friends

Is anyone else struggling with their friends? A lot of mine are still in the college drinking phase. (I'm only 22.) I try to keep them updated with baby girl but they don't seem to care. I'm also the only one married out of all of them.

I got pregnant with my first at a really young age so it was really hard to understand why my friends didn't hang out with me anymore but now that I'm on baby #2, 18yo, it doesn't bother me anymore. My childrens father is honestly my only friend. Lol

Every person that was my friend before I got pregnant is no where to be found . I guess its safe to say I don't have any friends and plus I'm only 19 so I know they have other things they're doing . lol its cool though . its like you find out who your real friends are when you're pregnant.

Yeah exactly. They just don't realize something so small can make such a huge impact on your life.

My sister in law has 2 kids and my husband's step brothers wife is pregnant so I have them but I do miss my friends. But i wouldn't trade my baby girl for anything. If they wanna be there, great! If not, their loss. They're losing me in the process of not being there for me. :/

I honestly lost all my friends too. I got pregnant right when I turned 21 so the fact that I can go out n drink makes them ignore me. They randomly text me and I try to have a convo with them but seems they only message to ask for a favor. I just started hanging out with my boyfriends friends girlfriend who is older than me with a one year old and it seems to be going as a good friendship.

Yeah i kinda figured I'd need to find new ones. I've been friends with these girls for 8 years so it's kinda hard to let go. I hardly ever see them because all they do is go to bars so I try and txt to start conversation and I get 0 responses. I think i have maybe 3 people that actually care besides family. Lol

You probably want to reach out to other potential friends.  You'll be able to connect with lots of other new moms when your baby comes - and they will become your new set of friends.  

The truth is,  although they care about you your pregnancy is probably a little boring to them.  When you hang out with other pregnant women,  they LOVE to talk about pregnancy and babies.
