    Nope, I don't think it's silly at all! Definitely have one if you get the chance or want one...it is great fun and there are so many ways to do it...afternoon tea, a BBQ, picnic at the park etc. If you feel bad about having a "baby shower" then call it a "baby welcoming party" or a "end of pregnancy party" etc. Any excuse to get friends together is always great!!!

    I had one with my second and not my first. I had two actually (one was thrown by someone else). I think it's a lovely idea for any baby. I'd go to someone's if it was there 2nd 3rd or 4th. It's a perfect time to celebrate. i think they should happen more often! xo

    If you've never had one then I think it's normal to want one now.

    I'm from the US and women there have a baby shower for every pregnancy. They even register for gifts at Target and baby stores so they can be sure to get what they want. I never thought about not having a shower for subesequent pregnancies so I say go for it!
