I'm in my 17th week of pregnancy and last night went out properly for the first time since finding out and I found it so strange!!
It was the first time we told our friends so everyone was so happy for us which was lovely, then the booze started flowing, then the shots...everyone seemed to be having a ball...except me.
Drunk people are full on! People were shouting, standing much closer when talking to me, not listening, flitting around it was an eye opener! I am usually on the other side so found it quite isolating being sober in this situation. We stayed out til 11.30 then went home, luckily hubby was too drunk so was happy to leave with me but then everyone went on and I found myself feeling that I was missing out...
I was so emotional the whole night too and burst into tears at one point, it just all felt too much!!
Is this normal? am i just being a pathetic pregnant person that needs to man up? How do you cope in these situations and does anyone else find these nights overwhelming and full on!!
