My closest friend has been trying to get pregnant, and has been through some meds and procedures- nothing is working yet. At this time another friend is pregnant and I am hosting her baby shower. I need some advice on how to be sensitive to the one having difficulty (she is on the guest list and to leave her off would cause people to question why). I doubt she will come. She seems to take it personally when others around her have babies- even strangers out in public. I know better than to discuss the planning of the shower with her. I can almost predict that once she gets the invitation, she will get upset and call me and make a point of reminding me she can’t have kids (even though she’s only been trying for a couple years and no where near being classified as barren) , and that she wouldn’t be able to deal with it. I love her dearly and don’t want her to feel any worse about this. Any advice???
