mrsmom.....if you would put proper fitting bra on ....then take Xanax and let the Captain take over, you'll be fine!!!!. :snort:
Take a deep breath....You're OK.
Try to remember the shower is not about you and you won't be the center of attention. Everyone will be focused on the mom-to-be and especially on the baby. No one will be focused on you. Wrap the present and go. You can always leave early if it's horrible, but you should go to this. Your presence is important to her.
I don't like showers either babe. Does anyone really like them? :hides: I hate being the center of attention and I told everyone NO SHOWERS for my baby, but there are already 2 in the works.
and I agree with IC2, you should mention to your doc you need something stronger for occasions like this. :huggy:
You're right KG, it's not about me (which I knew, but still). It's her bridal shower btw. Not that it matters, but she's 48 and this is her first marriage. She did want children but she feels it's too late for that. out: She is one of the most real, kind, giving, hard working peeps I have ever met. I want to be like her when I grow up.
I really want to do this!!!
Thanks all!
KG I'm glad you have showers coming your way! You will enjoy yourself, I did.
I just went to a friend from KDG's shower...I knew no one but the mom to be and one sister. I sat at a table with old ladies and a teenager. AWKWARD. BUT, it was fine. I can talk to anyone. You will be fine...
You Is Kind, You is Smart, You is Important!
At least the bride WANTS you there!!
Yeah, but wouldn't she actually have to GO to the Dr.?? just sayin :9:Try to remember the shower is not about you and you won't be the center of attention.

Not pushing or anything and obviously I am biased, but have you ever thought about going to see a therapist just to practice some role-playing and to work on developing coping skills. Might even be able to find the root of the anxiety and push through that to almost eliminate it.
Just saying it because I think you are awesome and others should get to experience the awesomness that is you to its fullest!
