When is ideal to have a baby shower?

Is 34 weeks considered really late in pregnancy to have a baby shower?
I’ve just seen some people are having baby showers way before 30 weeks and wondered if I’m leaving it too late.

I thought they were usually like a week or two weeks before your due date xx

nooo that’s too late! They say 4-6 weeks before baby’s due to be more safe they don’t arrive

Fried rice noodles 🍜

The first craving my Asian ancestors in my body is asking for during my first trimester.😎
I went from no appetite to have three bowls of them straight 😂
I feel pretty healthy too as I added in lots of bean sprouts, carrots cabbage, onion and broccoli for veggies; eggs, tofu and beef meatballs for protein.
Ahhh I am just so happy 😀

Anyone else think the worst piece of advice for a first time mum is ‘you’ll be able to tell when you are in labour’!

Looking back I was in early labour for over a week, and while my hospital records say my labour was 1hr 14 mins it was actually closer to 10 hours. But I didn’t actually realise I was in labour ‘cause there would be no doubt about it’ so I only just made it to the hospital really!

It doesn’t help that I also mistook ‘regular contractions’ to mean they must be coming at regular intervals eg 1 min on 4 mins off, not like mine which were more like 1 min on 5 mins off 40s on 3 mins off ect.

Baby Movement

I’m 19w2d and am super anxious to feel baby move. I’m a plus size girlie and read it can take a little longer for us to feel movement. When did you all feel your baby move for the first time?!!

Is it safe to have sex after losing mucus plug?

We were planning on having sex tonight to try and get labour moving, but I've just lost quite a large amount of my mucus plug and maybe had a bloody show although I'm not entirely sure, it wasn't much blood.

Is it generally safe to have unprotected sex or is there a risk of infection?
