I have two separate family birthday meals out coming up this weekend and I don’t want to go to either because I’m scared of catching covid. I’m hearing of so many cases at the moment and want to wait until I’ve had my jab to do big group things at restaurants pubs etc.
Do I tell the truth about my covid anxiety or make something up about not being well?!

Definitely just tell them them the truth, if u don’t feel comfortable and it will make you anxious or stressed worrying about it I defo wouldn’t go. The people that care will understand your decision x

Just say your not feeling well yourself if you don't want to explain worried even thoyits totally understandable you don't want to get ill I'm I'll right now and wish I wasn't don't risk it you will be annoyed at yourself if you go and then get sick 😷 x

I’ve got an awful head cold just now and it’s horrible so totally get you not wanting to go. I’d just be honest and say you don’t want to go with the covid cases on the rise and would rather be careful 🙂 x
Thank you everyone, it’s good to know I’m not the only one feeling like this!

this is so interesting, i genuinely didn’t realise people were still worried about it

I’d be honest. Friends and family will understand your anxiousness about it for you and your baby. 😊

I absolutely understand not wanted to get ill in the third trimester & safe guarding yourself & your baby against colds & flues is very sensible 💜
