Babyshower?? Maybe not!

Hi all,

I am 19 weeks. I am high risk. This is not how I thought my pregnancy would be at all. I have high/normal blood pressure and I have gestational diabetes. I am at the doctors at least 3 times a month. It’s annoying but I am thankful to be pregnant. We struggled for over 3 years to conceive.

Well to make my pregnancy even more of a risk, last week I went in for a regular check up and ended up having to have emergency surgery the very next morning. My doctor found out that my cervix was opening up and that it’s weak and thin. This means I can have a late miscarriage(before 20 weeks) or go into preterm labor(before 24 weeks). Neither of these baby would survive. I had surgery to close up my cervix(a cerclage). I am now on very low activities and need to rest a lot.

With all that being said, I do not have the energy for a babyshower anymore. I don’t feel like planning it. I don’t feel like looking for games or decorations. And I don’t really have anyone that I can ask to just plan the whole thing for me. What other non traditional, low maintenance baby shower ideas do you ladies(and gents) have? I need ideas! Ones that are nice but not very involved; with little to no decorations or games.

Thanks everyone!

*and not I can’t have it at my place-too small
