No baby shower

D
How many of you ladies are not having a baby shower ? I'm a FTM and this my first pregnancy and i won't be having a baby shower just because I don't really know anyone where I live I'm kinda bummed about it now that I'm seeing so much posts and how fun and exciting they look

I wish I had friends and family that cared enough to be able to have one x

This is my first and I'm not having one either. People have shipped us stuff and I just sent thank yous. We moved about 10 hours away from our family and friends, and don't know anyone here yet. I'm not really worried about it since we're both quiet/shy/not the party type. (Our bridal shower when we were still close was brutally awkward for us introvert folk hehe, so maybe it's different if you enjoy that sort of thing? 🙈)

FTM and not having one either. I only have less than a handful of girlfriends so it seemed silly to have one. I was feeling pretty bummed about missing out on a big shower but I'm glad I'm not alone in this. Thanks for posting!

I know a couple of people at work but I'm not sure if they would attend it and I wouldn't want to buy all the stuff to a baby's bower and then have like 3 or 4 people show up

We moved out of state at 20 weeks so we're not having one either. Not a very social person, but I'm still bummed. I'd like the chance to celebrate my baby boy and have people coo over him before he's born. The gifts wouldn't be too bad either. 😂

I was going to post this question myself!! I will not be having one. Mostly bc I'm in another state away from family and I don't really have any friends here. This is also my third baby so technically I don't get a baby shower. And I really don't need anything. But I guess I just feel like I'm missing out on a little gathering for the baby. I think more than anything I feel sad I'm missing out on having friends and family to celebrate with.

I'm so sorry you're missing out and you're a FTM too. With my previous baby I actually flew home and my family had a shower for me. Would you go home?

I'm not having one! My first child I tried to have one and it was such a miserable failure. I'm just as happy not having one, especially since I don't know ANYONE where I live except my partners ex girlfriend.....

Even in an area where I know lots of people I had an extremely small baby shower with just a couple of friends, lost most of my friends after getting pregnant and honestly I think just having one or two close people is so much better than something big. It was more like just hanging out with good food and some fun little games. I'd recommend going small anyways :)

Aww I'm in the same boat.. I moved from the east coast to the west coast just after finding out I'm pregnant. I am also a first time mom and don't even know everything I should get haha. I would love to have a baby shower, not necessarily for the gifts as I can afford everything, but just to celebrate with my boyfriend's family and for his mom's and grandmother's advice and things like that.
