I’m due on July 9th, and lately I just don’t feel like myself socially. Before pregnancy, I loved seeing my friends, making plans, going out it used to genuinely excite me. But now… I just don’t have the energy or desire for it.
All I seem to want is to stay at home, be with my partner, and keep things really low-key. I’ve been cancelling plans a lot, and it’s starting to make me feel like a bad friend or like I’m being selfish. I do love my friends, nothing has changed in that sense I just don’t feel up to socialising at all.
I’m also just so exhausted all the time, and part of me worries I’m isolating myself or that something’s wrong with me.
Has anyone else felt like this during pregnancy? Is this normal? I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s gone through something similar 🤍

Of course, your priorities have now changed. I lost friends when I became pregnant both times because I was no longer a “party friend” but you are growing a human and it’s tiring so you do you! Enjoy the pregnancy and the quiet X

I’ve felt exactly like this! My first pregnancy I was still my social self. This time round, I cannot think of anything worse than seeing people 😂 feel like such a grumpy cow, luckily I’ve been really open with my friends and they understand x
