Have baby showers gone out of control?

attended one recently. not only was there a shower for the mum, there was a separate gender reveal and then another party when the baby was born. The baby shower was like something out of a reality tv show.

Doesnt it feel like its all becoming a spectacle and out of control?

but wouldnt it be worse having a big celebration, all these memories and then it doesnt work out? Would much rather celebrate after with a healthy baby

No, the worst thing is your baby is dead. And then you have to live with that forever.

The only event when a baby is stillborn is the funeral.

I know more than one person who had a baby shower and then a stillborn and they cherish the celebration they had for their baby.

When my baby died at birth I wished we'd celebrated every moment of him before we lost him.
