pushing everyone away...

I'm 11+ weeks with twins. This isn't my first pregnancy, and both others were singles and went absolutely swimmingly!  This time around, not so lucky, actually it's been dreadful. Sick, tired, and worst of all I don't want to talk to anyone. My husband and kids are the only people I talk to, my mom on occasion but she works with with babies and is easy to ask questions to.  I have clammed up from everyone, his parents, our siblings, and probably worst of all my best friend who I've considered to be closer to than my own blood.  Now I think about calling her and can't even think of what to say. She already asked me what's up and I told her I just don't talk to anyone. I know she takes it as insulting. I still love her. I don't want to lose our friendship as she is really the only friend I've had outside of hubby.  
Had anyone been here before? Suggestions?  The whole just pick up the phone and explain doesn't work. I'm  too irritable and I guess scared of pissing everyone off.

Honestly I think its the second pregnancy lol when I was pregnant with my son I was out going and talked to everyone but now I'm 38 wks 6 days and 2 days before my lil girl comes by c section this whole pregnancy I've noticed that I talk to my son and my fiance ...it seems like everyone is pushing me away and have no desire to even come around to even talk so its best to keep to myself to myself and just be around the 2 people who truly care and want to talk

I am the same way. My first pregnancy was beautiful. This one! I can't say the same. I don't want to be bothered with anyone; not even my husband sometime. Not to mention my best friend and brother has fallen in love and they think I'm wierded out about it, because I never want them around, and I keep telling them it's my hormones! I just don't want to be bothered. But I believe once the pregnancy is over everyone will understand, it wasn't really us lol
