I've lost several friends not when I became pregnant but when i started dating my husband. I noticed they wouldn't invite me to do activities with them, when I was always the first one to be invited and it's not like "he wouldn't let me go" because he is not that type. I think what it was, that he's white and everyone else of Mexican descent.
I used to feel bad, seeing all their photos of activities on Facebook and me or us not be in them, and I cut ties with them...
I'm lonlier, but feel better about not being excluded anymore... I think it was a defense mechanism.  

Whatever...

I use to have lots of friends too, but they stop hittin me up. Then I had friends here in the state I live, but my bf scared em all away cause supposly they weren't good friends. I honestly have one friend who sorts of talks to me here n there other then that my mom n sister are only ppl in my life.

Just means they weren't true friends to begin with. You're better off without them. I haven't lost any, I've only gained. We're all around the same age and some older than me. They understand I have a family to care of and that's my priority. We may not see each other as much but we keep in contact and get together when we can. (With or without my kids attached)

I purposely dropped some friends. Sometimes its better to keep the drama out of your life in such a precious time. I know it ***** but maybe its not such a bad thing. Besides, if they were truly your friends, they wouldn't have ever left your side in such an important time in your life! Take it as weeding out the bad ones early! Your baby doesn't need to grow up around them anyway.

When I was pregnant with my son I really didn't have that many but late in pregnancy they would make plans like go to amusement parks and my one friend wanted me to go horseback riding when I was 39 weeks after I had him they would try to include me but I had to take care of my son and my husband was always working so they just stopped talking to me. They only wanna talk if they want something and I just ignore them.

I never really had any to start with but since ive been pregnant and cant go out anymore nobody atall bothers...im always sat in on my own with nothing to do and nobody to talk to. The only time 'friends' bother is when they want a favour from me.
Its not nice but you realise who you can trust in life and who will stand by you

Not so much when I was pregnant but about a month after the baby was born I realised all of my friends disappeared. I tried joining a mothers group and stuff but hard when baby wasn't sleeping and crying all the time. Now I'm just kind of used to it.
