So a coworker and I are pregnant. She's due three weeks before me. Keep in mind she is married and I'm not. Just got an email about her surprise office baby shower.
I'm tired of people devaluing my pregnancy because I am not married.
I could be reading to much into it but I'm still blown.

I am having the same thing at my job. No one else is pregnant but I noticed that for everyone's birthday they did huge carry in lunches mine was last and they did nothing, I was sick and In the hospital the next day and one of the girls brought in a cake for me and they ate the whole thing. So I'm not going to be getting a baby shower I'm sure of it.
they may throw you one too but I completly get when you are coming from. when I was pregnant with my daughter it was my husband's first child my other two are from a previous !marriage but we didn't have anything for her and non of our friends or family did anything for us. his best friend's who are family didn't even do anything for us and when one of them got pregnant everyone jumped to their feet and threw her a baby shower and to prepare her for everything she needed while we struggled to get what we needed.
Thanks ladies. I do realize I wouldn't get an email to my own surprise baby shower. Time will tell whether I am surprised with my own. I've calmed down
@mommabear2b, she did start working before me. I could def be reading to much into it.
did she start before you? my coworker had a surprise baby shower too and I didn't. but she has been working there longer than I have. I'm a shy person so I don't mind st all. but I see where you are coming from
Hopefully they are just doing them separately and you'll get to be surprised as well. I would give it more time before jumping to the bias on this one (though it could still show up elsewhere) @nefertiti16
Umm so if they were to throw a SURPRISE part for you too wouldnt telling you about it kinda defeat the SURPRISE?
@emily18234 that could be a possibility. I've just seen and heard my coworkers bias.
@emily18234, I was thinking that too. Especially since she's 3 weeks ahead of you. You aren't supposed to know about a surprise lol
how do you know they won't give you one in a few weeks? if its a surprise clearly u won't get an email about your own. I'm sure you are reading too much into it
@arachelle, I don't need my coworkers to throw me a shower it's just the culture of the office to celebrate each other. I wasn't complaining I was just venting and checking in to see if I was just overreacting.
