i'm due nov 30th and NOBODY has even mentioned anything about having my baby shower AT ALL. Should I worry?

Question

wow, you guys are worrying me :-) . I don't NEED the shower, but I really just want to have a special day where I can get some attention before the baby comes and I get the boot!

Answer 1

Girl the best baby shower is the one you don't know about. Take it from me mother of one an may be one on the way. Be easy an i'm sure you an your baby will get everything you need!!!!! O and hit me up an let me know what happends GOOD LUCK

Answer 2

Personally, I don't think it is nice to EXPECT a shower. It will be really special if someone goes to all the effort and all of the expense to have a shower for you,but to me it is really bad manners and quite tacky to hint or ask someone to do it for you. Also, it really is very early. Most baby showers aren't given until the 8th or 9th mo. I agree with "Lovesamystery''that a shower after the baby has been born is much better. That gives you a chance to show off your beautiful new baby to everyone.

Answer 3

well in my opinion at least someone should reassure you that YOU ARE HAVING A BABY SHOWER. Then you will have the surprise of when it will be.

Unfortunately for me..I had to tell my mother in law to plan one for me and other than that I don't really know if I ever would have had one. But in the end I had my party and that is all that mattered to me. So, I would suggest to someone, maybe your mom or your husband that somone should start planning a party for you because these days people just don't think about it unless you remind them. and there is n othing wrong with reminding people not to forget about you because it is one of the happiest times of your life and if you are worried at all. Why make youself miserable not knowing if you will ever get one.

Good look with your baby!!

Answer 4

If your baby is not due until November, chances are your baby shower won't be until September.

But if nobody's mentioned it, or asked you questions about it - then nobody's planning to give you one.

And, well...I don't blame them. I wouldn't want to plan a baby shower for someone who EXPECTS it. They probably figured that you have already demanded someone to give you one, and are just waiting for the invitation, with the list of items that are expected to be purchased.

The whole point of showers, isn't the presents, it's to wish the mother well, and help out. And they're supposed to be a LOVING SUPRISE.

Answer 5

Usually showers are not held until the final couple of months. Personally, I asked my friends not to hold one for me. Begging for gifts seemed greedy in my thinking. Plus, having had a baby die when I was four months pregnant, a friend's baby died at birth, why not wait until the baby is healthy first? Having baby items around if things do not go well is torturous.

Answer 6

I had 2 kids and got 0 showers. Unless you have a lot of close friends or family you may just not get one. Life sucks in that way sometimes.

Answer 7

Don't worry. Here's what I would suggest...

You could throw yourself a "baby welcoming party." If your're a bit low on cash, you could have it at your house and ask your closest friends and family to bring a dish to pass. Don't call it a shower...that could cause a few raised eyebrows since you're throwing the party yourself. But, regardless of what you call it, people will be happy to come "welcome" the baby and will probaby bring a few gifts :-)

Best of luck with your pregnancy! Here's wishing you a healthy, happy baby!

Answer 8

Many times they are a surprise shower. Wait until the end of October to see. If not by then maybe you could mention to your family about them throwing you one. Many women do not get any. That's alright too. You get to pick out everything yourself. Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

I would at least wait until the beginning of Oct. before you mention it. Everyone I've known including myself had ours between 1 month - a couple weeks before the due date. Congrats!!!

Answer 10

You still have alittle time left. I would'nt worry so much about it. Let it be a surprise. But, if it's bothering you, maybe you should ask someone a friend, or relative.
