First baby shower since my loss

in Late Term and Child Loss
...is tomorrow. Wish me luck!

It's for a friend and she and her DH have been supportive of me while I've been on bed rest by coming to visit, bringing food, etc. We are also able to talk openly with them about our loss so I really want to be there for her. I just hope none of her guests start asking me questions about my pg since I am VERY obviously pg. I have my defense ready though; just going to say, "Today is all about S's baby, lets talk about her".

I hope I do okay and I can handle it.

    Good luck! I hope it ends up to be not as stressful as you imagine it to be. I like your defense for the baby questions. Hopefully you won't get any persistent ladies who won't leave you alone about it! Will be thinking of you.

    Good luck! I went to my first last weekend. It was hard. She was the exact same gestation, to the day, as I was when I delivered Patricia. I just kept thinking that I knew exactly what her baby looked like. But I made it! Thankfully she was having a boy. People did ask me about my pregnancy and I answered questions but always tried to turn the conversation back to the honoree.

    Hoping to bring home #3 due 9/9/15

    Hi ladies, it went okay!

    I did feel slightly defensive in conversations but I was able to kind of gently guide the conversations. No one asked me anything uncomfortable or said any strange comments. The topics just kind of skirted along the edge of my comfort zone and stopped there, so it was doable.

    It was nice to get out, since I've been on bed rest for 20w, but I was happy to leave when it was time. I'm glad I went, and I'm glad it's over. Also glad I have somewhere to come and talk about it; I doubt anyone there imagines that environment might be hard for me.
