People do not want to leave a baby shower until you’ve opened their presents, so make sure you are doing this no later than an hour to an hour and a half after the party starts. That way, if someone needs to leave a little early, they can. Keep in mind that it takes a while to open presents (at least 30 minutes) and that is why you should start this as soon as the eating and games are done.

Having a plan with your doctor may make you feel more comfortable as well.
