This one-time-only baby shower idea is outdated and boring.
Baby showers are just one of the ways our first pregnancies are a magical time.
But then, what the hell happens when you get pregnant again? You are running around pregnant chasing after a toddler and deemed greedy if you’d like to be thrown another sprinkle — which you totally deserve, by the way. In fact, the second pregnancy is when we need a baby shower, and an afternoon with adult conversation, more than ever.Let’s face it, when you are pregnant the first time, you can come home from work, or call in sick, and put your feet up and rest.
Then for the second pregnancy that is stripped away, and we have to push our way through life. Now isthe time to say women don’t deserve to be celebrated for enduring this so please pass the crustless sandwiches and veggie tray.It doesn’t have to be an over-the-top celebration . Some cheese and crackers and a gift the mother and father will enjoy after the baby has turned their life into a shitshow is perfect, like a coupon for baby-sitting or a gift certificate to get take out.
Women need a shower for every pregnancy, not just the first one because I am in heaven right now and I barely recognize my relaxed self. My point is, I was aware it was my second pregnancy and I didn’t really need anything but the gesture was so special and so needed while I was trying to mother my kids, I will never, ever forget. To this day, it’s been one of the best gifts I’ve ever received.
