Did anyone else suddenly lose all their friends when they found out you were pregnant?

Consider it a good thing, you don’t need “friends” like that. it doesn’t get any better either when u have the baby. I had family make plans without me in a group chat that I was in & had to watch them exclude me 😟

I’m 23 and I also lost all my friends when I found out I was pregnant living in a small town where all there really is to do is go to the pub all the invites and messages stopped as soon as I could no longer drink unfortunately the only ones I still have by my side don’t live anywhere near me so I barely see them

I lost all but one and she currently lives almost 15hrs away😕

Friendships have seasons. I had my son at 32. I distanced myself from my friends who got pregnant in our 20’s- not because I didn’t support their decision or care for them any less, we just had totally different priorities, schedules, and needs. I was building my career, dating, and traveling. They were looking for houses, decorating their homes, drawing closer to other moms and family, nurturing their bodies, etc. We didn’t have a lot in common due to the different stages of life we were in. Then, when I got pregnant at 32, my single friends distanced themselves from me for the same reasons, and my friends who were then seasoned mothers came back into my life. And now, those single friends in our 30’s are now starting families are coming back into my life.

My point is that while it can be painful and certainly lonely, chances are it’s just a season and your lives will align again at some point.

Peanut is a great place to meet other moms at the same stage of life you’re in. ♥️

When you get pregnant essentially as a kid all your friends are still kids and you pretty much grew up over night and your priorities have to be different so that will definitely make everyone put you at arms length and it really sucks. They just aren't your crowd anymore 😩 it's so lonely

Pregnancy can make you the loneliest person in the world 🥺

I’m 19 and I had my son during my senior year, I had friends that were “supportive” of my pregnancy, but never really involved. Most of my old friends got caught up with college and careers, so hanging out with a mother and a baby wasn’t really the top priority. I’ve realized that making mom friends is the best thing, they’re the most understanding and play dates keep the kids occupied so you don’t have to😂 (if you don’t know many in your area, peanut is definitely helpful for making online mama friends, and I’m totally here if you need any advice!)

When I got out of high school my friends went in different directions and I didn’t reconnect with any of them till years later and I was not pregnant, people just come and go rather it college, moving etc since you guys aren’t force to be all together anymore it easy to fall off. say it’s not that common to stay connected with high school friends and I wouldn’t take it personally. I’m 25 and all my friends with no kids never ask to hangout anymore since I been pregnant.

My husband did but only the single ones
