New poster here.  Some of us wish we had loving and supportive family and friends but we just don't.  I'm about to give birth any day now (FTM), and DH and I will not have any visitors (not by choice).  Our families live thousands of miles away and will fly out after the birth at some point to meet the baby but it's too difficult and expensive for them to get tickets right away.  And we're newish to the area so no close friends who would be interested in visiting.  It would be lovely to receive cards/flowers after giving birth but I don't expect we'll get any of those, nor will anyone be dropping by to bring by a meal.  It's sad and depressing for me but some people just don't have family/friends who show their love and support.  I would have enjoyed having a baby shower too but no one offered to host one for me.  I guess I could have had a gender reveal party but my guest list would have been like 3 people.  [/quote]

I'm sorry for your situation, ours is similar.  Though family would fly in, we just asked them not to (since my mom can be a stress stirrer).

I don't think the post you're responding to is meant to say that anyone who won't have many people to share their birth with is a terrible person.  It's responding to someone who had nasty things to say about about anyone who wanted that.[/quote]
