Being invited to gatherings at 29 weeks pregnant

[iddybiddymum]

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and have a 2 year old. I've been invited to a hen do, a 30th and a child's 4th birthday. Due to the weather they'll all be indoors and it's not sitting right with me to go.

Am I being funny about it? How do other pregnant people feel about social gatherings as it's really getting me down

If you don’t feel comfortable then don’t go, especially if it’s large gatherings indoors from multiple households. You are not especially at risk but it’s not compulsory to go to these events.

I stopped going to things at around 38 weeks. Just don't go if you don't want to, how would you feel
If people didn't invite you?!

Same situation here but I’m 27 weeks. Honestly I’ve decided to hunker down for my last trimester as evidence shows the risks do go up at this stage. I know lots of people think I’m being over anxious but I definitely wouldn’t be going to bigger indoor gatherings. I’m going to still see my two close friends outside and my family but nothing beyond that. I am prone to anxiety though so I may not be the best comparison! :)

Do whatever you feel comfortable with x

30 wks pregnant and fine to mix tbh. My 3 yr old is at nursery, her best friend is having a bday get together on Sunday which I’ll take her to. I’ve seen my friends, been to farms and parks etc- I can’t stay in for 10wks, I just can’t and I won’t.

@iddybiddymum do what you feel comfortable with, decent friends/family would understand if you tell them you don't want to go.

I'm 31 weeks and haven't been to anywhere indoors, mostly because I'm asthmatic as well so feel it's an extra risk and if I got covid now and didn't recover by my due date then I'd be giving birth without a birth partner and I know that situation would do my mental health much more damage than these months of not seeing people will have done.
