Is it ok to drop gifts off and not stay for the baby shower if we are sick with stomach bug?

I don't want my friend to think I am being rude since I made such a big deal about being at her shower. But me and my son are sick with a stomach bug and I don't want her to get it. Is it ok to drop the gifts off the day of the shower but go inside her home so we won't spread our sickness?

Let her know why you aren't staying and I think she will appreciate the sacrifice you are making to help keep her healthy. I know if my best friend had to miss out I would not only understand, but feel bad for her because I would know how much she wanted to be there. It'll be fine.
Reply:That will mean a lot to her that you think of her own health.. Id say that is a great idea. She will appreciate it very much. Hey, its better than not showing up at all, you know?
Reply:More than ok.....If possible see if you can have someone else drop off your gift...
Reply:Not only is it okay, it will probably be much appreciated! Nobody likes having stomach bugs..hope you feel better soon :)
Reply:Not rude at all. Very nice of you to still want to drop off the gifts. :)
Reply:NOT RUDE VERY THOUGHTFUL PRENANT WOMENS IMMUNE SYSTEMS ARE WEAKER.THAN NORMAL AND SHE WILL BE THANKFUL FOR ANY GIFTS YOU BRING HER...
Reply:i think it would be ok your friend would be happy that you were even kind enough to get out the bed and would be happy to know that you did not want to spread your illness on to other people.
Reply:Just call her over the phone first and let her know you will not be staying because of that. Im sure she will understand and just pass by and drop off the gift.
Reply:It's a fine idea. If you have the means you might also suggest doing lunch together to to talk about all the games and gifts and girly stuff, it would be a nice time for the two of you.
Reply:I don't think that's rude at all. If you're sick you can't help it, and you're doing the polite thing by dropping off the gift to show that you're were committed to the shower. I would completely understand if it were me.
Reply:Yes.. I know if you were my friend and that was the case, I would love you for not wanting to spead it to me and my baby.
Reply:I think you sound like a brilliant friend - just tell her that you have a stomach bug - she will be happy you are looking out for her wellbeing and be very grateful you made the effort to bring her a present.





It would be much less appriciated if you stayed and she (or any other guests) ended up catching your stomach bug!
Reply:Absolutely! It's courteous of you to be dropping off the gifts!
