Friendships suffering?!

Hi, has anyone else lost friends after your LO has arrived? Someone I would have considered a best friend (the first friend I told I was pregnant) has completely distanced herself from me. She’s friends with other people who have children but just doesn’t seem to want to spend time with me and my baby. I’m really surprised and hurt by her behaviour but I don’t feel like I can tell her how I feel or if she’ll even care 🤷🏼‍♀️

Not just friends. Family too. Completely isolated since baby arrived. Its really shocked me.

Honestly yes that’s why I downloaded this app I have no friends, im two weeks postpartum and have never felt more alone 😁

It’s going from the feeling like you’re completely understood by family and friends, to the complete opposite. Like not taking into consideration baby into plans. We are writing down in a book everything that people have done/said that have wtf/ pissed us off so we never do it to our friends/children when they have babies.

I noticed it’s a growing up stage. I lost a friend cause she didn’t understand adult friendships, called me out cause I never reached out only for events (my bridal shower, wedding, baby shower). At the same time she’s type of person who lates people interactions, would literally overreact and cause an argument. Said I make excuses. Prior to my son, I worked full time, helped out my mom due to her falling. Maybe it’s for the best our friendship ended, her energy was toxic and draining for me. I’m thankful to have a few close friends. It’s better to let those friends who care about themselves go. It sucks but it’s better in the long run
