Yes, I had one. It was after she was born since she came 7 weeks early and weighed 2.2 pounds. I received lots of preemie and newborn clothes! It was very nice of everyone.

Yes, I had three -- one at work and one for the relatives and one for the wives of where my DH worked. Got a lot of much needed stuff although all that long ago the stuff wasn't as pricey as it is now!

Yes. The showers were fun, the items my friends gave very helpful. My first ex MIL gave me a beautiful baby bed. I still have the decorations from the cake from my first shower.

No baby showers for my 2

I was married 15 years when my only child, a daughter, was born. My high school friends were so happy that I finally was having a baby, that they gave me a big shower. I had told them I was going to breast feed and the baby would sleep with me ... they said I would change my mind. I didn't. So I took the bottles and the beautiful crib back to Foley's, a department store that used to be in Houston, and exchanged it for clothes for her. I didn't have to buy any clothes for her until she was 3 years old.

Yes, my aunt made me a Charlie Chip can full of chruichiki cookies. My most favorite cookie.

Yes I had a baby shower before my first baby! We also had a "Baby bag" of gently used baby items we shared among my first cousins as each of us had our babies. They are some of my fondest memories!

Yes, one at my work and one at DH's work. Lots of cute baby clothes & infant toys.

One for my one son. Everyone showed up at our condo carrying gifts, food and balloons. Surprise! Glad the house was clean!

Four kids,four showers. Me and my friends would use any excuse to throw a party.

My friends threw showers for all four of my pregnancies as well. I've heard you should only have a shower for your first, but apparently my girlfriends didn't get the memo. Like jojoco, my group looks for the slightest excuse to throw a party. We didn't play any silly games, just a fairly typical brunch type get together, albeit with a theme and presents.

I hate baby showers! None for me, and my DD feeling the same way, none for her, either!

I had a unique one. I was working in Detroit and living in Ann Arbor and took the New York Central train that ran between Chicao and NYC, which came through Ann Arbor at just the right time to get me to work. One of the other commuters worked in the art department at J. L. Hudson department store and planned a lovely surprise shower in the bar car of the train going home. More men than women, but lots of fun. Just the other day I found the large tri fold card she drew with me on the front in my favorite maternity dress, and inside she drew a head on picture of the front end of the engine with drawings of each commuter hanging from the front, all signed of course. They bought me as lovely layette. Even one of the bar car attendants slipped me a bottle of Johnny Walker Red from the train after I slit. One of the best hours I've ever had. Great party.

No babies so no shower,although i would never allow one if I did have a baby. Last month,I picked up my birth control pills on my birthday, and the girl behind the counter at the pharmacy gave me a piece of candy. That's probably the closest I'll get.

I have a standard gift for baby showers, which I dislike. I won't attend,but I will send a big box of size 5 diapers,a big box of wipes, and an assortment of baby soap,shampoo,bubble bath, the vapor bath stuff,stuff like that. And I grumble the whole time.....

I love buying baby gifts. It's such a joy to be a part of welcoming a new little one into the world. Picking up miniature clothing, cute toys and classic story books is a treat for me. No need for a shower, of course. I send gifts when the baby is born, regardless of a shower.

I haven't been to a baby shower in many years, though our niece in another state just had one. I'm always happy to attend such parties since there's a lot of joy involved! I was lucky to be given a shower for each kid and though I hated being the center of attention, I appreciated the friendship and the gifts very much.

My wife said that she had two for each kid, at the insistence of family and friends. One where we live, one at home town. After the first kid, subsequent showers were "No Gifts Please" and, she said, they were simply an excuse for a happy ladies luncheon to celebrate the coming babies.

No. With the first one I was living away from family and did not have the kind of friends who would do that. With the second one, my then husband had graduated from professional school a few months before so all our friends from school had moved away , so again no friends to organize it. I was so disappointed because I had been to at least a dozen baby showers while husband was in school and spent plenty of money on gifts. My life is one long story of bad timing!

I was always new in town, so no showers. But I did knit and crochet things for our babies.
