I'm almost 37 wks and have been having a lot of rib displacement, causing extreme pain and difficulty sleeping. I'm supposed to travel 3-4 hrs to my last baby shower this weekend and just not sure if it'd be worth it. Don't know what to plan on doing. Thoughts??
Re: Skip own baby shower??
Too hard to judge with the info here, but... I'd think if someone is throwing a party in your honor and people are bringing you gifts, it would be pretty darn rude not to show up, especially this late in the game. Rib pain and trouble sleeping at 37 weeks is pretty normal... My vote is pull yourself together and find someone to drive you. Sorry you're not feeling well, but from what's here, sounds like you need to suck it up and go.
I get feeling crappy, I'm sure we all can identify with that. But I would still go. This party is being thrown in your honor, with the purpose of gifting you things for your baby. As others have said, maybe going will get your mind off your miseries. Also, someone planned this event, and the guests went thru the trouble of buying a gift and making time in their schedules to attend. I would go, if I were you. Put your brain into 'I'm going to enjoy myself for at least a little while, damnit! mode and you may trick yourself into enjoying yourself.
Have fun!
Also, this. I also didn't get a shower. Not everybody gets them, so please go enjoy it and be thankful
I would go to the shower too but I totally get where you are coming from!
