My daughter is almost 3 and I'm pregnant with our 2nd child. I read somewhere that everyone of your children should be celebrated and not just the 1st one. The 2nd shower would be more like a party to celebrate your new baby and not so much of a full-blown shower. Any advice?

Have the normal baby shower for your unborn baby..I don't know if you have a photo album of your 1st baby shower?Wouldn't you like to have one for your 2ND child to.Being pregnant is not an everyday thing..right?Do a baby shower..Not a party..The party comes when they turn one.

I personally think that having a 2nd baby shower is fine. I am pregnant with my 2nd child and I am planning on having a baby shower. My daughter is 5 and I have no baby stuff at all! I think it's only fair to have a baby shower for both to celebrate. The 2nd baby should be celebrated just like the first

i was always told that a shower was to shower a new mom with gits and the only way to have another one is if you have a very long break between kids. Like 9 or more years and if your new baby is a different sex. Other than that a shower is tacky. I friend of mine had another baby about two years after her first one. She had a small get together at a restaurant instead of a full blown shower

I don't think it is tacky at all, I see nothing wrong with wanting to have another baby shower/get to together for the second baby. If this baby is a different sex I don't think there is anything wrong with getting some of the things you would need for a baby of the opposite sex that you already have. Minus the swing and crib and the other big things I wouldn't expect someone to get another one of those. You do what you want to do, there is nothing wrong with having a celebration for a new baby on the way. Congrats

I have 2 kids. I had baby showers when I pregnant with both children. I think it's up to whoever wanting to give you the shower really.

no - shower only for your first baby. After the baby is born, you can have friends and family over for coffee and to see the baby.

I had a small surprise gathering for my third baby,so did my friend also with her third recently..I think it's like you said, not such a big deal,but still a little celebration.

This is not generally done. Personally, if I were invited, I would decline.
It comes off as tacky.
