Is it tacky to have more than one bay shower?

Invite the people who want to come and those who think it’s tacky can be tastefully not asked to participate…

I hade one with all 3 of my kids! My kids are 14, 10, and 2

I had a shower 4 each one of mine, do what makes u happy

Every baby deserves to be showered with love! :heartpulse: do it & enjoy it :blush:

Go ahead have your shower.have fun God Blessyou and your baby.love sent to you and your husband.

I had a shower for all 3 of my pregnancies

Please do a shower for yourself.

I’m my opinion, NO. Every baby deserves a party to be celebrated if that’s what you choose to do. That’s basically all a baby shower is.

I understand having a “sprinkle” (usually like a diaper shower) for any babies after the first but I think considering what you have been through, you should most definitely have a shower for this new life. Let your family go all out if they choose to.

It’s not tacky at All!! My Heart goes out to You for the great Loss of Your Baby

So sorry for your loss. I think since you got rid of everything you should have a shower, if your in laws choose not to come or to not buy a gift , than that is their choice.

Enjoy the shower and be surrounded by those who want to shower this new pregnancy with everything and more. It’s okay if they think it’s tacky - that’s their perspective and they’re allowed to have it. They will likely have opinions until their final days - you don’t have to agree with them. Congratulations and praying for all things healthy for you and your family :heartpulse:

A baby shower is to celebrate the new baby. So yes, have another one. It had changed over the years. People tend to have one for every child. If there is something you need, put it on the registry. If you have it already, don’t. It’s they think it’s tacky, either come and bring something or don’t since it is aCelebration… Or just don’t come. Celebrate your child and don’t worry what others think!

I had 3 baby showers, one for each baby. It’s a celebration of baby to come. It’s definitely not tacky and especially given your specific circumstances. I’d have another one - if people don’t want to come they don’t have to - those who love you will still want to attend xx :kissing_heart:

Your in-laws come from an older gen who did things differently. If people don’t wanna come then they won’t. I’m so sorry for the loss you went through and I think it is horrible for anyone to have negative input on your future. I had a shower for my second baby because it was a different place in my life and a different gender and we had a 5 year gap between kids and lots of baby stuff changed and I had new friends and just everything was different and no one gave me issues

I had one for each child. Thats just what my family does

Have it! My mom said it was “rude” to have a second baby shower. So for my daughter I did not have one, but I still made a registry and I sent to friends and family if they wanted to get something they could but not necessary. But I wish I had one! We still had some baby stuff from our first but not much as our first was a boy and second was a girl. You deserve to have it, and to celebrate the new baby that is about to be welcomed!

Definitely :clap: YES. May God Bless you your husband and the baby.:latin_cross::pray::baby_bottle::teddy_bear:

Absolutely! I had one for both of my babies.
I actually had two baby showers for my 1st baby. My mom and aunt threw us one and my husband’s grandma decided she wanted to throw us one, too.

I’ve had a full blow baby shower with all 3 of mine… my last one was the biggest most all out one we had bc it was our last baby, our kids are all roughly 4-5 year apart.

Traditionally you have a baby shower for each child, it’s just the types of gifts change if they still have stuff from the other baby.

Do want you want to do, listen to your heart. I say go for it. There is nothing wrong with having a baby shower for every baby you have.

Awe sweetie, you need to throw a BIG A** Rainbow Baby Shower!!! And I mean big! While I can understand the “old way”, it’s just not like that anymore. And especially with the circumstances you added in your post, you damn sure deserve another baby shower!!! Please celebrate no matter what the older crowd may think!!!

Looks like you’re thinking the only reason to have a baby shower is to get gifts? When I had my second child we invited everyone over and revealed the gender of the baby and asked for no gifts. If you’re worried it will look tacky then tell everyone to bring some food over instead and just celebrate the baby

I would wait until you’re like 30 weeks pregnant at least or more

I had one for each baby I didn’t care :woman_shrugging:t3: for one my first baby was a girl I was 20 years old & did not have my :poop: together at all. My daughters dad & I broke up because of those reasons I got it together but he didn’t. When I got with my husband my daughter was 1 & we had my son when she was almost 3. I absolutely had a second baby shower. For one I was having a boy so everything was different as far as what I needed & my second pregnancy meant a lot because my life was so different so it was something to celebrate. Also my in laws all wanted to be there for his shower. Anyone who’s judging can just not come. Idc if someone has 5 kids & has one for every baby lol it’s a celebration you’re bringing another baby into the family!

Have a "sprinkle " shower…YES you are entitled to have one for this child.

Do what YOU want to do. Honestly I think it would be something special because it’s your rainbow after such a tragic passing. If anyone has an issue with it just tell them “that’s ok, you won’t need an invite” and just keep it to the people that are genuinely happy and excited for you.

I had a baby shower for 3 out of 4 of mine only reason I didn’t do the last one was coz I couldn’t walk . And I was in too much pain… (Symphisis dysfunction)

Have the baby shower. And don’t ever worry what any one else things. I’m sorry for you loss xxx

Welp… have a shower with your family then. It’s tacky to make someone feel bad about being excited over a new baby especially after a significant loss. That’s bad taste to me.

Girl absolutely celebrate that baby!! Who cares if it’s your 10th. Every little blessing brought into the world should be celebrated! Who wants to tell their kids they have no baby shower pictures like their older sibling because people thought it was"tacky" or “because your the second baby”?! Screw that. Go with your heart mama! Much love and congratulations!:heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

They call the second one a baby sprinkle, yes! Tacky, absolutely not. You lost a baby and got rid of everything. Nothing wrong with having another baby shower! Fuck your in laws.

Absolutely have one!!

Let your parents throw the shower. If people don’t want to bring a gift or attend because they already did, let them be shallow. Celebrate this new life. I’m so sorry for your loss.

First, My deepest condolences to you and your husband on the loss of your child.
As far as the baby shower… Do it. Have the shower. Your in laws or anyone else that think it’s “tacky” can choose not to come.

It’s never tacky to have more then 1 baby shower. What if you 1st is a boy and 2nd in a girl? What if you babies are years apart and you’ve passed things on to someone else? And what about your tragedy? It’s only tacky to have a baby shower every year when you’ve had kids back to back and already have everything you need. You need things for your baby and it’s expensive to get everything yourself, I know I had to do it myself. If his parents thinks it’s tacky they don’t have to go

Let them throw it. This is your rainbow baby. And not to be unempathic (I lost a child she was 9 months old). The stuff you got rid of for a reason. So in retrospect of feelings the last shower should be omitted and looked at as non existent. His parents don’t have to come.

It’s okay to have a shower for every pregnancy. Why not. Family loves getting together and share their love for the new baby.

Why is it “tacky” you’re celebrating a new child? Do it if you want to. It’s your child to celebrate

Have the shower if they think it’s tacky they can stay home

Not tacky, especially for you sweet mama!
