Baby shower

[acjones186]

As most of you have already saw from my previous posts I was hospitalized last Saturday due to early contractions that were 2-3 minutes apart, I'm 3cm dialated, and 75% effaced and now they aren't going to let me leave until the girls are born, which I have no problem with because I know this way I'm in a safe place to get the help I need if I need it. But I'm kind of sad now because I was supposed to have my babyshower on October 4th and now I can't have it :-(. What would you mommies do? Should I just wait until they are born to have it or see if the hospital will let me use a conference room or something to still have it or just cancel?

Move it up and have it at the hospital

You said you had it planned for October 4th maybe you can reschedule it a bit sooner and instead of baby shower it can be a welcome home baby shower and if ur hubby can maybe have your mom or sister someone close to you help him set up your nursery for ur little ones so when the day arrives everything is ready and u don't have to stress out rushing everything

I would see if the hospital would let yoy use a room, and if they dont then schedule a welcome home shower :)

I'm sorry that you have to be in the hospital. But it would be really cool if your family & friends had a WELCOME HOME BABY party. Where on the day the baby(s) are going home everyone is already at your house cooking & preparing & came with their gifts already... I don't think having a baby shower at the hospital would be as enjoyable cause there would be a noise tolerance level & you wouldn't be very mobile to play games being connected to an iv. And you'd have to pack everything back to the car. But just a thought, Blessings to you & your family. :-)

My bff was in a situation like that.she ended up having her baby shower once she left.she called it an after shower/welcome shower!

Don't worry.. that does stink being in the hospital especially with your 1st and with twins man oh man... I hope you will go with at least the baby shower conference room and have someone set up for you... we are pretty close in due dates I'm 27 weeks +3 so I know what you mean about having everything set up I'm sorry =(

If its already planned etc you should still have it whether you can be there or not, that'd what a friend of mine had to do and your family/friends will understand.  You can always Skype yourself there. The point of the baby shower is that you need the stuff so it's probably more efficient to have it before, plus you may have intentions to have it after but get so caught up with mommy life you just may never get around to it

I jsut feel sad being here :( I'm only 28 weeks 2 days and was looking forward to 3rd trimester getting my babies room ready and babyshower etc. but now I feel like its not going to get done, I know my boyfriend will do what he can with the nursery but you know its just that its my first pregnancy and i just wnted to experience all the setting up and all for baby. also with the babyshower i was just looking forward to seeing friends i aint seen in a while and all you know? I might sound whiney but i just feel down about all of it :(

I bet  the hospital will let you use a room you should ask this is an important time for you I hope all goes well =)
