Do most ppl do baby showers a month before due or longer than that?

I had mine Saturday, I was 31+6 lol. I thought it was a perfect time, early enough in pregnancy that I was a little tired but still had fun and didn't feel huge lol. Now I also have time to get her little things we didn't receive :)

I'm having mine may 11th and I will be 38+2. Really wish I wouldn't have waited so long.. I think around 30-35 wks is perfect. Luckily I have everything we need. its mostly just for our families to meet before the delivery

Usually its 2-3 months before your due but there are no set in stone rules you can have it whenever you want its good not to do it the last month so that you have everything you need ready to go incase you go into labor

I had mine at 33 weeks and it was perfect. I wouldn't wait longer than that if I were you. Unpacking everything and shopping for the things I still needed would have been tough. I was working full time though so it took me two weekends to get through everything then another weekend to buy the rest of the things.

I had mine this past saturday! i was exactly 30 weeks. I wanted to have mine a little early because i am put on high risk for pre term labor and i wanted to be sure i still had enough time to get the extras that i didn't get from my shower!

I've just had a scare and had labour stopped at 26 weeks, but I was always having my shower at 30 weeks just to be safe.. Glad I planned it for then !! You never know what pregnancy may bring xx so whenever you feel comfortable, 20 weeks, 36 weeks, doesn't really make a difference as long as it suits your individual needs.

My moms having one for me this sunday...im 30 weeks...and on june 9th my great aunt is having one for me for my dads side of the family (my parents are seperated). Ill be about 36 weeks then. As long as you have enough time to go through everything amd figure out what you have amd what you will need to get I don't think a month or 2 really matters.
