Baby shower sensitivities

Pregnant with my first and some of my close friends are struggling with infertility trying for their second or third children. When telling close friends labout my pregnancy some were happy some had mixed emotions. For this reason I am put off having baby shower as much as I would like one just feel bad. So thinking of opting for a party once baby is here, welcome thoughts navigating sensitivities thanks

Show your support

This is your journey and how happy you are. Those who genuinely love and care for you will always be there for you. Don't feel bad. However they might be feeling its most likely not towards you, they might just need to navigate through their thoughts and It's just unfortunate that they are going through some difficulties. They probably will still want to be a part of your baby shower and celebrate your joy with you x

Girl no if you want a baby shower have one! As unfortunate as it is for your friends struggling with fertility it’s not your fault. This is your journey not there’s, they’re not helping you deliver the baby so don’t stop your enjoyment for them. They should be happy for you as you’re pregnant. You better have that baby shower mama

Have the baby shower 🥰 you deserve to celebrate you and your baby x

Your friends will want to celebrate with you regardless, especially those who’ve had babies already and probably had showers of their own!

As someone who went through infertility I think it’s lovely that you’re considering their feelings. It’s a pain that is all consuming. Saying that you are still entitled to celebrate your joy. Work with a friend who hasn’t been through it to plan something and just be prepared that those going through a tough journey may not be able to attend. Let them know you’d love them to be there but completely understand if they can’t be. 🩷💙
