If someone wants to throw one for you, for example your fiances mother or sister, then by all means have one. Do not throw one yourself or ask someone to give you one.

I would go ahead with the shower. Anyone against it will not come. Don't worry about what others think because there will always be people who will say something negative about anything you do. A baby shower is a celebration for a new life that is on the way. So what if this is not your first born. If someone has already volunteered to host your shower, it can't be all that bad of an idea. Good luck and remember having a child is a blessing so don't be ashamed to celebrate and allow those who want shower you with gifts.

There are different things you can do for a second shower. If you already have the big purchases, you can do an essentials or dress the baby party. Diapers, clothes(especially if it is a different sex), etc. I think that the old school of thinking is you shouldn't do it the second time, but in this day and age, with new things coming out, second showers are okay, especially to younger generations. This is a time to celebrate life! Say that to the naysayers!

Excuse me - 1 baby = 1 baby shower, new baby = new shower. Who dreamed up the one baby shower per family? Is it supposed to be like virginity? Especially when you have this long an interval between them, you have not kept the stuff from the first one - hopefully you gave it to someone who needed it or sold it.
Maybe this is why second borns come off second best - they don't even get a baby shower?

I was reading the new trend is for a "Baby Sprinkle" for a second or third child. You don't necessarily have to have gifts if you are uncomfortable with it. It can just be a nice way to celebrate the coming of another baby. Definitely don't throw it yourself though- let a friend or one of your fiance's family members head up this one.

I say it is fine if a friend or a family member want to throw you another baby shower,it 's not like toy know what you are having and can use the same stuff. Congrats!

I know, what makes it not "allowed". Will you be kicked out of the "good etiquette persons club" if you have a baby shower. I know, sometimes I just think it is ridiculous.
When was it ever wrong to celebrate the life of another child?
Just be cool and classy about it. Don't throw one yourself.
I think it's just fine.

You are allowed to have a baby shower when ever for what ever. If it helps don't call it a shower call it a "Welcoming party" I had that for my 1st child only because the baby came before the shower to I had to celebrate afterwards.

I think the birth of a baby is cause for celebration...no matter what order they are in.
I was inpatient with a preemie son for my first baby shower, my Husband got to take my place. 4 years later with my daughter I was able to attend my own this time.
