hi everyone,

just a question i hope hasn't been covered before... can anyone suggest things to do whilst being pregnant?? this is mine and DH's first baby. we got married in sepember '04 and it's all happening pretty quickly.. it feels like one minute we're out most weekends, hanging out at the local pub, club, karaoke or nightclub.. and the next minute we're sooo settled down and 'grown up'.

of course all our friends are still doing the thing we used to do and we can't expect them to change just because we have. the boys still call DH up on the weekends to go drinking and partying, and i just flat out can't go. seeing that it's my first pregnancy, every little thing worries me and if i can help it, i won't put bubs at any risk of anything going wrong. i can sit there and not drink but these guys don't even have the courtesy to move away a little when they're having a smoke.

which kinda leaves poor DH in the middle cause he feels like he needs to be with me and spend time with me but i also know that he craves to just go out and chill out with his friends. he works hard and is very stressed at work so i know he deserves to just let loose and go.

i don't know where i'm heading with this... last night (saturday night!) we were home watching a movie and he fell asleep around 10pm. his friends started calling around 10.30pm and he just let it ring out so they kept calling back again and again til 11.30pm. i woke DH up and asked him if he'd like to go, i'd even go with him if he wanted... but he said no and went back to sleep. after the movie finished i couldn't sleep so i read his phone msgs and he'd already organised with his mates to go out that evening!

i feel a bit torn here... cause i want him to go out and enjoy himself but i also want him to know that it's not just my pregnancy and my baby. that i'm not not going just to be difficult but i'm looking out for another person here... our baby!

anyway, my original question before i blabbed on was... can anyone suggest other things to do whilst they're pregnant that doesn't involve drinking your head off and smoking all the clean air away? dinner is good.. going to the movies are good.. but we've kind've exhausted those options now.

and just a small question on the side... am i being selfish?
