Young mommies?!?

Any of you young mamas worried about how your older family is going to look at you at the baby shower?I'm 21 and not married... I am terrified to see some of my family at the shower because I haven't seen them since I've been pregnant. Most of the people coming to my shower are  25-80 years old and I feel like they are going to look at me badly! I am very self conscience!

I'm not a young mom ill have her when I'm 24 and I'm a ftm I still worry since my family always has something bad to say. But my family is just very critical about everything. So I wouldn't worry cuz you can be older and people will always find something negative to say. Some of my family would be like about time she got married then had a baby like really I got married at 22 and got pregnant at 23. That's not old to me.

I'm 17 & I was fine at my baby shower(: if they have a problem oh well, but everyone seemed to be accepting by the time I had my baby shower. Don't worry about how they will look at you. Chances are they're excited  happy to be there(:

I just feel weird because most the people coming are my moms friends that I have known my whole life and my mom can't make it to the shower because she is out of state and saving money to come when the baby comes. I think I would feel better if people my age were coming but there's only 2 out of 20 that are my age! I'm so nervous!!!!
