Expecting a baby = Bye bye friends?
Okay, maybe it's just the pregnancy hormones making me feel depressed, but I was wondering if anyone else was in the same boat. Prepregnancy we had quite the social life, we had people over to our house or went to other people's houses 5-7 days a week. Then came the first tri where I was really sick and and to exit the social scene. Now that 2nd tri is almost over, it seems like none of the friends I was once close to want to hang out anymore. It is almost as if they are pushing us away because we are going into a different life stage. Anyone else experienced this?

well its good that you were entertaining people for such a long time but i think u should give that to someone else.. my friends were supportive and every time i would see them they would tell me to relax and even made dinner for me. this time as i well i am 23 weeks pregnant and i just spoke to a very good friend and she asked me to come over for dinner on sunday..i have a 23 month old son and he is very naughty and she doesnt have kids but it hardly matters to her.. she just wants to give me a break. i did make a lot of new friends after having my son but luckily a lot of my friends had babies around my son's time so i ended up spending more time then i thought i would.
if it goes on you have to let go of it and find new friends. believe me once the baby comes you would want to spend time with people who have kids so that you can learn more about taking care of a child. see around..maybe you do have some friends like that.

Wow, that's pretty sad, actually. If your friends don't want to hang out with you because you're having a child, you seriously need to get some new friends. My best friend has the most horrible 4 year old and that has never stopped us from getting together! Maybe this is a good thing for you and you'll get to reevaluate your relationships.

i was the first in our circle to get pregnant. My son is three moths old. With our group we ended up missing out on most of hanging out while I was pregnant. Mostly because all we used to do was hang out in bars. Then i was pregnant couldn't drink. Now i am nursing, can't really drink. They may just be getting used to the idea that it could be them next. But now that mine's a bit older we just have our friends over just before his bedtime, after his last feeding. They get to see him for 20 minutes or so before he goes to sleep. Then we all hang out.

I went through this too. they stop talking to you because your entering a new stage and eventually they will get there too. if not you will make new friends who also have children and know that it's a little different once you have a little one.

i had a toddler bathe with my 2nd and 0.33 toddlers First i did no longer as no kinfolk the place I lived in any respect yet all of them despatched presents while she replaced into born and formerly, 2nd one I planned myself on account that I neglected out the 1st time on the right toddler bathe social gathering in spite of the undeniable fact that it replaced into in basic terms small with 10 people and the 0.33 one replaced right into a ask your self thrown by employing my SIL, i replaced into no longer anticipating to have yet another one in spite of the undeniable fact that it replaced into very welcomed! there's a distinction to having a toddler bathe and purely inquiring for presents regardless of the undeniable fact that. people are very probable to get you issues once you have your woman offspring of direction, yet in my view i could no longer deliver them a registry record and anticipate them to purchase off it. I do think of that comes accross as somewhat grasping. What i'd do is A) fly domicile for a bypass to with your son. it is going to likely be superb to make certain anybody and for them to make certain you once you're pregnant and likewise see your son and according to danger ask your mum to hold a tub for you on a similar time as you're there as a mixture toddler bathe/get closer kinfolk affair. That way you may deliver out the registry record with the invites for the bathe as according to accepted yet people are there in guy or woman to grant you the presents and its no longer so cheesy Or B) once you communicate to people casually drop into the communique which you extremely choose some outfits, sheets, blankets etc..for a girl as each and every thing you have is for a boy. upload in what topic you're doing interior the nursery and all tha so with a bit of luck you will get despatched presents for the toddler while she arrives that are ideal to what you decide on in short tho, i do no longer think of its okay to deliver out a registry record in case you're no longer having a ideal toddler bathe
