Anyone else pregnant and feeling like a social outcast?

[MarkStretch]

My team at work go for drinks every Friday after work. I have not been invited. On any Friday.

I asked them why and they said 'Oh well you're pregnant so we thought you wouldn't want to come...'

I told DH about this and he said 'Well it must be because you're pregnant...'

Friend and I have been invited to an old school friends wedding. I ring her to tell her and she says 'Well, are you sure you should go, you'll be 32 weeks by then...'

WHAT?!?!

DO YOU THINK I HAVE TO STAY IN THE HOUSE AT ALL TIMES?!?!

AM I NOT WORTHY OF THE ODD SOCIAL OCCASION NOW JUST BECAUSE I AM PREGNANT?!?!

I am still (just) capable of an adult conversation, I like going out, I like being around people! I am just pregnant!

WHAT!?! Now I am a social outcast on here too!

No one wants to talk to a fat hormonal pregnant lady!

What was that? Did someone say somathing?

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Chill!

How pg are you love?

25 weeks tomorrow.

And socially inept.

I know they all mean well but it's just irritating me.

Have any of them go tsmall children? DO they know you are still a Person now you are pregnant?

I'm being a moody old cow.

Not many of them have children, very few in fact.

It will only get worse when I have a newborn to look after! Don't get me wrong I am thrilled to be pregnant, it just seems other people hover around you waiting for you to cry or burst or something.

It would be very annoying.
My friend was treated as if she was made of glass by her dh when she was pregnant.
My dh rather went the other way...

Me me me!! my so called friends have not invited me out once since finding out im pg even worse my so called best friend has found herself another best friend to go out shopping with etc even going as far as to hide it she goes to "thingys to do thingy" {fume fume} im now invisible!

Ps yay seasonal smileys are back

dam

Do they not realise you need to go out now while you still can?!?

Apparenty not, {wondering if im only any fun with a drink in hand}

Oh God yes. I'm 16 weeks & nobody wants to even talk to me, let alone invite me out anywhere, because what can they possibly talk to me about? Surely I'm only going to bore them about pelvic floor exercises & flatulence. Pregnancy is shockingly lonely. I expected pretty much everything I've experienced so far, but nobody warned me that I'd become a social pariah.

Look, it's because your pelvic floor is so trashed that you constantly smell of wee, okay? Obviously no one wants to tell you.

(or maybe it's just me that hasn't kept up with those pelvic floor exercises)

Yeah? Well... Well... They look like wee! Yeah! Take that!

In a way I'm glad to hear this is happening to others as I thought I was the only one!!

I got in from work on Thursday and amended my status to say "I must be wearing that invisibility cloak again"

I think I have the opposite problem - invited out for friend's birthday on a MONDAY night for a curry (which disagrees with me badly at the best of times). Oh well, at least I can use being pregnant as an excuse

If its any consolation Markstretch, its their loss! Also, I went out to Work drinks last Thursday for our department and managed to last all of 30 minutes (whoo-hoo); bar was packed, really hot and we were crammed in like sardines with nowhere to sit or put coats etc. and the drinks, soft or alcoholic, were not exactly free flowing as the bar, one of those post office crowd bars, was too busy for the waitresses to keep the flow up properly - I knew when I started see stars in front of my eyes it was time to call it a day. Think my colleagues were quite jealous that I had a good excuse to excuse myself!

Going to a wedding at 32 weeks, sounds like madness to me .
OP: I'd send out an email round your office saying that as there aren't any work nights out anymore you thought you had better organise your own. But fail to invite a few people because you 'didn't think they would want to go'.

CookieMonster, you made me giggle
