am I being selfish?

I just turned 20 and am now 22 weeks pregnant with my first child, a little boy. And I feel kind of sad because I don't think anyone is going to throw me a baby shower. I know that they are a gift when someone throws one for you and not expected but I feel sad bc my mom threw my big sister one woth both of her daughters and acts like she isnt going to for me. We've had friends and family ask us both about it and she quickly changes the subject without saying anything about it. It just makes me feel like she's not as excited about my son as she was for my sister's little girls. Is it selfish of me to want one as well?

And of not, girl ask a friend to help you throw your own.  I have been assisting with mine but I am lucky one of my girlfriends wanted to do one for me!

It's not selfish or wrong to throw your own.

Maybe she is going to surprise you with one?

I threw my own. It turned out really nice. Yea I got some flac about it from my mom and gramdma. They were all like "your friends are supposed to do this for you" I told them that because I'm young none of my friends have the money to throw me a nice shower. Which is true. Plus it was the way I wanted it to be. I told them to get over it and help or I'd do it myself. They got over it and I ended up with a big turnout. Its your baby and your life, if you want a baby shower, go for it.

I'm throwing my own shower because my mom lives out of state. Sobi planned it myself with one of my girlfriends and am throwing my own. I say screw it....throw your own and have fun!

Ive always heard that it was indecent to throw your own shower, you were either given one or you didnt get one

You can absolutely throw your own! Every woman deserves a shower.

There is nothing wrong with throwing yourself one. Maybe you should bring up planning one yourself and see what your mothers reaction is.

It's not selfish to want one. Maybe ask your mom if she plans to throw one for you like she did your sister and ask if they anything you can help with if she seems hesitant.
