“When is the right time to have a baby shower? After losing my little boy at 26 weeks and five days, I’m just wondering when I should have my baby shower?

Advice Summary
The community offered this mom in need a lot of great advice about the right time to throw a baby shower. Read some of their responses below.
“My sister is due in about 2 weeks and just had her shower last weekend. I ended up waiting to have my shower till after my little was born.”
“I had mine right at 35 weeks.”
“Don’t worry about that right now, consider having a welcome home baby party instead. You dont need the added stress. Take care!”
“About a month before the due date.”
“I did mine the first week of June and I was due at the end of August. We did ours so early because summers are super busy in my family and we just keep backing up until we found a good date.”
“I had mine 9 days before I delivered due to preeclampsia as well. Little did we know she would be here at 34 weeks. We planned ours in advance for around 33 weeks thinking I’d have plenty of time in between. I would say around 28-30 weeks to be safe if you suspect you’ll have preeclampsia again.”
“If you want a baby shower do it between 30 and 35 weeks. Or you can have a welcome home baby party at 1-2 months old! Giving yourself time to heal and to get comfortable and bond with baby!”

This is the most wonderful thing i have ever experienced. I visited here online on the 22 of MARCH and i saw a marvelous testimony of a woman from United States on the forum about the good works DR BAKABA I never believed it, because have never heard anything about such miracle before. No body would have been able to convince me about it not until DR.BAKABA did a marvelous work for me that restored my marriage of 4 years by getting back my husband back i just as i read on the internet I was truly shocked when my husband knelt down pleading for forgiveness to accept him back. I am really short of words to use to show my appreciation to DR.BAKABA For his a God sent to me and my entire family for divine restoration of my marriage. Contact him now for any kind of help via Email; bakabaspelltemple@gmail.com or you add him on whatsApp number +2347063836098 or call HIM, THANKS DR BAKABA i will always tell the world how you bring my family back
