Making holiday plans « Back to Group Discussions

We have had a few family get togethers this passed weekend that had me full of tension and anxiety.  I get nervous that my nausea is going to make me late/miss/or even disrupt the event or party.   I survived this weekend, but I am thinking that this December will need to have a schedule that is much more free than I have ever had for us.  I want to be able to not have this anxiety with the nausea, this is wishful thinking right???

nausea is a concern, true, but i'm far more nervous about my pregnancy MOUTH. i run so hot, especially since nobody knows yet or for the foreseeable i'm going to have a hell of a time keeping my hurt little feelings to myself. i've already blown up a few times. not like my family doesn't deserve it :o can't i just skip this year?

I guess I've never worried about that.  I excuse myself, throw up, and come back!  I've been pregnant through many holidays though...so I'm well practiced at this part! :(

Our extended family knows about the pregnancy and I actually really enjoy visiting. DD has grandparents to play with and DH can potty/change her as needed. I can relax a bit and have been known to take a quick nap when I absolutely had to. It would definitely depend on the family dynamic but for me these get togethers mean I get to relax, see DD have a ball with the relatives and enjoy a home cooked meal I didn't have to slave over. The full on ickiness/extreme fatigue of the first trimester JUST hit me last night so I very much look forward to the reprieve
