Are my feelings valid?

Your feelings are always valid. As for this particular situation, I think it’s very common to feel this way. Pregnancy and parenthood often include both happiness and grief. You are transitioning into a new way of life, and it’s ok to miss what it once was. I always remind myself that everything is temporary too. Just because your life is a certain way now, doesn’t mean you won’t ever be able to enjoy the same things you once did. You’ll also form new experiences which bring you joy.

Girl I felt that 😭😭 100% this is the second bday I been pregnant during .

Definitely! But now my daughter is 2 and I go out about once a month and that time when I couldn’t feels like it was so short and long ago. It will pass and you’ll be out having fun again :) I’m still friends with all my friends who don’t have children and we go out together and have a great time every now and then! X

You can drink mocktails and juices and you still can go to a club or bar, I see pregnant women all the time at my clubs, just be more careful that’s all. You can still go have some fun. No one’s banning pregnant women from clubs and pubs and bars 🙂
Or maybe go to a place that has music and do dance but they also have food, like the dancing isn’t the main focus but it has cool vibes

Speaking truth, people talk about how great it is to be a parent. Uhhh, yes, n no. I feel more cons than pros. But at the end of the day, the critters are here, and I'm not the type to abandon them. Especially the way they made me suffer! I love them, but kids are something else lol

Your experience is what you make it. Do something else fun.

Your feelings are absolutely valid. Personally I think I would have changed the activity once finding out I was pregnant.

Your feelings are valid, whilst you're pregnant obviously you can't drink and I know it's no fun being the only sober one so can totally understand not having fun while they are.

However, I disagree when people say your life has changed you won't want to do that anymore etc etc, even after having a baby you are still you! It sucks while you're pregnant but once your baby is here please at least try to enjoy going out and having a laugh with your mates! Don't lose yourself in motherhood, you're more than just a mum, you're a human being with hobbies and interests, make sure you keep that!

I feel you in this! I had my baby in October and my birthday was in December so of course I was able to go out but couldn’t drink too much due to EBF. Your priorities change when you become a mother but it’s fine you do your best for your baby and once they’re here have a few drinks 😉🙏🏽🤍
