You can have a baby shower at any point in time during (or even soon after you give birth) most women simply wait until they are in their last trimester, as at that point they typically know the sex of the baby, the theme of the nursery stuff they want, and the fear of miscarriage etc is not really an issue. Though some people opt to not find out the sex of the baby, so they find no reason to wait for that long in such situations. Also, many chose to wait until after baby is born, so they have an opportunity to show their baby off etc. I prefer to have it in my 7-8th month, since I'm not completely wiped out exhausted and too difficult to waddle around haha. I know the sex of the baby, etc, and usually getting the nursery ready around that time, so I don't have a bunch of stuff sitting around getting in the way forever. I find that having it after baby is born would stress me out too much, but that is just my personality hah. It also depends on who is throwing it for you and if they have preferances of when it is better for them. Also doing it around holidays can be difficult, unless your only inviting family and they are all going to be around, then it might be simpler. Haha. So you see,there's really no set rules on when you have to have your shower. Just go with what is most comfortable and convenient.
