I have never had one and I have had twins, a single daughter and a single son before this year. My mum is throwing one this time and while it is weird to be doing it at the end of my childbearing, instead of the beginning, it is also really nice. It is a no pressie party and everyone knows it is just a nice get together to celebrate the miracle of these babies after losing our son last year. This is also my last pregnancy and a last opportunity to celebrate pregnancy and birth (which is my life, my career and my love).

We are having games but seeing as alot of my friends are also midwives, I think it will be a hoot. Also, it is mixed and kids are invited, it's not just a girl thing. I'm really really looking forward to it. It's on the weekend before I have to go into hospital for the month leading up to the babies birth. It will be nice to have a get together.
