3rd Trimester

flaky friends?

so, i am wondering if anyone else has had any situations like this. someone i thought was a very good friend of mine has totally sketched out on me in my pregnancy. i did get it out of her that she thinks i have changed throughout my pregnancy and i am not the same "sweet" person i was before.

a little background: i have been nauseated from the start, extremely extremely tired, in the hospital 3 times for spotting (that turned out ok luckily) with some bedrest, and have been barely able to function half the time. i had to quit my on the feet job around 24 weeks. i am soooo happy we are having twins, but i am hating being pregnant.

anyhow, this "friend" has never been pregnant and thinks its going to be the most wonderful thing ever and cant wait to be pregnant. she hasnt given a crap about how i am doing, while every single person i know (even not that well) is totally understanding and takes care of me in every way possible. but about me changing, of course i have because i am full of hormones and a huge belly! shes acting like i am going to be like this forever! she seems to have only hung in as a "friend" until my baby shower because she was helping host it. now, shes moved on... and i am hurt.

so--- what is up with this behavior? is it common? how to deal?

  • That's really crappy of her. Some people just don't understand things until they go through them. If she's worth it, then just shake it off and see if things get better after your LO is here. Or talk to her and tell her how much this is hurting you. If she's not worth it, don't do anything.

  • Eek - you don't need friends who make you feel worse about yourself. Sounds like she's got her own issues to deal with.?
