I hate not looking pregnant..

I'm the first out of Al my friends to get pregnant. we're all in our early 20s and still like to have fun. today I kinda realized that my friends and even strangers don't take into consideration that i'm pregnant. I'm only 9 Weeks and the only thing that had gotten huge is my boobs..i went to a card game tournament that my boyfriend was in. I was having horrible nausea and only went to support my boyfriend. I made sure not to put my burdens on anyone..but I kept getting pushed into things I didn't want to do. They signed me up for the tournament but I dropped out because just seeing and thinking about cards made me Puke..then my friends got upset because I was bumming everyone out. Today it wasnt any better..i was nauseated all day..then my friend came over in her swim suit and assumed I was up for swimming..i went because she drove ask that way..at the pool another friend pushed me in..which I let him have it! I'm only 9 Weeks, i'm scared to death about everything, and out doesn't help when I hear "you don't look pregnant.." Especially from my guy friends who are to rough. My boyfriend had to tell one of our friends he couldn't come over any more because he tried tickeling my feet and ended up falling on me with his elbow drilled in my gut. He kept trying out throughout the night. I'm not sure what to do..i always heard that people lose friends..but they're around a little bit to much and want me to do all these things that i'm just to tired to do..anyone have these problems?

I kind of had the same expirience and it's extremely sad how they seems to not take u into consideration. In my case I cut most of them off because if you don't care about my child then u don't care about me, I felt they were not my friends. It's so annoying!

I know how you feel. I have pretty much lost all of my friends. Some because they don't agree that I am unmarried & pregnant, some because they are angry I'm pregnant and they can't seem to get pregnant, & others because they were not understanding about me being pregnant. Hopefully you'll have better luck with your friends. I would let them know how you feel tho. It's tough to say the least but as long as you have some support system you should get thru just fine. Try not to stress too much about it.

I got pregnant with my first at 20 I had one girlfriend that happened to get pregnant at the same time (her son was born less than 3 weeks before mine) so that was a saving grace for me. I am certainly not making excuses for your friends but there are a couple factors. You are overly protective of your belly (we all are lol) it doesn't occur to use how much it's actually going to take to hurt our babies. I had my appendix removed and then a dog jumped on my stomach while I was still recovering at 11 weeks with my son and he is just fine. Also it's harder for other people to understand what you're feeling until they see that change in you to them you are the same old you. Try to be patient and make sure to explain to them you're tired or sick to your stomach and some of them will come around unfotunately others will have to go. Good luck babe

To me it seems like u might lose alot of friends over this. They dont seem to be considerate of ur pregnancy at all and they r just thinking about there selves and having fun. Even tho they try to include u the fact that she would ask u to miss ur doctors appointment to hang out with her shows they dont care about ur pregnancy. You shouldnt do things u dont want to just to please friends who wont even be considerate to u or how u feel.
