Boring??

[nellybelly]

I know this is a bit of an odd post as I'm so happy to be pregnant and wouldn't change things for the world, but since I had a positive pregnancy test I've given up drinking alcohol completely. I used to have the odd glass of wine in the week, and on the rare occasions me and my boyf went out while my ex had the kids we'd have a few drinks. But now I'm so knackered in the evening (even though I'm almost 16 weeks) we don't go out, and I'm not drinking, I just feel so boring somehow. I feel like all I talk about is the baby, or how grotty I feel even though I try to make a conscious effort not to drone on, and I just don't seem to have much energy for anything. I've tried to think of ways of spending the evening instead of nodding off in front of the telly but can't seem to come up with anything original! Just wondered if anyone else felt like this, and/or had any suggestions?? I just feel like I just want to relax, and let my hair down once in a while but don't know how to?!! (pathetic I know!!)

Nellybelly, I hear what your saying loud and clear! I'm almost 18 weeks and have started to feel human again. I've had no energy, felt really unmotivated and as you put it been quite boring. It does pass, I slept when I was tired and did not do much at all and was usually in bed for 8.30pm but now can stay up beyond 10pm . You'll feel better soon I'm sure

ahhhh im so glad im not alone, i think we should start a club! i see being able to stay awake till 10.30 as an achivement, and everything i do atm seems to be baby related lol

dont worry hun your not boring its nature, just imagine what your body is going through to make this little baby, its amazing really, at about 23 weeks you should start to pick up again and have a bit more energy but it doesnt last unfortunately so make the most of it while you have it.

You sound just like me! Im definitely better than I was, can stay up until abouit 11.30 now if had a reasonable nights sleep the night before, but still not back to pre-pregnancy energy levels, and dont have as much inclination to go out like I did before getting pregnant. I dont worry about it anymore tho- my OH is happy to curl up with a DVD and wont be out much once little one arrives so just going witht the floe and enjoying chilling out!

I think you should be proud to be boring!! I am, I don't drink, don't smoke, hardly go out, enjoying putting my feet up and above all enjoying talking about my little baby!! If people think that's boring them I am extremely happy to be a boring person!!!!!!
