| I guess it depends on your friend. Some people play it safe and wait until later in their pregnancy before buying anything. I'm only 16 weeks and people are already giving me stuff and buying me stuff and I appreciate it. Maybe you can hint around it with your friend and see how she feels. ↑ |

| That is a good idea . Iknow it will take almost a week to get to her so that will be another week..LOL. I have been trying to find away with out tipping my hand but she is not saying...Grr being so difficult! ↑ |

| Well is she having a baby shower? Cause if she is I would wait until then so you can get her something that she wants off of her registry. ↑ |

Well We live across the country so I will not be at the shower ..but I doubt she will have one since she just moved to her area & will not be traveling back home before the birth. I do not know any of her friends . When we hung out it was just us so I doubt they would let me know if she does have one.. I know this is getting complecated but maybe ya all could let me know how you would feel if you got a gift in the mail for your baby yet tobe born...???
Thank so much!!! ↑ |

| I don't remember getting gifts from other people before my shower, but I did get presents that were just for me for the pregnancy. My sister-in-law bought me some stuff from Motherhood maternity, and someone gave me lotion. I know my hubby and I bought the baby a couple of outfits, but I think if I got gifts that early on, in the back of my head I would probably worry that what if something happened with the pregnancy?? I would feel guilty for having accepted presents, plus they would be a reminder of the loss. But that's just me. I think if you wait until she is around 35 weeks or more that would be a good time to send something. ↑ |

| Hmmm I'm 21 weeks tomorrow, and I'd find it strange if someone else bought my baby a gift. It's a lovely thought, but if I were you, I'd wait until she has her baby shower, or until she's given birth before buying her baby a present. ↑ |

| The only gifts we got that early on were things we bought for the baby ourselves. I had 2 baby showers, though...and we got a lot of stuff for that. I agree with everyone else, though...even if she doesn't have a shower, or you're not invited to it, wait until later on before you send her a gift ↑ |

| I would say to either wait until she is further along in her pregnancy (maybe when shed is either 6 or 7 months) or until after she has her baby. Unless of course their is a shower for her and then I would say send a gift around that time. ↑ |

| Thank you I will wait and no she has no clue what it is . It is not a big deal just something for the baby to lov on but I thought it was to cute to pass up . ↑ |
