tiggerlix · Dec 19th, 2009, 11:15 AM

You no im sooo very happy im pregnant again(number 6

)But what a time to be pregnant....over xmas.Got to admitt i can be a party animal at times and love nothing more than to get cheery and merry over xmas

.What with family coming down from up country whom all like a good ole merry time at xmas,im gunna be stuck as soba as a judge

I probably wont enjoy the atmosphere of the sherry and brandy and the irish coffees on xmas day

as i wont be able to join in.Im gettn over weight and clothes not fitting.Bet il be stuck in a corner with a table full of pies

How can i enjoy the atmosphere when so many family members will be gettn tipsey and merry?
Im kinda dreading it.
Are you all going to enjoy your xmas day with merry people around you?
we have a large family and although were not all drinkers we do celebrate major holidays.

Do they know you're pregant? I'm more concerned about people guessing the minute I say no to a drink! We are all drinkers, but I don't mind not drinking.

Being pregnant is far more exciting - Xmas is just one day!!

I'm sure once they know you'll be the focus of all the fun anyway!

I don't drink much anyway, especially over christmas and so it won't be a problem for me thankfully. Hope you get through it ok x

We had our xmas work dinner recently and I have to say I didn't miss the drink at all, which coming from me is a big deal as I do like a drink and am normally at the centre of frivolities! It was actually quite weird watching everyone else get drunk, but as they had just found out my news I was well looked after and pretty much centre of attention anyway so I don't feel like I was left out at all! I'm sure once your family known they'll be far more interested in your news and you'll be so busy talking about your bubs you won't even miss the drink!

This is going to be my second Christmas season in a row being pregnant... I just keep telling myself "wait until NEXT Christmas! I'll be making up for it!". When it got really tough, I'd just have myself a "virgin" version of a drink... like a non-alcoholic margarita, strawberry daquiri or a bloody mary. And I let myself indulge in the food without a bit of guilt...

Ha ha I know what you mean!!

Imaparty animal tooand like a tipple or two...especially at xmas. Fortunately for me though, I can honestly say not drinking hasnt bothered me one bit which Im really surprised at. I will have a couple of drinks though with dinner so wont feel like im missing out that much...but I really could take it or leave it.
