Why do friends seem to disappear when your pregnant?

Yes, I had a friend that I had kept since high school (I'm 36)As soon as I told her I was pregnant, she stopped calling. I tried calling her and her husband would make up excuses that she wasn't home. It took me a while, but I realized that she as never my true friend anyways. It still hurt to lose her though. I later found out that she was jealous of my marriage and my pregnancy. Nothing to be jealous of, just be happy with me, ya know?? Really, you don't need them. Good thing you found out now as opposed to later after you brought them into your baby's life.

for whatever reasons it might be try to not make yourself feel depress or have any sad feelings on your best cause that can actually effect the baby feeling too...think positively on anything,ahve a good and great feeling everyday by telling yourself "well...Its a great day for me again!"first thing in the morning when you wake up and that will help a lot for both you and the baby within the whole pregnancy period.try to listen some light music cause that can always help you to relax:)

I think most of your friends want you to have more rest and thus they don't want to disturbing you:)

I think a lot of the time friends think that once you are pregnant that you two won't have the interests. Which is not necessary true. I mean things will change but change is good at times.

Yep. and i knew it aws gonna happen because i watched them do the same thing to two of our friends that were pregnant before me. I guess its cz your life is reaching a point thiers hasnt yet??....

keep your chin up - start looking for new friends with kids - friends with kids and friends without do spend a lot of time hanging out - they lose a lot of the things they had in common.

When I was pregnant I still went out to clubs with my friends..I couldn't drink..but I still could have fun. You need to go out and have some fun BEFORE the baby is born!

havnt got pregnant yet..and wont be able to..but at least I wont do such a thing..definitely..they need supprt at that time the most.....

It's happened to ALL OF US! It's like you've caught a contagious desease! I'm 43 now, and old enought to look back on it and laugh, but yes hon, its common. You'll make new friends down the road. Especially in your childbirth classes! Good luck!

unfortunatly its not just being pregnant, its after baby comes too, your now on different levels and lifestyles all of a sudden. My son is 10 months and only 3 of my previouse 10 friends or so have even seen my son. Thats why Us moms have to find eachother and support eachother. Try looking up a local moms group to find new like minded, family orientated friends

I am hearing this for the first time.Well its too sad to hear such things.

well i have no experience

Yes, my friends don't call me anymore either, they exclude me from their going out time just cause I can't drink, I can still have fun though but I guess they don't get it, only a couple of my friends hang out with me no matter what, I guess i know who my friends are now

Yeah it happened with a few people. But no one really disappered they just were'nt around much like they use to be. I couldn't hang out with them as much either, didn't want to be in the clubs or bars and that's what they did often. I found other activities to keep myself busy, find a group to join, a moms to be club or something of the sort and make new friends with your intertests also.

i had that problem I dont know why they do it though. and then after I had my son they didnt want to hang out with me anymore. They said I had changed and I agree my son is more important then going out and having a drink but that doesnt mean we still shouldnt be friends

i know the feeling. To start with I used to get invited out, even tho I used to say no, it was still nice to be asked. But now I look like a hippo, the invites have dried up and I'm feeling very left out!
