Yes. I don't think it's anything wrong at all. I think you are a very considerate and caring person to even ask this question. A baby shower is a celebration. I think she will be okay with that.
It won't hurt to give her a gift..especially if she is going to be having a baby shower of her own.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with inviting her. In fact, she may be disappointed if she doesn't get invited. And no, you don't need to get her a gift. She will likely have her own baby shower and if you are invited you can gift her then. She may be embarrassed by the extra attention you would draw to her by giving her a gift at your shower and she may feel like you are patronizing her.

Yeah. I don't really understand the problem. Is she not getting a shower? Then it might be a nice idea if you include her in the festivities. But, if she's going to get a shower, too, just invite her. There's not need to give her a gift if that's the case because you'll probably be invited to her shower.

Is she a friend or family member? Definitely. You wouldn't want to be left out of her shower if she was a friend or family member. Go ahead and invite her. You could get her a little gift, too. It wouldn't hurt. You could also include her in some of the shower games, like the toilet-paper-around-the-belly game by making the guests guess which belly is bigger!

Sure. I'm 38 weeks pregnant, and I have been invited to 2 baby showers for women that are due very close to my own due date. I had fun in both of their baby showers... I also invited them to mine, and seems like in the 3 different occasion we all had a great time! Share the fun... and Congrats! Love your baby shower

Of course you can. If you want to give her a gift that is up to you but you are not required. After all it is your shower and not hers. If you had a birthday party for say your child and you invited another child whose birthday was around the same time you wouldn't feel obligated to give them a gift.

Why not? If she's your friend and you don't invite her, she'd feel left out. That's very thoughtful of you to get her a little something, but if she's having a shower, maybe you should just wait until then to give it to her. I've been to showers where there were other pregnant women invited, but the focus was always on the one the shower was for.
Best wishes and congrats on your new upcoming arrival!

I would defiantly invite them to the baby shower, and yes I would give her a gift too!

yes you should invite her.no you should not give her a gift. she will have her own shower.now if she is a very good friend then it would be a nice thing to do but if she was invited to your shower then you will probably be invited to her shower and you will be expected to bring a gift then too

Oh yes you can invite. Sometimes those are the cutest. She should and hopefully will know that she is there for your day. She will have her day. You do not owe her a gift at your shower. wait for her shower.
