no baby shower?

[gypsylopez]

Any other mommy's to be either not getting or not having a baby shower?? I'm kinda bummed out that its my first and I don't get the normal baby shower surrounded by people celebrating the little life inside you.

I tried having one when I was pregnant with my oldest and nobody showed up. It hurt so much, made me realize I was truly alone... so Im never having one. Didn't with my second, not with this one. If people want to do something for bb when she's born, great. If not, oh well.

Maybe do an online registery... we move a lot and this way friends and family that are all spread out... or can't be in the same room with others and play nice... can still get u something to celebrate

Those are such clever ideas!!! Thanks all! Glad I'm not alone!

How far along are you? If you don't know the gender yet then plan a mini gender reveal for the two of you. Have the ultrasound tech write the baby's sex in an envelope and have a bakery make a cake/cupcake with blue or pink inside and you can cut in to it together and celebrate? Or my friend had a baby store wrap up a baby onesie for the appropriate sex and her & hubby opened at home. I think it just feels good to make a celebration out of the amazing life growing inside you! :)

I'm not having one cause my husband had to move for work so we don't know anyone out here. Plus both are families have never really been around. No ones helping us. Its not like I need or want things from anyone just 4 of my friends back home are all pregnant and planning baby showers. :-( Lol

I'm not having one. & I'm still oh so happy !, & Im still going to get & have gifts already.

Are you not having one by choice? Or is it because of location or family circumstances? Maybe just enjoy a nice dinner at home or your favorite restaurant with either the baby's father if he's not in picture a friend/relative/ coworker that you feel close to. Make it a special day by picking out some baby items at the store too.

I'm not having one and thus is my first baby also . I'm bummed out about it too :(

[kimbrrlee]

I'm not having one because I don't have any friends who could come, nobody would surprise me with one and all I have here is my immediate family and if we came together there'd be some kind of fight. I'd rather just pick stuff out for her myself anyways.

I had one with my daughter an I kinda wanted a small one if I had a boy but my family said no

[jaysmom26]

Im not having one but its by choice, id rather spend the money on the things I need for baby. How do you know your not having one? Maybe someone is going to surprise you, if not why not just throw yourself one?
