I am currently pregnant with baby no.2. With my first pregnancy, my friends threw me a lovely baby shower and it was a great afternoon. However, they want to do the same this time round and I really don't want it! I don't like being the centre of attention at all, but really feel like I've 'been there done that' with the whole baby shower thing and don't need to repeat it all over again! I also don't know if I'm having a boy/girl so can't face a pile of neutral gifts e.g. baby blankets and teddies which I know I'd end up with even if there was a no gifts rule as people don't like to turn up empty handed! I've got stuff bursting out of cupboards from last time as it is...
The awkward thing is all this is being planned as a surprise, I only know because my friends have told my DH about it, so I can't even tell them how I feel! My DH feels abit uncomfortable being stuck in the middle...
I probably sound really ungrateful but I don't want them to go to any trouble or expense for something I'm going to hate...
