best friend acting weird?

So four years ago i moved away from home to be with my now husband. I left family and friends and i havent seen my bff since but we still talked. A lot at first then just got less and less. Now we moved back closer to my family (my family is a better support system for the baby the my family in law) and i tried to reunite eith my bff. Everything was awesome and she was the same old girl i knew from highschool until i told her i was pregnant......now she never ever talks about my pregnancy or the baby or anything for that matter. It feels like shes just not comfortable talking to me now :( i saw her at her work yesterday and i had no idea what to say. She just very akwardly smiled and said hi. Has anyone experienced a distance with there friends once they found out about the pregnancy? It just feels like years and years of friendship was broken because im pregnant? Is it the idea of the baby thats freaking her out?

I agree, why use your energy to keep it alive if they won't. I hope your breakfast goes okay and that you two have a chance to set things straight or at the very least get some sort of closure and understanding.

From what i know shes never had a pregnancy unless shes hiding it. I have tried to keep my pregnancy a far away subject and dont talk about it but shes still distant. I mean i love her, shes my best friend since highschool, but im not going to bend over backward for her. I dont know if its mean to say that but im the kinda friebd that tries really hard until the other just gives up. I dont go running around kissing peoples a s s just to please them :S well i invinted her to have breakfast tomorrow at Cora's so i guess ill see whats going on. Maybe im just reading too much into it and we just grew apart.

When u get married or pregnant u always lose friends I guess it has to do with ur both in different places in ur lives and want different things and when ur prego u see the world differently so maybe with out knowing ur acting different also im not saying in a bad way but ur priorities are different then hers and u probably wanna talk abouy ur pregnancy all day and since she doesnt have kids she probably has no idea what to see but if its a real friendship it should be able to overcome pregnancy so try taking the first step and talking to her

Is it possible your friend had a miscarriage or gave a baby up for adoption, or is trying to conceive? Maybe you being pregnant brings up bad feelings for her and she's having trouble coping?
My best friend got pregnant a couple weeks after I did, we found out the same week, and she decided her best option was an abortion, it made things a bit difficult because I felt bad bringing up my pregnancy and it took us a while to get comfortable with each other after dealing with both of our emotions, but we did. It might not be what is going on with your friend, but some friends can last through thick and thin, and some friends are there for a certain amount of time to teach you certain lessons in life. You just have to figure out which friend she will be. Try writing her a letter to reconnect with her.
