Hiya, im 20 and 40wks pregnant with my first child and i do understand where your coming from. My fiance likes to go out with his brothers & friends - he doesnt so much now im so close to my due date but i never felt like going with because i have been suffering from really bad back pains etc.. But does your partner ask if you would like to go out with him, or are you still able to go out with your own friends?
WHen he used to say he was going out after work i did used to get upset but now we make a deal, like if he goes out straight away which will be about 5pm, then he should be home by 10 or 11 to spend some time together before bed. And it works.. I know that it sounds daft but if men know that your going to kick uo a fuss they stay out longer, so i pretend like im not bothered and he comes home earlier cos he says he misses me :)
hope this helps hun, just have a word with him on a night when you are both staying in and just let him know whats going on in your head and get everything off your chest. A reason you might get upset is cos of your hormnes, but he will understand that :-D xx

i know exactly how you feel. i am 12 weeks pregnant and i have felt like this for weeks. my boyfriend lives with me at home and he is there almost every night with me. but even when he is late home or goes for a drink with friends or family i just burst into tears and feel silly telling him i dont want him to leave me alone in the house so we just end up arguing, he goes out then i cry even more. it a vicious circle. but at only 12 weeks i know iv got the worst to come.
Your not alone!!.

Hi,I'm 40 weeks prenant and now how you feel. YOU'RE NOT ALONE. I foud out I was pregnant in between Christmas and New Year so there was lots of parties I didn't go to as I couldn't drink and didn't want to give the secret away till I was 3 months. So my partner went and left me to go out almost twice a week every week. I told him I didn't mind but as soon as he left I would cry. Eventually I spoke to him about it. He didn't know how much it upset me so after that he has hardly left my side at nights. The blues are normal. I still have them. If you need anything just ask. x
