Hi everyone,
Just wondering what your thoughts are?

A couple weeks ago I offered to book a table at a tapas restaurant for my sections Christmas do.
As I would have been 30 weeks pregnant by the time the do comes around, I asked if we could have a table so I could sit and if we could go somewhere for food (always hungry 🐷😂 and also would take my mind off the fact I can't drink all night).
Not everyone wanted a big sit down meal some wanted just to drink, so between us
decided to book a table at a tapas bar so people could eat if they wanted and just pick.

I called in sick today, my boss replied and said within his text to cancel the table as they are meeting early instead at a bar and there will be no food involved.

I'm quite upset at this and must admit I had a little cry (although cry at everything lately) I've been so excited as I hardly go anywhere and had even managed to find a lovely dress for the occasion.
I now feel really excluded and think it's a bit mean.
I understand not everybody wants to eat and it's a Christmas do so everyone wants to drink I have no issues at all with that. It's just that I feel they have purposefully pushed me out.

Am I overthinking this? Am I being silly being so upset?
xx

In the kindest possible way, you are pregnant, not disabled. Pregnant women go out to bars etc all of the time & don't drink.

Just go get your hair done, paint your nails & face & wear that lovely dress you've bought yourself, pack some snacks. Stop overthinking it & go enjoy your night out. Honestly, pregnancy hormones can be a bitch, but recognise it as that & go enjoy yourself anyway.💐
