feeling left out...

I know im just feeling sorry for myself but i feel so left out today.. im six n a half weeks so we haven't told anyone yet and dont plan to for a few more.. my boyfriend thinks ill tell my best friend if im alone with her so i haven't seen her in a couple weeks. He is out with his friends today and im at home being bored and feeling sad. Everyone is doing something and i cant do anything bc i might get questioned to why i dont want to get a drink or something.. i know its a lame reason to feel sorry for myself but i feel like this is going to be another long six weeks for me.. is anyone else in this situation?

I just told my parents last night and I'm finishing my first trimester.  I felt like until I told them I had to avoid them because I was too scared of being found out before I was ready to drop the bomb on them.  Your friends will support you and be so happy for you!  For your sake I would highly recommend telling your best friend so you can have someone you love to confide in it'll take a huge load off your shoulder dear.

I am 19weeks and i always feel left out. And when i go out people act different cause im pregnant. I always feel like everyones staring at my belly... Im not ashamed that im pregnant, i just want to feel normal when i go out... Yanno? But all i can really say it just try to have fun... Maybe have a few close friends over just to hang, watch movies and eat ice cream(:

I totally understand. Don't want to cause trouble for you but having at least one person to talk to besides your boyfriend really helps.  Maybe talk to him again about it? We waited to tell everyone but I did tell a couple really close friends.  Either way just remember to take it one day at a time.  It's slow as molasses but than over before you know it. Try to do little fun things.  I miss going out drinking with my husband sometimes, so last night he had a couple drinks and I had a fried pickle and ginger ale lol yeah I felt a little silly but you know what it was so fun to just be out with him I didn't care one bit if anyone could tell I wasn't drinking. I was laughing and just enjoying my husband's company that's the real reason to go out anyways.

I don't see any reason why you can't at least tell your best friend! I bet it would help to have her to talk to

I'm 7 weeks and I feel ya. I really want to stay home tho just to relax. I am a bartender and people ask me what's new or if I want a shot. I just say no. If someone asks you, just say you are cutting back on drinking just to be more healthy. I mean if you were born in 89, we are the same age. You're old enough to say you are bettering yourself by not drinking. Still have fun!
