AIBU?

35 weeks pregnant and too tired to go out!

DH wants to go and have a few drinks in the sunshine with me. I'm feeling so tired after working all week, and struggling with feeling bigger, uncomfortable and generally fed up of being pregnant, so don't really want to! It's our first baby and we're really excited about the imminent arrival, but he clearly wants us to enjoy our last days of freedom! When I'm not pregnant, I'd be the first to suggest a glass of wine in the sunshine and I really miss being able to stay awake past 10pm... but I guess things have changed!!! So my question is... should I feel guilty about saying no? And if he goes out with friends instead, am I unreasonable to feel a bit sad about being left at home? Think my hormones might be making me a bit crazy and over emotional, but would like a second opinion!

Yes you'd be unreasonable to be sad at being left at home.

Not in the slightest - I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I'd like to stay in bed permanently until baby is due!

What about you and DH having a drink in your garden instead?

Don't go, but I wouldn't ask him to stay in, that's unfair. Have a rest and catch up on bad TV or sleep

Sunshine will be gone soon and it's started to feel a bit nippy.

Suggest an Al Fresco lunch tomorrow or Sunday, he can have a few drinks, you can eat and you both get to enjoy some sunshine but you'll be more refreshed.

At 35 weeks you must be exhausted. And I would feel sad at being left at home. Can't help how you feel. DH wouldn't have gone out though. He would have found something nice to do indoors, nice meal, movie etc.

You might feel better on weekend to go out. Good luck with last few weeks. Not long now! x

Yep just as I thought... I'm being unreasonable! He is now having drinks with his friends and I am going to have an early night, and try to stop feeling like I'm missing out!

Thanks... yes feeling better today! This last stage of pregnancy is just so exhausting, it's hard not to miss feeling like your old self and experiencing your old social life!

Sounds like you have a touch of missing-outsasitus. Get yourself comfy and enjoy your night in.
