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!!!

Things change unfortunately.
Especially when you have Kids and they don't.
This has happened to me with friends
This also includes my middle sister ,we have nothing in common anymore .I'm a mum and do mummy things /mummy responsibility
Not a single person like her . Who does " single stuff" im plus 1 now

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.
