OMG im due next month and i wanted a bbyshower this month but my mom and fiancee mom wants to throw me one after bby is born which i think is very backwards. Whats the point of having a bbyshower after bby born doesnt make sence, do anyone else agree??

Bad bad bad idea. It's your baby tell them no or through your own. It's flu season, rsv season, and gems are every where. I don't know a single pediatrician that would tell you i it's a good idea to bring your new born around a big crowed. Think of the safety of your child..

Its not a baby shower then its a welcoming party which is fun everybody gets to see your bundle and u get gifts my sis did it I liked it better but if its not what u want just tell them no cause u have final say. We BBQ and still had a lot of fun

In some countries, it is considered bad luck to give presents for the baby before the baby is born, in Italy for example it would be considered extremely likely to jinx the outcome of the pregnancy.  

Don't throw yourself a shower, it makes people think you are greedy.  Take what people will give and be gracious, and if that means you have to put up with two women who care about you, giving you a shower when they think it should be given and not when you think it should be given, suck it up and be thankful anyone cared enough to have a shower for you at all.  If you can subtly hint any girlfriend into offering to host a shower earlier just so you can get a play yard and crib or some diapers and onesies, all the better.  But try not to be too mad.  There are girls on this site who never got a shower.

Im sorry i wont agree...coz in this matter everything is done at once, the visit to see d baby and present! while if u do it before everything is repeated coz people will come and visit d bby even after bby shower..... at d end they want to  welcome d bby. when it comes to germ, bby will anyway be exposed to at some point.on the other hand ill say in having bby shower can be useful for organisation.butni understand that peoplenwould like to give present when dnbaby is born....innsaying that i had to.do it for my family in law, to make them happy....and it was ok.

Throw your own shower now, then have one after baby comes. That way you'll get some stuff now and some after.

I have always thought a baby shower after the fact doesn't help much. Baby showers are suppose to help with some things like clothes and tub. But if you have a shower after wards you have to buy everything. And the germs for the baby.. I would ask them to reconsider

I think it's a bad idea because then everyone wants to touch & hold the baby. THE GERMS!!
