I'm entering the third trimester now and suddenly I am turning into a homebody. I haven't been posting a lot on here or my facebook account and am turning down offers to do things. This will be my first homebirth and I have been mulling over my last two hospital births a lot more lately. I feel like this is way too soon to be here already, 90 days or so until my edd. I don't feel like good company either because I don't say much. I feel bad that one of my friends recently announced her pregnancy, but I am so focused on myself that I haven't talked much with her about it.

I have been feeling that way for awhile but i decided to turn it all around once i found myself getting really depressed. I don't have a partner so without any adult interaction i was going crazy with all of my little kids. I slowly started doing one small outing a day and now i try to do a playgroup or something with another mom at least a few times a day. I think it is fine to be a homebody while pregnant. As long as it agrees with you.

I have definitely been feeling this way lately. I have been over the Facebook thing for a while now, but I find myself becoming more and more intolerant of my friends and DH (especially my DH, but things have been kind of rocky there for quite some time).

I think this is the time to really focus inward and conquer our fears - try to find peace wherever we can. If that means being a little cranky or standoffish every now and again (or every day, as the case may be!) then that's okay. Between the hormones, the growing belly (and other body parts), the preparations for the baby and having to deal with society in general, we deserve a break! Who can blame us for being a little weird these days, right?

I feel this way the whole time I am pregnant. It has been really hard this time around because my best friend lives in our basement and I have two little guys wanting to snuggle with me all day long. AH! An isolation tank sounds fabulous right now...

I have been like this for a while... and the more pregnant I get, the more introverted I am becoming. Because I just can't handle interacting with people. It seems like more stress than it is worth. This is starting to carry over to the internet too... I wonder how many RL friends I will have left when I am done with this pregnancy.

I've been like this for awhile too. I just want my space. I feel like I have so much on my plate already that I resent others when they try to heap more upon me, good intentions or not!

why yes. ridiculously so.

in fact, i cried yesterday watching the trailer for the rock documentary Anvil- the story of Anvil. now THAT's hormonal.

I'm always like this, pg or not. Drives my mom crazy because her friends will invite her somewhere and say, "bring your daughter too" and I just won't go... too mentally exhausting to carry on conversations with people.

I'm feeling this way too. I think part of it is that I feel tired from being so big, so don't go out much. And the other part is that I've still been feeling really down about boy #3 and can't seem to get over this slump, so I've been feeling anti-social and not wanting to hang out with my friends who, mostly have girls.
