Pregnancy Info HOME

I felt like I was losing my best friend when she became pregnant at the age of 18. We were attached at the hip and then all of a sudden she fell off the radar and it was all about her new little family. I was depressed as well and going through rough teenage years and really needed her....but we were on two different levels at that point. All I can say is that with time, everything comes full circle. My friend and I are still best friends till this day and are as close as ever. It is normal for friendships to go through cycles. In the mean time, you need to seek counseling for your underlying issues and wait for your friend to come around. If she never comes back around then she was never a friend to begin with. Focus on yourself to make yourself better, and dont rely on others for your happiness! Good luck!

I know I may not say what you want to hear since I guess I'd be your "pregnant friend", but I kinda know what you're saying. I never had many friends growing up and boyfriends are pretty non-existent too. I've battled depression and suicide all my life (for many reasons), but finally got a hold of myself couple years back with the help of an awesome councilor and self-acceptance. But then I got pregnant and everything fell out from under me. There was a time where this pregnancy was the only thing keeping me alive. Believe it or not, my friends all left me. Every single one of the few I had. Your friend may feel insecure and unworthy of your friendship. Her hormones are going out of control so she will not necessarily make the best decisions. I suggest to just wait till the pregnancy is over and the baby is here. But then keep in mind that she'll be busy taking care of the baby. She needs a true friend beside her, especially now. Though that may not mean hanging out on weekends; just let her know you're there.
