Baby showers make me depressed?

Question

My best friend is having a baby girl and she wants me to go her to her baby shower in June. She stays in Vegas but I'm in California so I don't know if I'll find a way to get there. I've been ttc for 13 months and so far nothing has happened yet. I really don't want to go and no I'm not a bad friend I love her to death it's just it's hard to deal when I see someone pregnant cause I've always dreamed of having a little one of my own but me not wanting to go it doesn't make me a bad friend right?

Answer

Go to the baby shower for the simple fact that that's your best friend. Your not a bad friend but you should be there for her cause if it was the other way around she'll be there for you

Answer

If that's how you really feel then talk to her about it NOW. Would you go if you got pregnant ?. If so then you should really consider going now. Even if for a quick minute. If y'all are really that good of friends you should be able to talk about this

Answer

Tell her how you feel and that you'd rather not attend. Is she's a good friend, she will understand. I totally feel you on this because I'm the very last of my friends to have kids (I'm 37) and I've struggled for 6 years with infertility. Of course you are happy for your best friend but you deserve to be honest with yourself and not people-please.

Answer

I really hate baby showers too..I get excited for ppl in my family and my friends but I get a lil jealous inside..right now my 19 yr old niece is pregnant we just found out its a girl she already has a 3 yr old son. I want to be so excited but just seeing her baby bump photos on Facebook makes my heart drop a little.

Answer

No, you're not a bad friend at all!!! I completely understand!

Answer

You should goooooo...!!! Don't miss out on greats moments in your life... Some day you be the one who is having a baby shower and your friend won't come..  God bless you and enjoy life!!😊

Answer

Don't be jealous it will be your time soon, support your friend I'm sure she would do the same if the roles where switched, baby dust to you and good luck 😀

Answer

Your not a bad friend...
From my experience.. I was ttc 2 years 2 of my friends in those two years had baby showers i didnt go cus i was upset that i wasnt getting a bfp and to be honest we dont talk anymore i kinda distance my self from them :/ i wish i went to there baby showers god blessed wit me a baby in jan baby dust to u

Answer

I am sure that if she is a real friend she will understand if you talk to her. I've missed out on many baby shower for the same reason. I'm trying to prepare myself to try to go to my sister's when it comes but I may have not bin the right  emotional state to be able to go.
Just don't let anyone make u feel like a bad friend for putting your needs first.
