One TikToker had social media users stunned when she showed them another way to prepare for their child\u2019s birth.<\/p>\n<p>The minute someone says they\u2019re pregnant, most people congratulate them; others ask if they know the child\u2019s sex already, and depending on how close you are, they\u2019ll be those who\u2019ll get excited about the upcoming baby shower. While all these reactions are valid, some people don\u2019t feel comfortable about the last two.One social media user revealed that when she discovered she was expecting, the last thing she wanted was a baby shower. Notably, the woman had already been there and done that, as this child would be her third; therefore, she knew exactly how she wanted her friends to celebrate her pregnancy.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nialui21\/video\/7284725806532758827\" data-video-id=\"7284725806532758827\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\" >\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@nialui21\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nialui21?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@nialui21<\/a> This man loves me so well!

Her friends showed up and showed off their dedication in the best way!<\/p>\n<p>How Did the Tiktoker Celebrate Her Pregnancy?<br \/>\nThe norm for pregnant mothers to celebrate the expectant births of their children is to have a baby shower. These events are usually used as a way to get baby supplies from friends and family ahead of the birth.<\/p>\n<p>Most times, the expecting woman will be the center of attention, and some games will be played to keep everyone entertained. Some people drink, and food is usually served to keep guests nourished.<\/p>\n<p>On October 13, 2023, a TikTok user named Nia Lui shared a video of how she prepared for and celebrated the upcoming birth of her third child. As someone who didn\u2019t enjoy baby showers partly because she didn\u2019t like being the center of attention, she chose to have a nesting party instead.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nialui21\/video\/7296303392593366314\" data-video-id=\"7296303392593366314\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\" >\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@nialui21\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nialui21?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@nialui21<\/a> I am so grateful for every phase of my life and the things I\u2019ve learned and experienced.

Instead, she had a nesting party to receive the kind of help she actually wanted ahead of her child\u2019s birth.<\/p>\n<p>According to Google, a nesting party is a social event where family and friends assist a pregnant person in preparing for their child\u2019s arrival by cooking, cleaning, and running errands for them. Lui chose the cleaning option as she had things in her home that she wished to sort out before her baby\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nialui21\/video\/7293192100517088554\" data-video-id=\"7293192100517088554\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\" >\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@nialui21\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nialui21?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@nialui21<\/a> Girl, don\u2019t look at me like that\u2026 My nips can\u2019t handle it\u2026 <a title=\"breastfeedingmom\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/breastfeedingmom?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#breastfeedingmom<\/a> <a title=\"breastfed\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/breastfed?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#breastfed<\/a> <a title=\"oneweekpostpartum\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/oneweekpostpartum?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#oneweekpostpartum<\/a> <a title=\"breastmilk\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/breastmilk?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#breastmilk<\/a> <a title=\"breastfedbaby\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/breastfedbaby?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#breastfedbaby<\/a> <a title=\"breastfeedingproblems\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/breastfeedingproblems?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#breastfeedingproblems<\/a> <a title=\"hungrybaby\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/hungrybaby?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#hungrybaby<\/a> <a title=\"babygirl\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/babygirl?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#babygirl<\/a> <a title=\"newbornbaby\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/newbornbaby?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#newbornbaby<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - CEO of Neva Forget!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-6837610623187454725?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; CEO of Neva Forget!<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>She revealed one of her friends organized the event, where she sent her a list of things she wanted done before her baby\u2019s arrival. The 31-year-old\u2019s friend made cards for each attendee, with a section of her house they would tackle.<\/p>\n<p>While the pregnant woman mainly supervised, her friends could be seen vacuuming, dusting, wiping things down, tidying up shelves, packing things away, and more! At one point, everyone took a dinner break and was seen eating soup, sourdough bread, and other treats.During that moment, they got to talk about the baby before getting right back to their chores! When they were done, Lui was pleased to see everything properly organized and the house clean and felt ready to welcome her child.<\/p>\n<p>A person who saw Lui\u2019s clip wondered why nesting parties haven\u2019t \u201cbeen a thing\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Showing what amazing friends she had, they also left her with freezer meals for her post-partum period! Lui highly recommended nesting parties for expectant mothers, and TikTokers couldn\u2019t help but share their opinions.<\/p>\n<p>How Did Netizens React to Lui\u2019s Nesting Party?<br \/>\nLui\u2019s post received more than 2,300 comments from TikTok users. One person didn\u2019t seem to approve of how Lui chose to prepare for her child\u2019s birth and felt the TikToker could\u2019ve \u201chired a cleaner\u201d or put cleaning as an item on her gift registry, adding:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could never watch my friends clean and organize my house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, other people loved Lui\u2019s idea and thought it could be done for non-pregnant friends, too. Someone else also agreed with the nesting party idea, saying they preferred it over sitting for three hours watching someone open presents.<\/p>\n<p>A person who said they were a surrogate lamented about people like her never getting parties and shared how she wished to have a nesting party. Another TikToker preferred Lui\u2019s event over playing games with strangers, while someone else confessed:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m pregnant with my 4th, and why did I never know this was an option?!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A person who saw Lui\u2019s clip wondered why nesting parties haven\u2019t \u201cbeen a thing\u201d and revealed they\u2019d gladly help out their pregnant friends and wished to have one too!
