Why don't you do one a month before baby and then you can do a welcoming shower after baby! Just because if your a ftm you can use all the stuff you can get! I know it's really hard I have had 2 mc one being on my husbands and mine 7 year ani! It was horrible because both of my sister in laws were healthy pregnant! It was really bad! So I do understand maybe when you get further along 8,9 months you will feel a lot better and get a sense of relief! But congrats hope you all the best!!

I've heard of a few people having the shower after the baby arrives lately :) may help to bring some healing to your loss as well.  Praying for a healthy full term pregnancy and delivery.

I just dont want one maybe im just hormonal but i cant help feeling sad everytime i think about it... But having one when the baby is here sounds like a good idea.

Do u not want one at all or just not yet? And you can always have a baby shower after baby is born and just put names in a notebook of who you would like to invite and possible ideas for it...don't go overboard with it until you are much further along.
