How to politely refuse a baby shower?
This is my third and last baby. I had a shower with my first. Now that I have told people this is our last child they are getting all into the idea of throwing me a final shower of sorts, but really I have almost everything I need and while I appreciate the thought, I would prefer they not. These are some girl friends and a SIL who refuse to take no for an answer. Any help?

Pick one of the gfs and tell her that you do not want a shower, but a party before the baby is born (with no gifts) would be just fine. Insist on the NO GIFTS aspect.

You should politely drop them a email or a letter and say something like,"I really appreciate the thought,but i do not require anything at this time.People have given me soo many things,my house is bursting at the seams.If you wish,you can give from your heart to someone that really need's these items,there are soo many ladies in the community that are in need.I'm truly grateful to be blessed with such great friends as you!! :)"
That should get the message across,and if it don't,go ahead and call them and tell them your feeling bloated,and not up to a baby shower.

Ask them to make it a diaper shower. You will need plenty of diapers and wipes. It is always appropriate for second or third children. Also, if you get too many diapers, most stores will let you exchange them for store credit.
Or ask for a pamper party. Some salons offer in home services so you can get your hair and nails done at home with your friends. It will be a while before you would have a chance to be pampered and what pregnant woman couldn't use a good foot massage and facial?
