Have a baby shower girl every baby is a blessing why not celebrate it ! Even if it’s 5 baby’s later and you have a baby shower for everyone of them who cares why does it matter to some people like this is what’s wrong with the world ya know caring about the dumbest of things oh she wants another baby shower like Karen there’s people dying of hunger worry about that not about someone throwing a second baby shower

People will understand, especially with the loss of a child… Celebrate this baby!! Have a shower!! If others don’t like it then don’t include them!!:heart::heart:Happy Rainbow baby!!

And of course you purged that is exactly what a mom does when she has lost a child.

Have it ! How else are you going to get what you need?

I’ve had 3 kids and a baby shower for each. It doesn’t matter what they think. It’s not their baby. Plus babies are expensive and i think it’s great your parents want to celebrate yall. You went through something horrible and it’s okay to celebrate your new baby. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.

I did. The 1st one after baby was born, which was good cause he was 9 pounds and the infant clothes would not have fit. And 2nd baby shower I was in labor . The baby was a month and a half to soon thats why , but I hung in there the hole time .:grin:. DO IT and ENJOY.:heart:

Usually when you have a second baby shower they call it a Sprinkle, if you’re having a different gender than what you had the first time or there’s many years between the two I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. :heart:

Take it from somebody that’s never had one with any of her 4 children do it because you deserve it I was promised up and down with my first son My second son by the time my third son got here I was like no because I was tired of being lied to now with my daughter I don’t want one even because I doubt no one will show Even though I’ve never had a baby shower for any of my children

Fuck the in laws its not their child or their choice. Do you lil momma

In my eyes it’s okay to have a baby shower for each pregnancy! You are celebrating that baby

I had a babyshower for each 4 of my kids. Every child should be celebrated.

All babies should be celebrated

Every little gift counts no matter how big or small bottles dummies clothes steriliser nappy bin if anyone uses them still I never just double bag the soil nappies out to the bin

New baby…new shower. I am a strong believer in having a shower after the baby is born though. I feel this because we lost a child and having to remove all the stuff we got and bought for him was devastating!!! But yes, baby shower for every child. Doesn’t matter how many you have.

I honestly think all babies deserve a shower to be celebrated even if it’s someone’s 10th kid. It’s very common now to have a shower for each baby not just the first.

Have that shower and celebrate this baby and all the love and joy. You both deserve to have this moment as something special.

If you had a child of same gender and were just re using same items, a sprinkle is fine. Those usually are like gift cards, diapers and small gifts. But considering you have no items, I think everyone would be happy to celebrate with you in the joy of a new lil one. I would do it since you def need to celebrate this baby! Many people choose to wait til baby is born so everyone can see it. That might quell a few who think you shouldn’t need one, who can say pooh when they see the lil sweetie

Do it!! I just had my baby shower for my 2nd child over the weekend. My oldest is 5 y/o and we donated most of her baby stuff so a shower was in order :woman_shrugging:t5:

Do it! It’s a totally different baby this should be celebrated

I think you should have one. I only consider it a sprinkle if you still have everything and can use it. I learned with mine that the older generation doesn’t understand going all out for celebrations anymore. I’m very sorry for your loss but you all definitely deserve to celebrate this baby and yourself and have a shower :heart:

My cousin has 3 girls and 1 boys and she had a full blown shower with each child. I have 2 boys and 1 girl. I had 1 shower for my oldest, a diaper party for my youngest son. And a shower for my daughter. But it’s entirely up to you. Celebrate your baby the way you want, don’t base what you do with your life on others opinions. You are alive to make yourself happy not others

I had a shower for all 4 of my babies.

I had 2u2 and same gender so with the second I didn’t do one. But I am currently pregnant and my girls are 7 and almost 6. We are having another shower because of the large gap in ages we don’t have any baby stuff. Each baby deserves to be celebrated! You’ve lost so much already. I say do the shower and do it big!

I had showers for all my kids. I never threw one my family always did. And if someone thought it was tacky they never told me :confused:

You have all the right to have another baby shower and everyone should support what you two decide. I feel strongly you should, you guys deserve it with what you’ve been through and with having nothing left, it is definitely a go on my feelings.

A baby shower is not a party for the parents. A baby shower is to celebrate the new life you are bringing into the world. The term “baby shower” is nothing more than a vessel for the celebration and no matter what you call it, it’s the same thing. So have the shower, have the sprinkle, have the party, have the celebration. Every single baby brought into this world, whether it’s the first one or the tenth one deserves to be celebrated and if they don’t want to attend, let them be the fuddy duddies they are.

Do the shower. Every brand new baby deserves their own celebration … just like birthdays. Especially under these circumstances. People think it would be different if you had several children and tons of old baby clothes, etc., but you still need new items for a new baby, even if you have tons of stuff from previous children. So many baby items have “expiration dates” on usage … and people don’t even realize it.

Congratulations, by the way! Have the shower … enjoy yourself!

Having a baby shower is the way your friends can join in the joy of a new life. Please don’t pay attention to those who disagree with you, they obviously don’t understand your situation. The fact that you tragically lost your first baby and no longer have those things you’ll need is a way your friends can help you to heal and start fresh. It’s done with love and loyalty. Congratulations, enjoy and I wish you the very best.

I never understood why you wouldn’t celebrate each child. If you need things great opportunity. If you don’t need help still a fun way to get together and celebrate the new baby. I was thrown a shower for my daughter then 8 years later didn’t get one for my son despite how helpful a baby shower would have been with him.

As a mother who also lost a baby it’s not tacky. I had my oldest daughter and we thought oh we won’t need any of this for awhile so we gave it away. I later found myself pregnant with my second daughter 3yrs later so my family threw me a baby shower again. They did it bc I needed things since we had gotten rid of a lot of stuff. We later decided we will hang onto stuff just in case. I had my third daughter 21 months to the exact day after my 2nd daughter. I was given a new car seat and a few other things for her bc I was in need of a second set since they were 21 months apart. Problem is I never got to leave the hospital with her. So I got rid of a lot of stuff again except for the new car seat an couple odds and ends. Fast forward to 2 1/2 yrs later and I found out I was pregnant with daughter #4. Yeah shocker to me. I was 4 going on 5 months into it by that point. I ended up giving birth at 30weeks so she was in the nicu for two an a half months. When we got news that we could bring her home my family prepared a little party to gift us things for the baby an new house. So I’ve had at least 3 baby showers per se but after the first baby you have a sprinkle for the next baby so another shower isn’t unusual. If your in laws are so old school don’t worry about them just let your family do for you and help you out. Your in laws will either come around or they’ll just miss out.

First I am so sorry for your loss! Second it is not tacky at all! I had a baby shower with all 4 and will have one with my current pregnancy as well! It’s a party to celebrate your baby! It’s also a fun time to have friends and family play games together and just unwind a bit before the baby is born! Good luck and I hope you have a safe and healthy delivery!

Shop for stuff on fb marketplace. You’ll save hundreds. Cribs for $50 or less. Don’t expect everyone to be thrilled to spend more money, inflation has hit pretty hard without a lot of pay increases to make up for it… except entry level jobs… ugh.

Sprinkle it up.

While I didn’t want another baby shower for my second son (they’re are only 21 months apart and we already had everything still), I might’ve if we had a girl.

In saying that, you do you do. If you want another baby shower, have one.
You are allowed to celebrate your new rainbow baby.

Also, I am very sorry for your loss. There is nothing harder then losing your child, even more so one that was so young :two_hearts::two_hearts::two_hearts:

Every culture is different, in my family a woman could have several children but she’s getting a baby shower everytime because it is a new baby, and it is the one being showered with gifts not the parents. Everyone is different though so I’d say do what feels right for you and the in laws don’t have to attend. :woman_shrugging:

Have a baby shower <3

No if more then one person wants to throw one for you thrn why not. More stuff you can check off your baby list.

I was taught that one shower, but if your having another baby of opposite sex then another shower is good.

Every baby deserves to b spoiled Good luck :heart:

It’s called whatever u want to call it. In my family we have baby showers for every pregnancy. It’s about celebrating your little one coming. If they don’t want to be apart of it then they don’t have too. Invite friends/coworkers. And yes Facebook marketplace can help save a lot, even thrift stores. Sorry for your loss​:heart: You deserve a baby shower. Anyone who wants one does. Sure you don’t always get the same amount of gifts or whatever as your first but any little thing to help or even just getting together with good food and company to celebrate your soon to arrive baby is what I feel it’s all about anyways. I just had my third baby shower :blush:

Do it up girl… every baby should have celebration. And sorry for your loss.

With mine I had one for my first 2009 baby… didn’t have one for my second in 2011 (every one said the same thing in my circle and both were girls. I kept almost everything they are 23 months apart. I didn’t keep much besides clothing and what not)… And then I had one for my 2019 baby (done by a friend. First for my current boyfriend. Had gotten a divorce from my oldest two kids dad again a girl) swear I was done I was 30… did not have one my 4th… a girl.

They can pfuck allllllll the way off. You need to celebrate every single moment of this baby!

Have a shower, your circle will understand and they will be happy with you and for you

Why don’t you have a Welcome to the Baby (insert name) when he/she is about 6 weeks old and you have recovered from the birth? Surely your friends and family will give you baby gifts on the arrival in any case. You would still need to purchase the essentials prior to bub coming home from hospital.

Every baby should be celebrated! Do it. Who cares what anyone thinks? It’s your baby and they don’t have to come to the shower :woman_shrugging:t5: I’m sorry you lost your previous child, I know how horrific that is but congrats on this baby and good luck with everything! :heart:

It’s perfectly ok to have another baby shower. Best of luck to you both.

As a woman who lost my daughter, absolutely have one! Celebrate everything about this new blessing :heart:
