Does anybody feel as if some of their friendships have changed since having a baby? I’m finding even this with the ones who have had baby’s recently too. We are so busy with our own we just don’t have time to see each other/speak to each other. I also feel some friendships have faded as they haven’t really checked in much and we’re on different pages now. I’d like to make new friends but I also feel my confidence is totally shot and I’m exhausted most of the time. I’m normally quite sociable and outgoing so this all feels a bit alien to me.

One of my "best friends" hasn't even met my 6 month old daughter yet. That friend-ship has certainly sailed for me! No excuse not to spare an hour for a coffee

My best friend of almost 20 years and I have faded since I told her I was pregnant (Im almost 4 months pp)
She has a kid thats almost 13 - she never wanted kids but got pregnant in our early 20s. She was a single mom for years.
I think a part of her distancing herself is jealous that I got to experience my 20s then chose to have a child with a good supportive husband.
She saw me once my whole pregnancy and has met my son at 10 wks old. The rare times we do text, I always ask about her son and step kids, she has never once asked about my son or how Im doing with motherhood.
