Letting people down - 4 weeks pregnant

Hi guys,
So I recently found out I was pregnant a few days ago after ‘kind of’ trying for the past two months. Obviously I am over the moon but I’ve already started to get worried and anxious about social events I already have planned.

Tonight I’m feeling extremely low as I am meant to be going to a local beer festival with family and friends tomorrow. They are texting me asking me what I’m bringing to the picnic etc, when I’ve already decided I am going to pull a sickie and leave my partner to go by himself. For someone who has always enjoyed a beer I can’t see how I can get away with not drinking. If it was a pub or bar I could get away with it, but when all there is is kegs of beer I’m not sure how I can. I was so looking forward to going, and I just feel like I’m letting people down....

I’ve also got a weekend trip planned to Amsterdam with another couple in the summer. Last night we were talking about alll the things we were going to do, but inside I knew full well I wouldn’t be able to do half of them. I kind of feel I’ve tricked them into a boring weekend that they don’t know about yet?!

I know I shouldn’t think too much about other people right now, but it’s really getting me down.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom to get past this feeling?

Kx

Say you have Acid reflux and cutting back to help the Omeperazole kick in. It's painful as hell and give you a solid excuse.
