Hi All,
Recently found out I am pregnant but am due to go on a hen do at the end of the month in Budapest. I will be 8 weeks when we fly.
I really don't want to go. Morning sickness hasn't kicked in yet but I am worried a flight would be dreadful and more than that we booked it last year (obviously before I knew we would even start trying) so all of the activities are around drinking, a beer bike, partying and going to the thermal baths - spending a day there hanging out in the baths and getting massages - which I can't do.
We're there over a weekend and I don't want to be a kill joy and ask to go back to the apartment after the meal before the drinking begins as I'm tired or sick and I don't want anyone to expect they have to come back with me. And I'm not sure what I would do all day when they're at the baths - it'll be cold and I know I'll be feeling much too tired to go sightseeing on my own. Coupled with the fact I have been before and of an evening I wouldn't want to get into a taxi on my own nor walk anywhere back to the apartment on my own either.
I have paid for my flights, activities and accommodation so no one will be out of pocket if I don't go, but I know they'll be disappointed. I am not in the bridal party and am not a super close friend but I know the bride well and she's a good friend - there's at least 10 of us going so I know I won't be massively missed as if it were a small group.
I think I have made my mind up but just wanted confirmation I'm not being difficult or a party pooper?
