Has anyone ever lost friends after having a baby? How did you react? And did it bother you? I recently felt like a friend was purposefully avoiding contacting me or showing any interest on the news of my baby. She was very supportive during my pregnancy but became distance as soon as I was heavily pregnant, prior to my birth she had made lots of promises to visit me, months have gone by and no message or call from her.
This hurts me a lot and I do feel quite sad losing a friend who I thought cared about me.

yes! even lost a mom friend who always called me auntie to her little girl was there for majority of pregnancy up until the end and has seen my baby 3 times and he’s 5 months old it hurt at the time but i cut her off because as new moms especially first time moms we deserve consistency and people that will be there for us and our babies! it gets easier you have a little bestie for life.
can’t message incognito but if you ever want to chat just message me xx

Yess I lost someone I was friends with for 16years. Had to cut her off because I didn’t feel like she was there for me how I was when she had her kids. Consistency is defiantly key

Yep. At the time I was upset but now nearly 3 years on I think made the right decision to not contact as my life feels less toxic. It will get easier for you. U don’t need friends who make u feel the friendship is one sided
