losing friends?

I feel that the further ive gotten in my pregnancy the fewer friends i have. Everyones just disappearing left and right. Im 38 weeks today and i can count my friends with 1 finger. Anyone else dealing with feeling so alone?

I could care less about drinking and partying, which we didnt do much of to begin with. But I guess now that its getting more and more real to them they cant handle it.

Everything was fine up until a few weeks ago, wed have date nights and game nights with our couple friends. But now the closer I get the less I hear from them, im 25 and this shouldnt matter, but ive spent the past 2-3 years with these people and now theyre just gone...

yupp! it seems to be a part of pregnancy. could probably call it a symptom ha!
its good to open your eyes to your real friends tho. if any there at all. i mean i dont expect to be joint at the hip but we all remember the days before we werre pregnant. life doesnt revolve around alcohol.. some people need to grow up evidently. ahh i dont care. im happy not drinking. i cant wait to be a mother and wait for them to all come running bk and im just gonna turn my head like they did me.

I know how you guys feel. I try so hard to make friends with my fiancés friends cause the people I thought were my friends all started acting weird with me when I told them I was pregnant. My girl best friend does nothing but party and drink and my guy best friend works all the time. It gets lonely and depressing, especially when I get told im up my fiancés *** all the time....if only people truly understood. ...especially with all these hormones it makes it sooo much worse. ):

Definitely can relate! I don't know how old you are or how your friends are, but I think me loosing friends when I became pregnant was due to me having to grow up much faster and not being able to sit around and drink with them anymore, etc. Which I really could care less about now because obviously those people weren't my real friends then and I don't plan on partying after my baby is born so they won't be my friends then either. I just tell myself that I have my real friends figured out now and I have a baby on the way who deserves so much more of my time then some fake person pretending to carw, my son will always love me.

I feel you I have my one best friend but we don't hangout as much cause I can't party or drink. Most of the time I just hangout with my husband and when he with his friends I'm lonely *** hell atleast you almost over I still have 108 days.

I feel ya! Haven't had many close friends to begin with. My best friend's boyfriend has a 4 year old. And she wants to be a mom as soon as they can afford a baby. I thought she would be someone who I could count on to just talk to about general baby things, but it hasn't worked out that way. If it's not about her she doesn't generally care. It's disappointing. But it's better to learn who your friends are now..
