So I apparently had a hormonal break down today. I was at DH's throat ALL day! I feel terrible now because we ended up missing our friend's 30th b-day party, but I was in no shape to be around anyone. To top it off, we ended up running out to grab something to eat and stop at the grocery store, and we ran into a few other friends that had been at the b-day party. DH is all worried about how they are going to react to the fact that we didn't show up to the party. I told him they have 2 kids and the wife should understand. I just feel horrible and I hope they really do understand. It wasn't intentional, I just seriously could not function today. I think I cried 90% of the day away.
Its ok, trust me they will understand if she has had 2 children of her own. For now you just need to take care of yourself and your baby. Get to feeling better soon.
Just be honest and tell her how bad off you were. If she truly is a friend, she will not only understand, but offer to help you out in some way. Hang in there...pregnancy is a crazy ride!
it's just crazy to me, because with my previous 2 pregnancies, I was never happier. I didn't have the hormonal issues. Today, we were actually driving to the party and turned around to go home because I knew I couldn't handle it.
Ive never had any hormonal issues when pg, but im always pretty bad when im expecting af. I would just ring your friend and say that your really sorry you didnt end up going and just explain to her how you felt. Im sure she will understand.
Don't kick yourself over missing the party. You don't need guilt on top of feeling rotten generally! Besides, good friends always miss you in the good way ("Wish we could see so&so"), not the bad way ("Why didn't so&so bother to come?")
sorry you had a crappy emotional-roller coaster of a day! Hopefully today will be much better for you. Sometimes "those" days are just too emotionally charged to go anywhere.... DH and I have quite a few of those, and I find after crying the day away, and then a good sleep, I'm usually more balanced the next day or so after....
*hugs* Don't be hard on yourself about this, it does happen!

We are all intitled to our bad days and it is understandable. I would not worry about it. Your friends will/should understand. Take a breath and I hope today is better for you!
I am so sorry you had a hard day. I would apologize for missing the party and if she is a true friend they will truly understand why you couldn't make it. I hope you feel better soon.
