Should you have a baby shower with your second child?

It would be better to have a party to celebrate the baby and yourself as a mother. Just tell them not to bring gifts!

Proper baby shower educate says that for the second child it is proper to have a baby shower if your having multiples, a different gender of baby or the years between the two children are at least two years of more where the stuff you have is worn or outdated. I hope that helps. Also if your not wanting a baby shower to either just having a celebration no gifts party or outing or having a diaper party where gifts are not brought but diapers in all sizes are brought. no matter how much stuff or how many outfits you have you can never have enough diapers. My friend did this and she had a years worth of diapers ok so it was more like 6 months worth but it helped.

Well i mean its up to you of course. But i dont see the harm in having another baby shower. Even if you dont want to have another baby shower, what about a diaper party? That way you will get a lot of diapers which you can never have enough of. But you dont know the sex of your baby right now and what if its a different gender than your first and you have NO clothes that would go with the gender. I think you should just let your friends or family through you a baby shower. I dont see the harm but if you dont want to then thats fine too.

I was unsure about having a baby shower this time too. But everybody`s wanting to give me one, I viewed it as begging for gifts. This is also my second pregnancy, but i found out i was having twins so im having one because i dont plan on having any more after this. I also brought alot of stuff before the shower and ended up not using half of it. So this time im not getting anything till after the shower. But if you just want to buy everything yourself dont have one.

most people find it rude to have a baby shower if you already have one child and had a shower for that one unless it is a different gender then that would only be acceptable to have another shower. you can always wait until the baby is born and then after a couple weeks you can just have a party and if you need anything extra then people could get them for you.

With my second I didn`t have a baby shower. We waited until after he was born and had a meet the baby party. Or you could make it a diaper party and have everyone bring a pack of diapers. If they really want to throw you a shower, suggest calling it a sprinkle and tell them no gifts.

If you don't want "stuff" but it would be nice to have a party, maybe just have a party? If you wanted, you could ask for donations for a favourite charity. Maybe your local NICU or another baby charity?

I'm from the UK and never even heard of baby showers until long after I'd had my kids. Life certainly doesn't end if you don't have one :)

You could do something simple like a basic necessity shower. Just register for diapers and formula and stuff that you know you'll have to buy again. I would say also to keep the registry to one general place like Wal-Mart or Target.

I think it would be fun to have a baby shower, you don't have to get gifts you could request not to. You could play baby games, and enjoy your time without receiving hundreds of presents.

For sure you should have an other baby shower, each pregnancy should be as exiting as the first :)
