next question....socializing

jarbatz

Are most of you ladies just as social as you were pre-pg?  

I have turned into a total hermit and have no desire to go to parties or anything like that....I know its because I just feel really big right now but I dont have a bump yet so I just look chubby.  And the fact that I can't drink is also a downer...I realize that makes me sound like a big alcoholic, which I am not but I definitely enjoyed my glass (or 3) of wine on the weekends! 

Did anyone else go into hibernation and how did DH handle it?

I tried to go into hibernation, but H would always say, well, we will just go for a little bit and we can leave whenever you want to.  And then when we got there, I usually ended up having a good time and was glad that we went.

I hear ya about the not drinking thing though.  It sucks.

It depends. I hate going to things that involve everyone drinking but me. Drunk people are annoying when you are sober and everyone thinks I am a taxicab. Plus I'm usually so beat in the evenings that I just want to curl up in the one place that I am comfy- my bed. But I still go to lots of things even though I don't feel like it because I don't want to be a total buzz kill. DH is pretty good about leaving when I've had enough.

OK good to know I am not the only one!!  

I still enjoy eating out (of course!  anything that involves eating!) but big parties where everyone is getting toasted just isn't fun for me right now...but I feel like a total wet blanket for not wanting to go and I feel guilty wanting DH to go solo....although sometimes I wish he would just offer!!  And then I get irritated when he doesn't!  I really thought he could read my mind!

Ha ha...poor DH can't win!

you know, before i got pg, i thought i would be the worst pg person and hibernate, but it was opposite.  going out was something to do.  it made time go by a bit quicker.  i'm a social drinker too and somehow, it didn't bother me.  granted, when it got late and friends were starting to act really silly, it was time to leave.  i hope when your bump really shows, you'll give it another try.

This.  I tell DH to go without me, but he just stays at home with me.

I have always been a homebody, but now I don't socialize at all.  I am just more comfortable at home!

To be honest, how can you seriuosly want wine right now? During my first trimester I was so nauseated and tired, the last thing I wanted to do was have a glass of wine! And I was like you with my glass or 3 at night. It's a small sacrifice for a huge reward :-) I did hibernate but once I hit my stride in my second trimester, both DH and I enjoyed going out and having dinner and saving money by not drinking!
