Anyone else not having a baby shower?

First time mom here. My hubby and I just relocated, so no friends here. I also don't get along with my mother (she really hates my husband for stupid pride reasons). She doesn't exhibit any enthusiasm for my pregnancy, so I know she won't throw a shower for me. It's kind of a bummer because I wish I could have a little celebration for the little one, but truly, my hubby and I could really use some of the necessities for a baby. I get so sad seeing baby showers for other moms or the nurseries that they have set up. At this point, I can probably only afford a basket with blankets for the baby's crib! 
So...anyone else not having a baby shower? 😞

If you create a registry at walmart or most other stores people can buy online and it will be shipped to you. I know you said you recently relocated and have no friends in the area but you could create your registry and then post in social media sites that your registered here or there for anyone who would like to get a gift for your family. If you don't have social media you could just call friends and family to inform them of your registry. Just a thought, good luck!

I'm sorry :( do you have any friends who might be willing to throw some type of party? You may also be able to set up a registry and have a friend communicate to others that you're in need of some things. That's a tricky one I'm sure it's really hard. I would be so bummed.

Wow our plights are kind of similar. We're relocating Feb 11th. I'm 5w1d but by EDD will be in a totally different state than our families. Plus, my mother and I have a strained relationship. She suggested I fly back to TX (from new state Oregon) so she can throw me a shower. I told her w/the cost of the tickets for my SO and I we could likely just buy baby needs. Anyway, don't think I'll be having one either...

I'm not having a baby shower. I'm 37 weeks now and I got a lot of hand me downs from my sister.
