I had no friends where I lived and my family didn't even really care (except my mom) and so I didn't plan one. My husband is in the air force and some of the other spouses found out I was pregnant and decided to throw me one! I was so surprised! They were great, I didn't even know them and they did that for me.

I didn't have a "real" shower for either of mine....my work threw me a shwoer for the first one but it was a quick affair that was more about me getting transferred to another city than an actual baby shower (but I was very grateful and touched, still).
That is probably why I am doing what I do now....making diaper cakes. I am living vicariously through all the people I am making these cakes for. I wish I had....but have moved on. I know that there was tons of love for my little girls (and for me) it just never got planned, you know?
You and your husband should, instead, go away one weekend together and do somethign special involving the new little one. Get a nice journal and start writing in it, together, while you are away. Celebrate this baby, together!
I can understand your sadness....but just because there isn't a shower doesn't mean that there is no love. Love is all around you!

Maybe someone will throw one for you. Maybe a coworker? Either way,you can throw one. Just make it a celebration of the baby your carrying. Dont do a baby shower registery but invite the friends you have. Make it a get together,but you can have the ultrasound pictures out,food,cake,maybe games. Im sure theyll still bring gifts and maybe this will even bring you all closer.
Theres also no shame in doing a little something just you and your boyfriend.

I had one with my first, didn't with my second.
One idea for you would be to wait until after the baby arrives and then host a baby welcoming party yourselves. Then you can have both men and women there, and most people will bring a present for the new baby.

You could still have one!!!
What about your coworkers?
I am kinda in the same situation (I am not pregnant, but no friends)
I am feeling for you
Good luck! At least you have your husband and baby, who will keep you a company!

that's one good reason to be involved in a church. A church family is wonderful, they would love you and your family. They would have a shower for you, and plan meals for you when you came home from the hospital. God Bless you and your Baby!

I didn't have one and it is OK. You should be happy and joyful of bringing a new life, your child into this world. Concentrate on that and it should make you smile. It made me.
