Congratulations!!

Most of the baby showers I have been to have been at 30 weeks. But it really comes down to what you want. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I'm sure someone will offer some better advice.

I will be about 35 weeks along when I have mine. I think most people's baby showers occur during the end of the third trimester.

just so you know, *you* don't have the shower. someone throws one for you. it's extremely tacky to throw one for yourself.

I know that I don't throw the shower but I don't want to look incredibly tacky throwing one too early my sister is going to but she has never done it before and she didn't know when to do it. I was so lost when she asked me so I came on here. not too much support from my mom so I couldn't ask her. toodles

mine was at 31 weeks.. you have it usually in the third trimester. I liked having mine a little earlier because it was before i was huge and uncomfortable

i wasn't showing a bit (i actually didn't show until 35 weeks and i never got big). people were like, "this is a baby shower, isn't it?" and "i thought you were pregnant".
