Friendship changes
I'm noticing one of my good friends has been distant with me throughout this pregnancy. She is married, but is not wanting children just yet. I try not to talk about it too much and make sure I am showing I am still interested in her life, however she doesn't ever ask me about it and seems unsympathetic when I'm feeling tired and can't go out in the evenings. Has anyone else had this? I'm finding it quite upsetting, but also aware it could be the hormones.

Yes you definitely more sensitive to people..just tell her how u feel..u will feel better than
She might be dealing with issues you don’t know about ie struggling to get pregnant or infertility that she doesn’t want to share. But equally I’d say pre my first pregnancy I wasn’t a great friend to pregnant friends as I didn’t understand. Wasn’t intentional I just didn’t realise how hard/tiring/stressful it could be. Same is true in the postpartnum period. My next friend to have a baby will have a far better experience from me I can guarantee that.
I agree also.. you don't know peoples lives xx

I have similar. Some people genuinely struggle to make conversation having not experienced pregnancy before. I figured I’d see how things go once bub is here. No point worrying about things outside of your control right now - you’re doing a fab job no doubt!
