Yep. My family doesn't want to throw me a shower cuz they don't think I have enough friends to have a shower. Which I don't have any but some people u know that they don't want to come. So I've decided I will throw my own. My friend is helping me with the invitations right now. But other then that it's all me. Who else has thrown their own shower
Re: Doing my own shower.
pregnant after round 2 of IVF. Transferred 2 embryos and (surprise!) was pregnant with triplets. Identicals passed at 8 and 10 weeks. Still have one healthy baby boy with EDD of July 30!

Then came a baby in the baby carriage May 16, 12
Waiting on our second little peanut!
My SIL really wants to throw me a baby shower as well, but she lives in L.A. and we can't travel back down there right now.

Consider having a meet the baby party after the baby is born or just throw a regular old party if you want to get together with friends.

My SIL is throwing me a shower and I could not be more grateful but if noone had offered, the last thing I would do is make a party for myself expecting people to shell out presents.
That is an awful thing to say. First time mom or a seasoned vet....! In saying send me an address because no mom should be told she doesn't deserve a baby shower because she doesn't have "enough" friends!
And I am waiting on contact info or for you to decline the offer, it still stands because I think you should get to open a gift

If she wants a shower then by all means let the girl have a freaking shower.
She asked if anyone had done it- she doesn't need the manners police calling her out. Maybe it's not tacky amongst her peers. My goodness I hope someone cares enough to want to celebrate with some of you.... Because the bitter is quite strong here!

ETA: For the record, I think every mom deserves a shower. It's a celebration of one of the most special and exciting times in your life. Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to have the type of family or friends willing to throw one. If you want to throw your own, go ahead, you deserve one as much as anyone else. If someone wants to be judgy about that, then they can party solo somewhere else.
And thanks samanthajoe. I'm glad other pregnant girls get my sarcasm and return it. Something has to make insomnia from pregnancy fun right?
