losing friends because of pregnancy

So I've seen some posts on here about people having their friends turn their backs on them when they get pregnant ...I never thought any of my friends would care either way (and don't get me wrong, some of them don't) but I had an old friend msg me tonight to see how I was and to tell me he was in town visiting..I told him I've been good and that I'm expecting a baby, hes like Ohh so I guess you don't wanna come get drunk then? I'm like..umm no, babies don't generally enjoy booze..and then he never msgd me back...like seriously? That suck s! Owwy lol some friends are some rude!

I find alot of my friends have vanished since they found out. It has made this experience pretty sad but oh well shows who your true friends are.
Mostly I hate how my babies dad claims his given up alot yet we r not together he still has complete freedom n he does nothing for our son. Haha :)

I thought I had that problem at first. Sometimes you don't really lose that friend, they just don't know how to treat the situation. My best friends were all a bit wary of inviting me out at first, but they got used to the idea. Now we make plans that I can be included it. It's all about how much you compromise. If they can't take some time out of drinking for a night to go shopping or even a movie, then they don't deserve your attention anyway!

I get along with guys so much better sometimes, but since I've been pregnant I never see them anymore and I feel so left out. I try to work them into my life but they're too busy chasing girls and partying. I spend most of my time with my bf and we have gotten a lot closer. He's the one keeping me happy.

See I'm 30 years old. I just don't fit in w most ppl. The one military wife was my bf and she and hubby divorced so she moved away. I'm so lonely. I do classes online and don't work. My two boys are in sports but none of the moms and I seem to click

To be honest I don't go out nearly as much as I used to I spend most of my time working and in school. It ***** cause everyone around me is out partying and frankly Im not into that anymore. Sometimes I get so lonely but then I realize that you find those few people that stick by your side and they mean the most :)

Dude, I totally feel you. One of my exes was like "hey, I'm in town for the weekend, where are some good parties at?" and I told him that I didn't know, that I was pregnant and he goes "so, pregnant people still party and get drunk" REALLY?

Yeah, I have some friends that are older and have kids who are in highschool so they are suuuper pumped for me to have a baby, so I mostly hangout with them lol but i don't really mind it all that much, just hurts when you are so obviously shunned or whatever lol

Lol I kno what you mean. My friends feel like its a waste of time to even invite me out anymore. With 2 kids and 1 on the way, I can't just pick up and go whenever I feel like it. Being a young mom is hard when our age group is still in their partyin stage lol
