In fact, the last shower I threw was for a friend who had 3 babies in 5 years. She requested no gifts, but we all decided to give gifts for her. So the friends gave her things like movie tickets, lotions, candles, chocolate.
In your situation, I would say yes to a shower. You shouldn't feel bad about it because there are enough years in between the kids. Anybody should realize that you'd need things (since your youngest is 6). I think it would be sweet if your 13 year old daughter was the hostess for it, too.

13|3|I just had this conversation with another trader recently. |Kristy|mi3zons1@yahoo.com|09:56:05|03/10/2011|
In Maryland you are given a shower for your first born and sometimes your second if it's the opposite sex but beyond that it's it. You are on your own as you chose to get pregnant it's like it's your responsibility and your choice so you pay for it. If a friend or family member chooses to do something that's their prerogative and I know like my parents all gave me diapers or an outfit after each of my babies was born when they would visit in the hospital. Otherwise I just fend for myself and acquire whatever I need via freecycle, craigslist, yard sales or the store.

17|1|Some hopefully helpful ideas......|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|11:08:44|03/10/2011|
Garage sales saved my hiney as my son wasn't planned & was a pleasant surprise. ;)
I had nothing & no baby shower. I scouted garage sales & 2nd hand stores like Goodwill, etc. for clothing & everything else I needed - I drew the line tho at used bottle nipples & bought all those new. Now too, there are FreeCycle groups so you may want to join any you might have in your area & post ISO/watch for items you're going to need.
Remember to also sign up for WIC (Women/Infant/Children) as it'll help you out w/some food items before your baby's born & w/formula after your little one arrives.
HTH. :)

That's really sweet and I agree with Tina in that all babies deserve to be celebrated.
I hope you have a party and your daughter gets to help. I bet she might enjoy it too!
Also aside from watching freecycle, be sure to post a "wanted" ad there. Also on Craigslist post an "items wanted" ad with what you are looking for and be sure to watch their free board too. I see baby stuff on CL pretty frequently.
Do you know if you are having a girl or boy? I can't remember if you posted.
20|1|my thoughts...|ptmama525|ptmama525@aol.com|11:48:01|03/10/2011|
I honestly don't see any problem with having a shower, however a couple of things to think about. If you don't have any friends/family to host a shower, who would you invite? The cost of the shower (even if you went "cheap")could possibly be more than the actual items you would receive...maybe take the money that you would spend on hosting a shower and go to goodwill, they have lots of nice items. I think if the family/friends that you would invite to a shower are going to buy something for the baby, they will with or without a shower, so put that money towards something you need.
Good Luck whatever you decide.

i know if you read miss manners she would probably say just for the first baby ... i think that's been the "rule of thumb" for many years. but IMHO i say a new baby is always a reason to celebrate! if your family is financially strapped (as most of us are!) it would be a great way to celebrate the baby and to get baby related items. if you're not financially strapped i would say STILL have a baby shower just to celebrate LIFE s

im sorry if i offended anyone with my question I will not be doing a baby shower I dont have any friends except those at church so a baby shower would be silly the people who know me at church will buy the baby something. It's times like this when i really miss my family i have never been this alone with a new baby coming i guess the depression and hormones are really getting me down thank you for all the suggestions and comments

24|2|Have a shower!|angNC|memawang@nc.rr.com|21:08:16|03/10/2011|
My daughter had one for #1 and #2, she said no shower for #3.
Turn out everything she had save was worn out from 2 boys.
She now saids "I wish I had a shower".
25|2|I didn't mean you shouldn't have one. :) (m)|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|22:05:09|03/10/2011|
I just wanted to offer some ideas that might be helpful to you, things that helped me alot when my son came along as he too was an unexpected surprise & noone had a shower for me & I didn't have anything in preparation for a baby. I panicked. LOL I'm sorry as I didn't mean to make it sound like you shouldn't have a shower. If that's what feels right for you, I don't have anything against it at all. :) If there's a "rule" out there or proper etiquette on how many baby showers someone can have, I honestly was not aware of it. Heck, I don't even know the proper etiquette for which piece of silverware goes on which side of a dinner plate. LOLOL
Actually tho, I was tickled to death when I found some really awesome things at garage sales. I remember one I went to had TONS of baby & toddler clothes, all of them neatly folded in sets like pants & shirts, bibs & shirts, shorts & shirts, matched & pinned together. I couldn't believe it as they were SO reasonably priced to boot. I left that one pretty well supplied from newborn to 4T, including onesies, sleepers, pj's, socks, a snowsuit. That's the same sale I also found a changing table & wooden porta-crib/playpen combo, & I remember my total was less than $50! LOL
To my knowledge, there was no FreeCycle or Craigslist then. At least that I was aware of since I didn't even know of computers/internet then believe it or not. LOL But there is now & I think they're both very good places, along w/garage sales & Goodwill, to find things you're likely going to need, for free or for very reasonable. Babies grow SO fast that they're usually only able to wear things for maybe a couple mos. & it suddenly no longer fits, & it can get pretty expensive. ;)
I hope this comes out better than my other post as I truly only meant to offer you some helpful ideas. :)

26|1|My 2 cents|carol58|cvigeant@comcast.net|22:37:33|03/10/2011|
I was raised you get the one to help out first time parents. Although I have heard a few people having more than one. I personally wouldn't go to a second one as times are tough for everyone right now. If there is many years in between babies people or major financial problems your family and friends might want to help. I wouldn't host it myself though. Tell friends and family you are needing stuff and maybe close friends will give you a small one and when you have the baby they also bring things to hospital. Check craigslist and second hand stores for big priced items. Clothes you can get in large lots on ebay, bonanza for cheap prices. 27|1|I am not a mom yet however I honestly do not see anything wrong with having a baby shower, we should as good people help whenever we can, it has nothing to do with being responsible on the parents part, it to me is a matter of helping someone if we can .

28|2|VERY well said, Stacey!! Gwen, HUGS & Please read inside|littlewolf|CCsuterlab@aol.com|08:59:48|03/11/2011|
Have you thought about talking to one of the ladies at your church about helping your daughter throw a baby shower OR welcome new lil' one party for you? They may not know 100% sure that you need help with the new lil' one. PLEASE do not let anyone here tell you what you can/cannot do as far your new baby is concerned. Surprise babies happen all of the time and many times the parents need a bit of help to get prepared. It is not like you have babies like door steps and are expecting help with each and every one of them.
HUGS to you, Gwen!!! Keep your chin up!!!

anyone not just you have numerous children close where there still maybe things held onto In Gwens case she didn't think she was going to have anymore and is starting from scratch hech between my second and third it was only about 5 years and all I had was a crib I think all of us should reread Gwens post and realize she said she doesn't have family to support her and believe me she could use some as dealing with a high risk pregnancy is not easy when you have family suport never mind not haveing it 45|2|Thank you, Tina!!|littlewolf|CCsuterlab@aol.com|16:30:25|03/11/2011|

39|1|One more thought...|sunriver|sunriver@gmail.com|11:33:04|03/11/2011|
I think you could have a party for pennies with some couponing skills. She has a church so she can probably use their space for free. Walmart's new coupon policy means potential for overage towards things like plates/cups (or she could possibly use the churches if they have dishes to loan). She doesn't really need decorations, but her kids could probably make some posters. Streamers are about $1.
Cake can be made for almost nothing with stockpile goods (I know if you checked my pantry you would probably find 10 cakes and 10 frostings, lol!) Same with party snacks since coupons are often good for snack items.
I sense that it isn't about getting gifts, but just feeling like she has some support and that there is excitement for the new baby! I remember how stressed out I felt when I was pregnant with Gracie and worried if we would have enough of what she needed. Add not having family/friends living close by and that just piles on those negative feelings.
I started to say more, but I will just hold back! Gwen should do what she most wants to do and feel our support. That seems simple to me.
40|2|I had Dash all alone, no friends, far from family|glennie58|glenn_scott@alumni.ksg.harvard.edu|15:13:43|03/11/2011|
Basically no one including my nearest sister in Hampton roads,
3 hours from Raleigh, even thought to give me a gift. I know how
you feel Gwen. Maybe when you know what you're having you could
post and those of us that have stuff and want to send it could do so
my advice: keep on top of cvs sales and buy bunches of diapers
you can always exchange them up a size if needed. I once got
Dash 6 large boxes at targets and the let me swap out the boxes
later for a size larger when I needed.
If you give yourself a shower folks may see it as you asking for
a handout, the same as when newlyweds or newly engaged
folks invite any and everyone to their celebrations, even without
a relationship to that person. LOL
I think your church friends may well give you a shower, just be
patient. Unless you are imminently due you are probably putting
yourself under too much stress worrying about money as we all
do in these days and times.
I know how out of control things can get when you are alone with
kids sleepless on the dead of night. Tami is right, WIC will help
So will trusting in your friends. Much love and congratulations
make sure you sleep and eat enough and please don't worry! 41|3|Gwen..you know you have friends here!!!|shellysmsmo|jpksms@sbcglobal.net|15:17:38|03/11/2011|

i havent ever felt this way when i have been pregnant i guess its the fact it was unplanned that really has me upset and the fact that I had to have electrocardio version and am on heart meds that they dont know how or if it will effect the baby.. I guess i am worried about the baby and worried about everything else too my dh doesnt understand my depression he never has...i was on anti depressants before i got pregnant and had to stop them..now i am dealing with the heart meds, the diabetes(i am on 3 shots a day) and their side effects, weight gain that i cant seem to control( I gained 4 more pounds) and my stupid shoulder which cant be diagnosed or treated... the only upside of this whole thing is the baby is a girl i will have 2 boys and 2 girls if everything goes well... im sorry for ranting and complaining so much i know everyone has problems and i should suck it up and deal with it but i cant seem to get a grip lately.

44|2|HAVE A SHOWER! If you are really depressed, have it for your own sake.|mo6g02|crazylady47952@yahoo.com|15:50:18|03/11/2011|
As a mom of 6, I know how depressed you can get. Make a cake, buy some cheap plates & napkins at dollar tree, make your own punch & let your daughter give it. Responsibility bull crap, it has nothing to do with responsibility, it's just a party to make you feel better. I'm sure you are going to take responsibility for your child & I'm sure you are not thinking that a shower is going to give you everything you need for a baby, but for anyone who has fought depression, it's not fun. It's horrible & it's enough to make you want to give up & just quit. So have a shower, invite your church members, invite your friends & neighbors, invite whomever you want. I'll pay for the paper products & help with a cake if it's needed. I fight depression, so I know exactly how you feel. To heck with what anyone else thinks, do whatever you need to do to get through another day. HAVE A SHOWER. Doesn't surprise me that your hubby doesn't understand how you feel, they just don't get it. But I know exactly how you feel, so again I say HAVE A SHOWER.

I would love to send you a gift 47|4|Yes!!!! Refundsweepers baby shower :)|maddysmom|scarlett13@new.rr.com|01:36:12|03/12/2011|
I would love to send something to your precious baby. You may not have planned this, but God did. He has a plan for each of us so please try not to be depressed over this and rejoice in the new you life you are bringing into this world. Every new life is a miracle and I would love to help you celebrate :) 48|5|What everything doesn't revolve around me LOL|Kristy|mi3zons1@yahoo.com|14:13:42|03/13/2011|
I don't smack people down sorry. I was open and honest about my opinion. Gwen asked for them I never attacked her just stated my opinion. As for planned or not planned does it matter? This one wasn't planned for us at all. But ya know what I sucked it up got a part time job and am doing what I gotta do to take care of my family. Ask the people here that really know me I don't have family support and very little friend support. It doesn't matter. Matt, the kids and I are a family and we take care of our own. Whatever that means we have to do to support our family we do. We celebrate each life and new member to our family. I just don't expect anything from anyone. I carry my own freight and don't expect others to do it for me. Less complicated that way and no one can say I 'owe' them. The times I've gotten in a pinch there are a few I can turn to and I know they will help but they also know I repay each and every debt.

Oh, BUT you have been harsh with both Gwen & Robin when they are talking about their babies. Believe it or not, they do have as much right as you do to talk about and be happy about their babies. Instead of offering them support as a Mom that has been there, done that with many different issues, you decide to come at them with cutting comments. There are MANY of us out here that have very little support behind the scenes but we do not use that as a reason to "smack" at others every time we turn around. It may seem to some that I am "smacking" at you BUT I am just really tired of the way people get treated on here.
And as far you doing what must be done to take care of your family, that is AWESOME but remember so are the others on here. We are all going through some rough times right now so no one has that market cornered with things.
I will end this by saying that I wish nothing but the best for your new lil' one as well as for the rest of your family.......

You can also ask women in the church if they have used baby clothes that you could use them. Most women prefer to give them to people who need them instead of tossing them or bringing them to the Salvation Army. What works for one family doesn't always work for another. Just do what you need to do in order to get through life. Life is hard enough........ So what if one person had one shower or two or three. Everyone's situation is so very different.
I wish you the best..... Are you registered anywhere online?

Mostly because I advocate breastfeeding and hope you will be doing that, but just in case that hasn't worked for your other kids I wanted to give you a heads up. At Walmart today I found round peelie coupons on cans of Similac powder that are save $10 when you buy 3 similar liquid (I think quart?). Anyway 3 came to $11.54, so for about $1.54/3 after coupon which seemed pretty cheap to me. They are on the tops of some of the cans of powder but only good on the liquid. I'm not sure why they placed them on the powder, maybe to trick people into buying the powder? Who knows. The same size sells for about $7-8 at Rite Aid. Anyway be on the lookout for that. If you could trade for some formula checks you could use them as well (can they be combined? I think so...)
Walmart gave me a horrendous time over my coupons today. I have to follow up with corporate. I came home so frazzled! 54|2|Wow! That's great Vanessa... Gwen I would make a run for it right now if I were you.. :-)|CJDJ112366|Lintaos@optonline.net|20:02:12|03/13/2011|

Hello Gwen, I havent posted here in forever. Congrats on the bundle of joy. I think you should have a baby shower. You got alot of great suggestions here .... have your daughter help out, neighbors, church members, ect. Im in the process of working on a baby shower for my daughter who is due in July. It also was an unplanned pregnancy..... but a blessing none the less. Wishing you a happy & healthy pregnancy. Cindy 60|2|I vote yes toooo the max, we all should help anyone who really needs it, and one day God will remember your good deeds.|jax|lynlynfootball01@aol.com|00:17:04|03/19/2011|
