Baby shower & “friends”
Hi guys I’m having my baby shower tomorrow and my mum planned it all for me I’m so excited for it I invited my “friends” about two ish weeks ago so they knew about it and had a chance to make sure they’re free one of them forgot and then the other just messaged me know saying she can’t come because her mom needs help I can’t help be feel disheartened in pregnancy you already feel alone and now I just feel lost I’m 19 and these are my friends from collage kinda the only friends I have now I just feel lost and alone I have another friend who was supposed to come but she’s not been answering my texts I sometimes feel like I’m the problem or I’m just shit at making friends

Hey lovely, If you ever need anyone to talk to please feel free to message me,I’m 22 and due my first baby end of January x
I questioned myself the same when I was thinking to have one,but then I realised it’s not going to be easy to get those people together at once plus they were a bit disconnected since I got pregnant as everyone is in another place in their lives, at different stages. I am sure who really cares about how you feel will be part of your journey one way or another. Sending you good wishes.

Sorry to hear that. I haven't really had this myself as I'm in my 30s so most of my friends have babies or are used to friends having kids.. but I have heard that often friends can sometimes find it difficult when they're at different stages in life. All of my friends have had baby showers organised by a friend, but no one did one for me...which I do feel a bit saddened by but at the same time, I'm not fussed by a baby shower. Try and make the most of the baby shower and focus on who is there, not who isn't. Are you planning to go to antenatal classes or tried meeting pregnant women in your area? This might help if you want to meet new people. You will also meet people at baby classes etc once your baby is here.
