Baby Showers

Hi girls,
I know it's still extremely early for me but my sister wants to get a jump start on planning my baby(ies!) shower but I'm not sure when to tell her to have it. I know when you are pregnant with multiples you want to have it a bit earlier than a singleton (so you're not too big and uncomfortable or on bed rest as some women are later in multiple pregnancy) but I dont want to jump the gun and have it too early. When did you or are most of you planning on having your baby showers?? Is it too early at 25 weeks? Any advice or experiences would be great!! Thanks!!

Mine will be in October and I will be about 31weeks. We chose this date because I might have them in November and we don't want me to miss it.
I think you should go with whatever works for you and your host.

I had one of mine last week at 28 weeks, and my other one will be at 32 weeks. I wish I could have done it a little earlier, I would like to know i had everything before now so I don't have to rush out and get all the rest. I think between 25 and 30 weeks would be a great time.

I think 25 weeks is good. Anytime before 30 weeks is best I think. Like you said - before you are too big and uncomfortable.

the other girls. Definitely between 25-30 weeks would be good. My baby shower was planned for 32w4d and the girls were born the day before. So now, we're having a Meet -n- Greet at the end of August.

I agree with the previous posters' opinions!

My shower was at 35 weeks! I was only expecting 1 though!!
I think that you could do it whenever you are most comfortable doing it!!
Congrats~~

Mine was at 33 weeks due to Christmas being during that time frame. I wish I would have had it earlier because I was so tired and my legs were soooo swollen at the shower!!
