Want to have a diaper party with all of our friends on my husbands side. But wanting opinions before I start planning!

We live in Minnesota and are due with our first baby in March. We just bought a new house which we get to move into in September.

1. We would love to host it as a house warming/ diaper party. Is it tacky to do them together?

2. If not, is it tacky to do it in October or November (far before baby is due) so that we can host it indoor/ outdoor? It gets far too cold after that time of the year for outdoor to be an option. We have a nice yard and would like to allow the option for people to social distance and it would be a lot of people to fit inside and they get kind of wild. (Also justifying to myself that everyone is very busy around the holidays when the traditional rule of 2 month ahead of time is the appropriate time to host it)

3. Is it tacky that I am planning it? Should I just leave it to someone else to offer? (If so we will probably not do anything with his friends as my MILs family will probably plan something family only and my friends will plan something for our girl friend group only)

Honest opinion: I think having a diaper party before being 6 months pregnant would be odd, especially hosting it for yourself.

Totally get why you’d like to combine a house warming party with celebrating your pregnancy to include his friends but truth is, if they want to celebrate the baby they will find a way with or without a party

I personally think if you want to have a party then have the party! Both events are exciting and worth celebrating! Congratulations on both fronts 🎉

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
