How soon before your due date should you have your baby shower? I'm due July 10th, and was thinking of waiting until the school year ends but that's only about a month before. Should I go earlier?

Most opt for 32-36 weeks pregnant

You never know what’ll happen with your body/baby so IMO it doesn’t matter :) I’m due July 24 and my shower will be in May!

I was 34 1/2 weeks

I wanted to have mine earlier than the norm so I had more time to get everything done before having my son so I opted for 28 weeks

I did mine at 34 weeks. 32 weeks was Xmas weekend and 33 weeks was new years so we kind of had to wait for 34weeks, but I would probably try to aim for around 32-34 weeks!

I had mine at about 34 weeks I think

I think 2 months before is ideal

I'm having mine at 33 weeks

I would do as the lady above mentioned, 32-36wks pregnant! I went 5wks early with one of mine and that could happen to anyone! This way you could have everything in case you go earlier!

I’m having mine two months before.

I did mine at 36 weeks
Its what ever your comfortable with and if you think you'll be okay for the whole day I struggled being so far along but everyone is different

I'm also due the 10th and my shower is going to be May 22nd.

I waited until i was 36w. Personally i wanted it as late as possible. I had it the same weekend i started my mat leave

I had a surprise (socially distanced) baby shower in my Mum’s garden at 33 weeks, extra precaution being early in case I was unlucky enough to catch Covid and have time to recover before going to hospital. In normal times I think I would have had two/three weeks later (when hopefully pandemics are a thing of the past)! Do what you feel is best for you and fits with guests :)

I am due July 12th and having mine May 22nd

I’m due 4th July and will be having my baby shower end of April 😊

I had mine at 37 weeks and I wish I would have a little sooner. Only because I started stressing what if baby comes early ect.
