I don’t want to go out

I’m 20 weeks pregnant. Other than still getting abit of sickness and fatigue I feel generally okay. I’m still managing to work my 9-5 fine, but socialising or going out seems like a chore. I’m not anxious or depressed, I just don’t have any want to go out and do anything or talk to anyone, replying to messages has even become a chore. Yet I’m bored. Is this normal? 🙃

Do you have a partner? There’s a study that shows it’s quite normal to want to isolate yourself slightly while pregnant, especially with a partner. My partner is a very sociable person but since i’ve been pregnant he’s been much more of a homebody and we just spend most of our time together now

Yeah, i understand you. I expirienced the same.. Everything seemed boring and a feel of not wanting to do anything, but also bored and not sure of what to do and also feeling tired and wanting to rest.. I don't know how to explain it.

@Katie yeah I do, that’s a good point. I think maybe I’m just content at home especially when he’s here. I just have 0 urge to want to do much else or socialise at all 🙈 I feel so antisocial and boring

@Luna literally exactly how I feel 🙈

Yeah i’ve been the exact same the whole time, i’m happy just staying home growing my baby😂 i feel so lonely and bored when my partner is in work though

@Katie same. This is what made me post I think. My partner is in work today. I just feel like a couch potato bored out of my mind. But even the thought of walking the dog and peeling myself off the sofa sounds to much to ask of me 🤣🙈

Yeah i literally sit and watch criminal minds all day while he’s in work😂 i literally can’t walk the dogs at the moment especially not on my own so i do that when he’s home, thankfully he’s off today with it being a weekend but we’re both i’ll so just stuck on the sofa again😂. Like i’m bored but i’m happy & content where i am, makes no sense

Literally the same - can’t think of anything worse than going out and socialising 😂😂😂

Hey, it's totally normal to feel that way during pregnancy, especially with the sickness and fatigue. Your body is going through a lot of changes, so it's okay to feel a bit withdrawn and not up for socialising. Just make sure to take care of yourself and listen to what your body needs.
