Different stages of life in friendship group

My close friendship group consists of 4 girls we've been friends since secondary/primary school. I've got a newborn and another of us is due in July. In our group chat etc of course we talk about pregnancy and babies a lot. 2 of the other girls are struggling with their mental health (same) and one in particular is having a hard time after a break up and dealing with being single in her mid 30s. The other 2 childless friends have made some shitty comments and there have been some negative vibes to the point where I feel like I can't talk about anything baby related or I'll annoy them. Comments like "oh are you pregnant, I didn't know' and when one of them missed the other girls pregnancy announcement in person 'I'm glad I wasn't there i wouldn't have been able to fake being happy today'
I wondered if anyone else experienced things like this. I don't want to lose them as friends but I also have to talk about my daily reality which obviously involves a baby!!!

This also includes my middle sister ,we have nothing in common anymore .I'm a mum and do mummy things /mummy responsibility

This comes with having kids and age. I would say there's a bit of immaturity and bitterness in the group chat and it has less to do with being in different places so much as it has to do with them just being miserable and unable to be happy for their friends.

Baby talk can get old when you're not in that space or stage, but their responses are just rude.

who here scoops the 🩸 out when they’re on their period???

was having a conversation with my friend (we’re both on our periods rn) and she’s a “scooper” which is when apparently some women when they start their periods go up in themselves and scoop all the uterine lining out so their period is only like 2-3 days long. I AM NOT A SCOOPER i never heard of it before this but it makes me curious to try and wondering if anyone else does and likes it or what 😆❤️

Friends?!?

So I've been on this app for a hot minute. I've talked to alot. Connected with even fewer. I am a full on mom. I have makeup..but do it sparingly. I let my hair do it's own thing most of the time. Putting pants on that don't stretch is a chore I don't need in my life. Fashion is ok but I choose comfort. I choose coffee and herbal teas over most alcohol these days. I do love a good glass of red wine thought. Hehe. I love dark humor. I laugh when I'm not supposed too. I am awkward and think my jokes are funny when they are not. I also have anxiety that I contestantly fight. I cuss like a sailor and I'm NOT an esthetic mom or perfect. I make mistakes daily. I also read alot including, but not limited to, dark romance and I have long before booktok became a thing. If I sound like your cup of tea with most of my flaws out on the open, message me. Peace love and health to yall.

Dealing with fomo of past life?

I’ve been in bed putting baby to sleep at 5:30pm on a Saturday and all my friends are going to events etc. I love my baby and wouldn’t change her for the world but omg every Saturday eve I get a really depressing feeling bc I can’t just go out. How are you guys dealing with the feeling of missing your old life where you were just free to roam??
