Is it ok to not want a baby shower?

[ER1992]

So my friends keep asking me for dates that I'm free for them to organise a baby shower for me. I have been persistent in telling them I'm not keen on the idea 1. Because I hate being centre of attention and playing silly games etc 2. We don't know the gender so don't want lots of neutral presents and 3. Me and hubby would rather if people want to buy baby a gift they do so after baby is here and they all know the gender. However my friends are making me feel guilty about not wanting one and I'm starting to feel like I'm just being silly

I’ve told me family from the start of my pregnancy that I don’t want one, and that’s that! It seems like a ridiculous thing to do. Just say no and don’t let anyone pressure you into doing something you don’t want. Your pregnancy, your baby, your rules.
