I don't have any friends and I don't know if I will get a baby shower. Should I do it myself or what? Who should come since I have no friends? I feel so alone with no friends, but I do have co-workers, but not close enough for a baby shower.

you'd be surprised...my co-workers had a baby shower for me and I didn't feel very close to them. It was a surprise and man was i surprised. Hope you have the same surprise. I don't think people generally have them for yourself. Do you have family close by? Would someone in your family have one?

Personally, I would not throw yourself a baby shower. I know you want friends and you feel alone....but throwing yourself a shower would be the same as asking for gifts. And that is not a great way to make friends!!
You will probably get gifts from these coworkers....and you never know if they might decide to throw you an office shower themselves. But if you don't have a shower it isn't the end of the world.....truly.
Go ahead and register....if you are concerned about items you may need for baby. You never know when people may ask where you are registered....it's good to be prepared!!
Good luck with your upcoming little one!!

Im sorry u have no friends,i know how u feel..i have a very large family and when i moved miles away i lost friends and now only have my hubby and his family mainly his sis and mom,nothing big...Im pregnant and want a baby shower so bad since i never got one with my other 2 pregnancies but dont think noone will give me one since i ahve no friends either =(
Nothing is wrong with throwing yourself a shower,buy some invitations or make them and send them to all family and maybe a couple coworkers who u THINK would be interested...It doesnt have to be much people...If I were there I would throw u one,if u threw me one =)...Good Luck and congrats on the new baby!!!!!

What about your family or the babys fathers family. I my sister only hade family at hers we have alot of family. Some one should through it for you. If you are going to end up coming out of your pockets alot and not get enough people to come than just spend that money that you were going to use for the baby shower and buy the baby more things he or she needs.Are just have a small so you can all celebrate the arrival of a new family member

The best thing to do in this scenario would be to confide in someone that you would like as a friend that you are afraid that you may not be getting a baby shower because by doing so there is a good chance that if that person has a heart that they may take it upon themselves to do something for you and your baby.

My husband's family threw me my baby shower. They knew most of my friends and family were living out of town. Maybe your mom could throw you one, or if you throw one for yourself, you can invite co-workers or friends of the family. It's ok of you don't know all of them personally, you will get to talk to them at the party. I didn't know all of the people that were at mine, but since you are the guest of honour, they will make a point to come and talk to you.

Thats how I felt, Being 15 and pregnant not a lot of people would want to go to a baby shower. So me and my boyfriend just got our own stuff. It sucks not having a lot of friends :(

Before you worry about a baby shower, try making friends. Are there any support groups for the first pregnancy around your community? Get out and meet people. Talk to other mothers for advice.

If you live close to family, Mom or a sister might do one for you, and if not have one your self, invite a few co workers and your family. If this is not your first child some people wont have one for you ( I know it's messed up, but it happened to a friend of mine and she had her last child 4 years earlier ). Good luck.
