Just Super Annoyed...

Anyone else here announce their pregnancy on facebook, and all your friends are "happy" for you, but months later you see on the news feed that they liked one of those memes, specifically with Agent Smith from the Matrix, dodging bullets, and the caption reads, "All my friends are getting pregnant and I'm just here...."

And the picture speaks for itself.

They know you can see their likes, so I wonder sometimes if they do that to **** me off or something. Like I know this is silly, but, its almost like they're trying to get your attention and hurt your feelings, or rub it in that they're not preggo like you.

And next thing you know, you're no longer talking or hanging out cause a baby is just too inconveniant for them. Iunno, its just been on my mind and it bothers me people think they're above pregnancy...

I have friends that never want kids but like other people's children. I have posted that meme before to make fun of myself because I had lots of friends who were having babies and my husband and i weren't yet. I have friends that want kids one day that also post it because they are in school or working on their career. All of these are totally fine and are not meant to upset me and when I posted it my prego friends thought it was funny. It's like #mamamacmurtry said, we can't take everything personally

And its completely normal for mothers to actually be busier and not have as much in common as people without kids. Get some more friends with children because people without kids wont relate to u as much. Its just natural.

Its not meant to say they dont appreciate their friends and babies. Its simply just a joke saying that THEY arent having kids because they havent yet. It doesnt mean they dont want u to have a baby. It has nothing to do with that. That would be like u saying that they should have a baby when they arent ready. Dont take offense to it.

I am 18wks and like memes and post like this just for fun even though I am with child. Well I am yet to post my pregnancy on Facebook and don't intend to. I am 28, old enough to be pregnant,  so it's not that I am ashamed to be pregnant.  I just feel it's no one's business especially not facebook and instagram's business lol. I actually posted something about not chilling because That's how you make "chill"dren cuz the meme is so funny. I am not the sensitive one and I have always been a private person. I guess some of my friends will have to be okay with seeing my baby before seeing a baby bump picture and pregnancy post lol. I only told close friends and family, people that will always be there and still want my preggo sef around :D

All my family & close friends knows about it but I haven't posted it on Facebook yet.  Im on baby #3 now :)  its like 3 girls in my family pregnant now and we all know but didn't put it on Facebook. But oddly enough one of my friends changed her # & stopped talking to me when i told her. Its the first I can remember.  All my friends either have children or love children and didn't change.

As a mom to be you ladies gotta understand maybe they are just getting annoyed by our baby talks all the time. Im military just moved dont have any friends lol but I remember how annoying those pregnant women were and the ones with babies! Gosh I tried avoiding them all the time because things that they toight were cute didnt really do it for me. I dont think your friends are avoiding you because they just are jelaous or dont like you any more they are probably tired of your baby talks because they cant relate to it. Thats why women with kids hang out with women with kids. I know I annoy people with my puppy talks. I have 3 dogs and I love them to death and post pictures of the all the time and people get annoyed. Only other people with dogs understand that. So dont be too harsh on your friends.

Exact same thing happened to me.
I guess, they were only my drinking friends..  because now? They all go out, post pictures and I used to feel bad up until I broke it off with them (I guess to protect myself) and other drama and feel much better.

Awww no don't take it the wrong way!
My friend even tagged me in it, I thought it was funny lol. What happens there's a time when all you hear, all these people are pregnant and then that one person does not even have a bf, or nothing too serious so they feel identified.
Nothing wrong with that...

Get caught up in our feelings and they're just missing the friend they once had. Some are secretly wishing they were pregnant with you. If they are true friends everything will come full circle for you all

I think its more than the pregnancy. I think its the mood swings and the fact that we aren't as willing to get up and go the way we use to. After i had my first baby I didn't hang out with my friends as much because my properties changed. Once I became comfortable in my routine I then worked time in for them. I never was upset about the remarks they made but I did often times get lonely.  We tend to

I think you're being waaaay to sensitive & should chalk it up to hormones. Chances are-they just thought it was a funny meme and it never even entered their mind that someone would be offended. Shrug it off. You're right though, a lot of people without babies end up checking out of the friendship after you have a wee one. Its usually a two way street through. You'll be more busy with the baby & your new little family & they don't feel like there's any place in that for a single friend whose life is just continuing as it was. Its hard to keep those friendships going, but it can be done. You just both have to put in the time & effort & try not to be offended if you drift apart for awhile. Its expected during the transition stage, while you both figure out the new schedules & routines. Try not to take everything so personally & you'll be fine. The people who really matter will stick around, I promise, even if its a little different.

@babykiefer2014; yeah, my group of friends is all parties and drinking, shoot, they were the first ones to get me wasted for the first time at age 25. (Srsly never drank before that in my life.) Now they just stop asking me to go or do anything with them. And they post pictures and stuff all the time, and I feel just... SO left out. They pretty much are my only friends. :I

@dollface7; yeah, i used to laugh at that too. When i first saw it, it was funny, but it keeps popping up more and more on my news feed. I'm prolly being emotional and thinking too much of it. Lol

@jesKelley; my thoughts exactly!

I think those post are funny! But I know what u mean by not talking anymore.  It seems like all my friends ever wantwe me around for was to drink. Now that I an pregnant none of those talk to me or hang out but when I post something bout the baby they are all "happy" I take it as they are jealous but then again im 22 and just starting life and now they are out there doing what I should be and instead I'm getting ready for my family. But atleaat I have the best fiancĂ© and father to be to our girl ever

Omgs all the time.
Fake friends!!
if they can't hang out with you after you have a child then they aren't real friends to begin with!

My sister liked that post. But i didn't think of it as a bad thing. I thought it was funny although some friends of mine are also having babies.
For some reason every now and then i get the feeling that more women are getting pregnant these days than we're aware of. I could be wrong though of course.
