First time in laws and my family were ringing every day from the second I found out, to ask how I was feeling, see if we needed anything etc.

This time, even when I go round no one says 'oh how are you feeling?' everyone forgets I'm pregnant and if I say I can't have something because I'm pregnant they roll their eyes and huff and puff. Had a row with dad because he started seeing his arse because I wouldn't eat prawns when we were in a foreign country. He gets very angry if I say I can't do something or I feel sick or anything. So I don't mention it at all.

DH's family are constantly trying to get me to drink. At my hen night they kept begging me to drink even though they'd promised DH they'd keep an eye on me and keep me safe- they left me somewhere and I had to go and get a taxi home on my own (we were away for my hen do so I didn't know where I was). On my wedding night they kept asking me to drink saying they got drunk when they were pregnant etc. When I go to MILs, she always offers me wine and when I say I can't she says 'just a couple' or 'I'll put lemonade in it'. I'm not a big drinker when I'm not pregnant, so why would I drink now?

Hmm... Just feel a bit down I'm 15 weeks now and yesterday my sister asked how I was. I cried because she's the first person to ask me all pregnancy.

Yesterday, had a row with DH as he said I 'use' pregnancy and 'feeling sick' to get my own way (just because the heater blasting in my face was making me feel really sick) and that I'm 'always poorly'. Well yes I am. He did apologise afterwards and said he just was snapping at me because he had a bad headache.

But even so... it just feels like I'm a burden to everyone really. If I ask for a little help with anything, everyone says no or acts like I've asked for a mammoth favour when it's something tiny.

oh dear sounds like she has huge problems around it, probably best to just not let it bother you, as I'm sure you worked out for yourself!
at too expensive though - I could understand the small family do thing (although before that you were close enough to be a bridesmaid!!) but surely the money thing is only your concern (unless she was having it on the moon or something!)
