What should I say to get out of this?

[ForSharpRoseSeal]

I need your help on an excuse, I don’t know if it’s maybe the pregnancy making me antisocial or just the fact there’s too many changes in my life at the moment (moving house 2 weeks before due date, working full time still etc)
So me and my husband did antenatal classes which were good, and we learnt a lot. The teacher recommended us all meeting up for a social, one of the people was really keen for this and had organised an evening. I don’t mean to sound anti social but I honestly can’t think of anything worse at the moment, just with baby coming, moving dates being moved and work killing me. I just wondered what I could use for an excuse…I feel like my anxiety is through the roof and this is just adding to it.

"So sorry I can't make it but have a lovely time!"

I wouldn't even make an excuse, I just wouldn't reply but then I'm incredibly anti-social and hate organised fun and meet ups!

Not feeling well, I'm too tired or just say you don't want too. It's really that simple.

It's not compulsory! A lot of people really value having a network of people going through the same major life change. If that's not you, then don't go, but don't let anxiety stop you if you like them and could use a network. Those people I met in the group were so valued by me at the time, from babies aged 0-5.

You're over thinking this.

As per PP - apologies I can no longer make it, have a great time.
