First time pregnant - Just needing to vent
My partner (31M) and I (32F) just found out we're going to have a baby. We love each other very much and are very much in this together but this came as a massive shock to both of us.
He's fantastic. This movie-esque man you'd want to raise a child with, and has been absolutely nothing but supportive. None of my qualms surround him. Physically, I've been doing pretty well too. I'm just past the 6 week mark (I think; first ultrasound is in 10 days) and no nausea (yet) and just some tenderness and severe fatigue.
But I need advice, or to vent and complain, or something about the overwhelming feeling that I can't do anything that I enjoy. Alcohol was easy to cut, my body doesn't want it, but all the food limitations and the beverage limitations (I can't even have my sleepy tea??) and I'm so TIRED I feel like I can't keep up with social events. I was an extremely social girl. We threw parties, we were invited to many parties, we went out every weekend (we live in a tourist town where it's Party Central mostly always, and we thrive as city people). I've found some solace in books and television. He's bought us some video games and board games to play together. I don't mind being pregnant (so far) but please...for the love of god, how did you guys adapt to being so limited?
I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing - I just want any tips/tricks on how to entertain myself, adapt to a quiet life overnight, and/or feel like you're getting a nice treat when it seems everything good is bad. It's only been just over a week since I've found out, and 9 months is a long road!
