Are baby showers supposed to be stressful??? Because everyone's telling me not to stress out but they're doing stressful things... My sister convently forgot to mention that she not only needs a ride her self but for my other sister as well, my fiance still has the baby's dresser taking up one side of the back seat and if I say something is going to be an argument not to mention I'm a ftm being induced 3 weeks early due to having cholestasis... now I have to call around trying to look for a ride for not only one sister but two and did I mention the shower is Sunday and I'm being induced on Tuesday? Help!

No you don’t have to call around, tell them to find their own way there. Don’t get yourself stressed about these minor things, this is your time. Take a step back and try to relax and enjoy before your little one arrives! 🫶🏽

Easier said then done, because we already agreed to bring one sister and the other assumed that since we were bringing one we'd being her too!

Mention to both that it's too stressful on you! You can always tell them to ask other guests attending, or if they're unable to find rides, you're more than happy that they want to support you for this event, it's just too much to be your responsibility with organization and being induced! ♡♡ stress isn't good on your body and the baby and ofc that's your main priority

Right unfortunately I don't think they care!

if they don't am not sure you should to the point of getting stressed out to arrange transport for adults who would otherwise make their own way to events they want to attend ...

how old are they? If they’re over 18 they’re adults and they need to sort themselves out. You are preparing to bring your child into the world, you don’t need to be running round sorting other people out

Got everything situated and figured out hopefully... My husband will pick up my sisters he's going to take out the dresser so there is enough room in the car...

This will look all too silly to be stressed about once you have your baby.. you need to learn to let things go sometimes. No one will die if the dresser stays in the car for a bit longer or your sisters find their own way to the baby shower. I am so mellow now about everything that doesn't concern my baby directly. Stressing about her wellbeing is enough 😅

@Petra Yeah you right, they will be going via my husband though because that was the original plan... but thanks for your comment!

I planned my own so it was definitely stressful. Goodluck girl!

Yeah I'm planning my next one and hopefully it won't be as stressful as this one that my husband's sister is planning!

I had one baby shower and I will not be having another. So yeah they are stressful but shouldn't be
