I had one for tristen that my SIL's organised and for this one im going to have a death by chocolate dessert afternoon/evening type thing im not fussed im no one brings presents just want to have a good time (and some yummy desserts!!)

Both of my SIL's had baby showers for their second children - i think its cool to have one if your having a different sex...

i went out to lunch with a small group of close friends and family and it was a lovely way to enjoy a day with the girls while also celebrating my pregnancy.

I have been to a 2nd baby baby shower, it really surprised me at first but then I thought, why not? The baby needs nappies and clothes just like the first one; just less one-off things like cots and fingernail clippers etc. I reckon they should be organised for all pregnancies! If someone is offering to throw you a party, go for it!]]> Tue, 15 Jul 2008 20:49:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19115&PID=440548&title=baby-showers-how-many#440548 <![CDATA[Baby showers...how many... : My mum and SIL put one on for...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19115&PID=439153&title=baby-showers-how-many#439153 Author: myfullhouse

Maybe they could take you out for lunch or something and give you their pressies then if they want to make a big event of it?

I didn't have a shower with Caitlin (didn't really think about it to be honest) and would feel weird having one for #2 as I still have most of the stuff I would need.]]> Mon, 14 Jul 2008 12:17:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19115&PID=439049&title=baby-showers-how-many#439049 <![CDATA[Baby showers...how many... : I have never had one, most of...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19115&PID=439032&title=baby-showers-how-many#439032 Author: kezplanet

I have never had one, most of my close friends were in Aust, moved back here at 12wks preg

But I did just to a Tupperware baby shower for  a friend of a friend & it was her 3rd child, I cant see anything wrong with it!!

I wouldn't organise one for a second child myself, but if your friends/family would organise it for you, it wouldn't come off as being rude.

I have heard of women having 'nappy showers' where gifts of nappies are received. I think that's because you probably have most of the essential items for a baby from your first child. So you could have something like that? Or hope that your friends organise something for you ]]> Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:58:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19115&PID=439017&title=baby-showers-how-many#439017 <![CDATA[Baby showers...how many... : I had one for both kids but the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19115&PID=438993&title=baby-showers-how-many#438993 Author: Rachael21
