What would you ladies do? Shower related-Added Question

So, last night my mom and my sister called me because they wanted to know if they should change the date of my shower. I am currently due on 5/3/07 and they have scheduled the shower for 4/14/07. But at my last appointment, my doctor told me she is going to induce me at 37 weeks (4/12/07 if she is being literal) because of my polyp situation.

My mom and sister wanted to know if they should change the shower? I told them as of now not to because my assistant is out of the office until the 15th and she took her vacation while I would still be working so I was going to ask my doctor to move the induction to 38 weeks.

So, what would you ladies do?

ETA: What if I am not getting induced and my due date was still 5/3, do you still think it is too late to have the shower? I'd still be going out of work on 4/16 or so.

I would change the shower date.

I would want to have all the gifts home, assembled etc and have time to get ready. I think thats pushing it too close. And what if the Dr says no?

Re: What would you ladies do? Shower related

i think I would change the shower too if it isn't too much of a bother. It is early enough that they can get the word out. And I agree with Donna, I would want to get everything set up beforehand. And have time to purchase items you didn't get...

Re: What would you ladies do? Shower related

I would change the date as well...you want to have time to organize all the stuff before the baby is here..we had my shower 1.5 months before I was due and it gave me plenty of time to assemble and organize everything...I would hate to have to do all that on top of having a newborn to care for.

Re: What would you ladies do? Shower related

I vote to change the shower. I think it might also put your mom and sister at ease if they have an earlier date so that it isn't too hard on you.

Re: What would you ladies do? Shower related

I would change the shower.

Re: What would you ladies do? Shower related

Definitely change the date. You are cutting it way too close.

Re: What would you ladies do? Shower related

I agree with the other girls. Even if they change the induction a week later, that's not enough time.

Re: What would you ladies do? Shower related

change it, give yourself a chance to get organized and return and exchange and wash some stuff before the baby comes.

Re: What would you ladies do? Shower related

I would definitely change the shower date if its not too much of a hassle. Definitely to give myself a little more time.

Bump with added question.

Re: What would you ladies do? Shower related-Added Question

I would change it. Probably to mid march so you have time to set everything up.

Re: What would you ladies do? Shower related-Added Question

I would def. change the shower. You want to have plenty of time to organize and get everything ready before your little one arrives. I am having mine at 31 weeks.

Re: What would you ladies do? Shower related-Added Question

yeah I still think its too late..

for me anyway.

Re: What would you ladies do? Shower related-Added Question

I think changing the date might be best - I would think invites haven't gone out yet right?


although - my friend was 9 weeks early and they ended up having the shower after the birth (the baby was still in the hospital)
