Baby shower shopping during the tww sucks ☹️☹️☹️

Attending said baby shower in the tww will also suck! Hopefully I can get through tomorrow without getting emotional!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

If it upsets you then make up an excuse and not go.

I definitely wouldn’t go. Make up some excuse, I haven’t been to a baby shower in years!! It’s just too much.

I had my sister in laws earlier this year, it was horrible! The whole time I sat there thinking I wish this was me, Will this ever be me!

They really are horrible. And all the fussing and baby talk. The last one I went to I drove home in tears and decided then I wouldn’t ever go to one again. Is this person someone particularly close? If they are then they should understand if you choose not to go. If they aren’t then I totally agree with the above 💩 excuse!!

Thing is explain you are happy for them but sad for your situation and real friends understand.

I had one booked in my 2ww it wasn’t someone I was that close to so I didn’t go and I defo think it was the right decision for me xx

That makes sense sometimes we can feel fine one day and awful the next xx

To be honest I always make an excuse not to go, you have to put yourself first and be kind to yourself and if it is going to make you feel sad then I wouldn't put yourself through it xx

I’ve just pulled out of a big Christmas dinner with friends and I feel much better for it. Attending will be a friend with her newborn twins, we did our 1st ivf cycles together in February, she got twins and I have 4 BFNs in a row 😭 In the past I’ve often gone to triggering events and they’ve never been as bad as I feared (and it’s been nice to see friends at them) but I recognise there are limits and when you reach yours you have to put yourself first. There’s no right or wrong decision here. Good luck whatever you choose. Xx

Oh wow that truely must be tough. I feel you lovely ☹️ ❤️❤️

Put yourself first & if it will make you feel worse don’t go.Personally baby showers not my cup of tea at all & I didn’t have one! Good luck with your 2ww hope it successful xxx
