To not want to go out to pubs late while pregnant

[Lilybow]

I've been invited out to bars this evening with hubby and friends, they're all planning to get drunk. I don't care at all that hubby is drinking, but if I'm honest I just don't want to go at all and would rather he just went. I'd rather stay at home even though I know it's dull and unlike unlike.

I'm 8 and a bit weeks pregnant and been bad with nausea and tiredness so far, today I'm feeling a lot better but I just don't want to go out to loud bars surrounded by drunk people and that's the intention tonight - get smashed. Only hubby knows I'm pregnant too which makes it more awkward I'm not drinking.

Am I boring or should I just suck it up and be social?

Stay home, eat crap food and watch tele! Enjoy some peace and quiet. Pubs are not fun when you can't drink x

I wouldn’t go if I didn’t feel like it. There’s nothing worse than being sober surrounded by drunk people.
Have a good night in, enjoy.

I would 100% be getting cosy with my favourite snacks and relaxing! You are growing a human and deserve time to yourself 🥰 There will be lots of moments where you can socialise that doesn't include drinking!

It sounds like your husband will totally understand and if you haven't told all of your friends going, I'm sure he can say you're under the weather. Of course if you want to go, head along and then call it a night when you're ready @Lilybow x

You have the best reason not to gp! Don't underestimate those first few months.

If you don't feel up to it don't go

Don't go
There will possibly be weird hassle about you not drinking as well
Say migraine so no one panics you've got covid. Sorted. No one can expect you in the pub with a migraine.

At 8 weeks I was absolutely exhausted all the time and needed both a nap in the middle of the day and to be in bed by 9. Don't go.

To be fair, staying in on my own, with a nice bath, clean pyjamas and bedding sounds like heaven on earth at the moment!
I'm sure your husband will be happy enough going out with his friends without you?
Hope you've made the decision that was right for you

Urgh definitely stay home, I couldn’t think of anything worse when 8 weeks pregnant!

Stayed at home all comfy and definitely made the right decision. I'm exhausted I couldn't hack a night out!

Ha great decision. In my first pregnancy (admittedly we already had more of a social life then and was pre Covid) I always used to go out to parties and pub crawls etc with DH and always ended up being the driver as well - I offered, and absolutely regretted it every time, so annoying being around drunk people when your sober and always caused tension between me and DH as he was drunk and wanting to stay and I always wanted to go home. This time round learnt my lesson and refuse all social occasions like that haha. Although there haven’t been as many of them to turn down this time round!
