When do people normally have a baby shower? Like how far along ?

It's up to you!

ill be 8 months for mine

To me, as long as you're after the point where baby will live if you give birth. Nothing worse than having a room full of baby stuff and no babies. :(

we ars having ours at 36 weeks exactly

I was 7 months

Ok good lol so there's no set guidelines !

I was 37 weeks

I had one at 27 weeks and will be having another at 35 weeks
