knew too many women who  had lost their babies shortly before or after birth.) So I had a shower a month after  birth with the baby present. That was great fun and a lot of useful presents.

Answer 5

Either end of December or beginning of January

Answer 6

Mine was done the month before I had my baby.  Usually people do baby showers 2 months before your due date.

Answer 7

You can have your baby shower whenever you want some people even wait until after the baby is born. The most common time is about 1-2 months before you are due though. Mine is next week I'm quite looking forward to it

Answer 8

Baby showers are held when the mom is at least seven or eight months pregnant, when her tummy is very obvious already.

Answer 9

my friend had hers in december and she was due february

I had mine may 17th and was due July 2 so a good month to 2 months b4 due date is ideal/typical

Answer 10

if you no what your having its always fun to do it as soon as possible

Answer 11

You should have your shower in January. December can be a busy time for everyone with Christmas and everything and you don't want to do it too early. Most do it like a month before they are due.

Answer 12

Around 7-8 months pregnant is when most baby showers are held - so around December/January for you  :)

Answer 13

i would say about a month and a half before. gives you time to prepare after recieving the gifts, and then to sit on your butt when  you get too big to move. haha

Answer 14

december or early January.

Answer 15

i would have it in january usually a baby shower is a month to a month and a half before you have the baby, because by then you will know what you are having (if you want to know). good luck and congrats.  

Answer 16

i would say about 2 months before baby is due. but you shouldnt stress off of it now. you still have a while to go before your bundle of joy is here. relax and have fun

Answer 18

You can have a baby shower anytime, but most usually occur during your last couple of months (ie after 6months).  Given that you are due in February, you don't want to be conflicting with Xmas and the vacations people take around this time.

I would suggest to have the shower in November

Answer 19

My best friend was due Feb. 22 and had her baby shower Jan 3rd.  

When I had my first I was due Nov. 22 and had my shower Oct. 15.

My cousin is due is Oct and we are actually thinking about waiting til after her baby is born to have her shower...just something different.  

Its really up to you and your family.  Take into consideration if any of your immediate family that you want to attend is going to be out of town at any certain times, also the holidays.

Congrats and good luck with everything
