I have no problem with a shower for every baby, but I think it`s more needful if there`s been quite a gap between kids where you don`t have the baby stuff anymore or if the first was one sex and you know the next will be the other sex.

anyone wants to throw me a shower? I`m almost going to throw one for myself :( sucks living away from family and friends!

I had multiple showers for baby #1 & #2 and will probably have the same for baby #3. I think having a baby is a reason to celebrate & if people want to have a shower for you, you should accept! :) CELEBRATE LIFE ALWAYS!!

i think it`s becoming more commonplace...especially if there`s a significant difference in age or if you`re having a baby that`s the opposite gender of what you had the first time. Good luck & Congrats!

Good question, I just found out I am pregnant and was wondering the same thing. My daughter is only 7 months, so I wasn`t planning a 2nd, but if someone wants to throw me one, I won`t object. I have a feeling it`s gonna be a boy...so if it is, we`re going to have a `boy shower` Where people bring boy clothes and stuff that my daughter wouldn`t be able to pass down.

I don`t think the age difference between your children matters at all. You could have given birth to a boy a year ago, and now having a girl. All the boy stuff won`t necessarily work for a girl. A baby shower is a celebration of a new life.

I had a shower with my first not the second. I am hoping this time someone throws another, we didn`t plan for any more (mine are 7+4) and last summer we gave almost everything to charity. I have a lot of baby clothes since I kept them for my kids to see when they are bigger. As for the rest all we have left is the crib. I have every intention of buying what we need for this baby but it would be so nice to have a shower and be helped out with the big stuff.

I think each baby should be celebrated, no matter if it`s the 1st or the 4th

I`m prego with my 3rd and all my kids are about 3 1/2 yrs apart and I`ve had a baby shower every time. I don`t think there is anything wrong with it. My family and friends were all excited to shower me and my children with gifts. Though I did not ask for someone to have a shower for me they just wanted to. Good luck to you!

I agree with the first two comments. It does depend on how old ur first one is. My daughter will be ten when i have the second baby so i am going to have a baby shower. Because styles and safty changes have been made and plus I have donated all my baby stuff to needy family because i thought i was done having children.

I agree with the previous comment. My daughter will be 3 1/2 when #2 arrives. I have everything I need from when she was a baby (except clothes). I can`t imagine asking for or expecting a shower.

depends on how old your first is. I wouldnt have one if my first was 1-5 years old, but after that age its not that bad to have a small shower. I wouldnt go crazy with a blow out one though. good luck
