Has anyone else become less social since becoming pregnant?

Question

I hate being around people. My husband is the only person I can really tolerate. Even talking to people on the phone or over text I get annoyed so easily. Is anyone going through this? I feel so antisocial.

Answer

I am in the same boat... I think I just want to conserve energy for the essential stuff, like work and sleep :)

Answer

I can definitely relate to this!
​
​Just want my partner with me all the time...

Answer

I'm so tired. I've never been a one for getting much sleep but I've been unable to stay up past 10. I'm going out tonight and I'm dreading it :( I've also noticed I'm really really angry. I don't have much patience anyway but I've hint none now. Is that normal?

Answer

I can totally relate. I get really annoyed and quiet when we go out to dinners with friends. The last dinner I went two involved 2 bottles of wine, pointless chit chat over 3 hours in a uncomfortable chair. Lots of fun for me right? After that I've been denying all invites. My husband is the only person I want to be around. I feel bad sometimes cause I don't want to invite anybody over to our house cause it's exhausting and people tend to stay over way too long.

Answer

Yes, I've become less tolerant of things that use to slightly annoy me. For example, yesterday at a BBQ I made an actual effort to avoid being near 2 people there that bug me due to being so self involved. I purposefully stayed with and talked to others I know I like. I'm also very happy when my bf says it's him and the boys doing something as this is a green light for me to stay home and get an early night.

Answer

I'm so glad I saw this post. I was beginning to think I was experiencing depression. I am to the point where it is so hard for me to spend more than an hour with someone because I get so tired/nauseas. I don't even feel like going to work because I just want to be free to do my own thing (aka sleep). I'm 10 w 4 d and have heard that all this changes in the second trimester. I really hope so because I don't feel like myself at all, and though I like to hibernate from people sometimes, I don't really want to turn into a recluse lol

Answer

I know exactly how you feel. DH is always asking if we can go out and I just crawl up in bed and refuse. When we actually do go out and his friends come along I'm so sassy I probably sound horrible. And sometimes I can't even deal with him. I'm so happy I'm not alone lol. Good luck with the engagement party!
