Op here: why? Every shower I’ve been to, has been hosted by the persons mom. My best friend had her shower last summer and it was hosted by her mom and sister and held at her moms house. My other friends was also hosted by her mom and sister and hosted at her sisters house.

I’m confused as to who is supposed to host it? My sister is 20 so she’s certainly not hosting it. Seems odd you think someone’s mom shouldn’t host it but ok.

While I don’t care if moms host showers this post is pretty cringe. YOU were supposed to host your “best friend”’s shower!!

Op here: yeah, nope sorry. Her mom and sister took over from the very beginning. I offered to help and they both told me “nope, we’ve got it!”. You aren’t going to make me feel bad.

Nothing wrong with mom's mom hosting. She probably has a bigger house. Busy bodies need to get a life. Do the earlier date so you have time to buy the stuff you didn't get.

Op here: I truly don’t care. We tried for this baby for over 3 years and had multiple losses. I am so happy to be at a point where I am thinking about my baby shower. Anyone who thinks it’s a gift grab, can gladly not come. However, the 28 people on my list will 100% all be happy to support me as they know what we went through.

Then they’d send you a present without having to come and sit and watch you open gifts. Also, I wouldn’t be doing this at all with Covid right before giving birth, in general.

OP here: give me a break. I’m inviting 28 people and it’ll be outside. But even if not, I’d still plan on having it. We are 2 years into Covid, it’s not going anywhere. People are having 100+‘people weddings now and you want to say I shouldn’t have a small shower? Hahah ok

Yeah, no, not right before giving birth, they’re not unless they’re dense AF. Have you actually talked to your OB about this? Good lord.

This thread is just embarrassing with all these ridiculous etiquette comments.

Earlier the better! Mine was at 37 weeks so everyone could see me “super pregnant”. I was just tired, it was summer and I didn’t enjoy it as much as I would of at 30 weeks

Op here: sure have! I’m vaccinated AND had Covid in September before getting pregnant. He was 100% fine with me having a shower. Again, I went to two last summer and am going to one next month and one end of April. You REALLY think people aren’t having showers? You’re funny.

Well, I got Covid last year while pregnant from a shower with 15 people despite being vaccinated and it was awful and I was hospitalized, but you sound very in the know about absolutely everything, so I’m not sure why you even asked.

Earlier the better. Mine was at 34 weeks and it was ok but I was starting to feel pretty uncomfortable and would’ve preferred to have had the shower earlier.

DP but just curious. Was the one you got Covid at an outdoor shower? Had you also actually had Covid before? Had you been boostered? All important factors. Regardless, sorry for your experience.

Op here: are you dim? I asked about which week was better to have it, not IF I should have one. I’ll trust my OB over some dcurbanmom troll.

Outdoor but it rained so we went in. Was vaccinated, boosters not yet widely available last October. Hadn’t had it before.

No, it is actually embarrassing to ask for presents in an impolite way.

I delivered at 32 weeks.

Also, most people around the world do not celebrate the baby's arrival until it's arrived. It seems like tempting fate to do that. I know you don't want to hear such things, so I apologize, but if the shower event ends up not happening, hopefully it will provide some comfort to know that most women on earth would actually recoil from having one
