Im in my second trimester of my second pregnancy and ppl keep asking if im having a baby shower. Its sad but i always answer no. Not becuase i dont want one but because, like birthdays, thats not something i should be organizing. I believe thats what someone else puts the effort in to make happen. Im. Considered throwing my own but quickly realized my "village" or "family" is very non existent. It really makes me sad. In all my 29 years of life ive never had a birthday party thrown for me and now never will have a baby shower.
I can say though it lit a fire under my ass to never make my child feel this way. I will celebrate them both on every occasion cause feeling overlooked or like a burden is so ass.

I never had a baby shower for any of my 3 babies. My first pregnancy was during covid, then both my babies after that were also boys so I pretty much already had everything we needed. It made me sad for a time because I also know a lot of people wouldnt have been there, but now im just kinda like whatever. People have continually showed me that they wont be there for me or my kids and thats their loss not mine.
