Unusual for me to be making so many new threads but I'm in a bit of a tizz trying to figure out what to do.
Tonight is one of my closest friend's 18th birthday party, it's in a pub not far from where I am and it's mostly her family that is going.
We have seperate groups of friends (as she is at college now) so all of her friends that she has invited are strangers to me.
Also, of the mutual friends that are going, one is the cousin of my OH's ex-fiance, and she will no doubt be taking her with her.
I was going to go regardless, and enjoy the party anyway - as it's not like I have to sit with or even talk to his ex (although the fact the two of them would be in the same place isn't a very nice thought for me).
However, I have got a major headache, right behind my eyes - not sure if that's called a migraine, but whatever
It really hurts, and bubs keeps moving in awkward ways and hurting me. Add that to the fact that my feet are in agony if I stand for more than five minutes (I know I could sit at the party but I don't want to look like the only loser not dancing).
I don't want to let my friend down, but I really don't think I can cope with going, especially if OH's ex might be there (I think it may anger/upset me too much, ah the joys of pregnancy hormones!).
Also, I have no money as it's all went on bubs and a couple of Christmas things... So I haven't got her a card or a present yet, and you can't really turn up to a party empty handed can you?
So I was wondering, should I go anyway, or should I leave it and take her out for lunch next week or something (we loves our food).
I'd feel much more comfortable getting to go out shopping and out for lunch with her and getting a good chance to catch up than sit in the pub with lots of people I don't know and a major headache (which will no doubt be worsened by the music).
What do you girls think? Do you think she'll be mad at me for not going, or do you think she'll understand since I'm pregnant lol ? xx
