random ?

When my friend was preggers I was by her side every step of the way. Took her to appointments, helped with the shower, took her around as needed, ect. I was always around or a phone call away.  Now since I've been pregnant 7 months I've seen her a handful of times and that's because stopped by her place. Should I tell her about herself after I have the baby or just leave it alone? It hurts because I did so much during her pregnancy especially since her bd was a jerk to her. Now since they are fine and together I hardly hear from her

I agree u should talk to her. I feel a similar way with my good friend. Except my friend has sickle cell anemia which is a horrible chronic disease. She use to be in the hospital once a month every month. I would drive her to the hospital & appts when her husb wasn't there & mind u I would do this with my new baby. I have been stuck on bed rest since 20weeks and have not gotten one visit. The phone calls are when I call her & conversation seems to be surrounded by her. So I realize people are busy but if she is a good friend whether she has a boyfriend or baby she should be able 2 make time for you. That's the kind of friend I am.

Maybe you should at least concider how she feels now? I mean she has a baby that needs her attention and love and support 24/7 maybe she doesn't have room to be by your side like you were for her when you weren't pregnant, just give it some time

You two are different people and each make your own choices..if you decided to be her support while  she was preggers , that's great .but maybe now that she's got a baby maybe it's harder for her to get around to help you. You could always try making plans or asking for help when you need it. Some people need to be told they are needed and can't read your mind. I hope this helps.
