Avoiding drinks with friends

I used to really enjoy going out, grabbing some beers, and chilling with my friends. But now I'm over it. I find myself making up excuses to stay in. It doesn't help that none of my cute clothes fit anymore and that I have headaches pretty much every day. Anyone else dread going out?

    A few minutes ago, BF said to me, "Call [friend] and see if she wants to hang out tonight". I'm like, "Why?"

    I've never been a party girl, and that particular friend is the biggest party girl I know. And all of our friends are college-aged, so there's not really much for me to do with any of them anymore. I'm happy just lying around in bed all day/night.

    Sounds like you aren't feeling well, so I can't blame you for wanting to avoid social outings. Have you asked your doctor about those headaches? Maybe there is something safe to take to give you some relief. As for the clothing...well, you're probably going to have to buy or borrow some mat clothes or bigger sizes at some point. Can you treat yourself to a couple of new items from Target or Old Navy?

    I really enjoyed seeing my girlfriends the other night. It's important to me to keep friendships with girlfriends and I don't want pregnancy to be an excuse for not putting effort into those relationships. I know it will only get harder to meet up with them after the baby comes. It certainly helped that three of my girlfriends are pregnant too, but I would have had a great time without them there. I don't need to drink to have a good time. We ate some really good food and laughed and it was nice to put some effort into my appearance for a few hours out since I really haven't much during this pregnancy.

    I guess I wouldn't mind going out with my girlfriends for lunch or dinner at a restaurant. But when my friends go out all they want to do is drink and get drunk. I can have fun without drinking, but it gets old hanging out with them after awhile. When someone will have a bbq at their house or if we all go out for a casual dinner, I'm totally down to go. And I still have them over to my house for dessert or to chill but I'm just not down to hang out at the bars anymore.
