I'm expecting our second, another girl. It hasn't been long since the first . I've had a handful of friends that are on a similar schedule to me who opted to have (low-key) baby showers for their second child. In those cases, I was close to them, and very happy to have a chance to get together and celebrate the new arrival.
Here's my question: what do you all think about showers for children beyond the first? I find that I'd sort of like to have an opportunity to gather with friends and family and celebrate the impending new life--more of a baby party than a shower. But, I'm really curious about where public opinion falls on this sort of thing these days.
Thanks for the in-put!
is it appropriate to have a second baby shower?
have any of you momma's not have a baby shower for your second pregnancy? I won't be having one and pretty upset, nobody in my family understands. I was so excited to celebrate the birth of my son with family and friends at a shower. maybe its just my emotions.
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
Snapchat? Fb? I need new mommy friends. None of my friends have kids & we've disconnected 😑 sucks at times
So idk if I’m an asshole for thinking this but a girl I used to go to school with is having her 3rd kid and she’s planning a baby shower and she had one with her other two. I feel like a baby shower is something you do with ur first pregnancy. I live far from my family so I didn’t have one but i did have a baby registry and I’m not even doing that with this pregnancy. Idk I just feel like 3 baby showers is a lot! Especially when she gets things handed to her. Idk maybe I’m an ass for thinking that
I say if you want a baby party/ shower then have one its your time to celebrate your exciting news dont worry what other people think do what makes you happy 😀 i never had one with my my 1st 2 but this time round i want one x
