We all love a good family gathering, don’t we? But what happens when one family member decides to steal the limelight during a very special occasion? Our story begins with a mother-to-be, preparing to celebrate the upcoming arrival of her rainbow baby – a term used for a child born after a miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death or infant loss. But, as the party planning gets underway, a surprise announcement from a cousin threatens to overshadow the entire event.

As the preparations for the rainbow baby shower are in full swing, an unexpected twist arises. The mother-to-be’s cousin, also expecting, wants to share her joyous news at the same event.

What do you think? Was it right for her to protect her special day or should she have shared the spotlight? Let’s dive into some opinions from around the web…
