Imagine being pregnant at the same time as your coworker, only to find out that they're getting a baby shower and you're not. That's exactly what happened to a 31-year-old teacher who was left heartbroken when her school threw a surprise baby shower for her 21-year-old coworker, Kayla, but not for her. Although the teacher and her husband have been trying to get pregnant for years, she was left feeling rejected and hurt when her school failed to include her in the celebrations. Let's dive into this emotional rollercoaster of a story. 😞
