So my best friend hasn't even told me congrats or she's happy for me since I told her I'm pregnant, I'm so confused I thought she would be happy for me. What should I do??

Question

I'm just so confused on why she isn't happy for me, we have always been close , she's like a sister to me. Has anyone else had this happen to them ?

Answer

When my best friend told me she was pregnant....I had a miscarriage only a month before that so I told her what happened so she knew why I wasn't overly excited for her and she understood! Maybe your bestfriend has some issues of her own so I would talk to her!

Answer

I think Caitlin is right... She's jealous.  I had a similar experience with my best friend of 10 years, and unfortunately the friendship has ended (for many reasons I won't get into).
​I never really felt she was happy for me when I got engaged, then married.  And when I told her the news I was pregnant I barely got a reaction.  My mother asked her to help invite the guests to the baby shower (our mutual friends, that my mom did not have contact info for) and when it came time for the shower, it turned out she hadn't bothered to pass on the invite!
​For me that was the last straw and I stopped talking to her.
​I do miss her though!  If you value your friendship and don't want it to end, find a way to talk to her.

Answer

There could be a chance that at some point she had a miscarriage, and just didn't tell anyone. Some of the feelings may be coming up now.

Answer

She's probably a little jealous.

Answer

Maybe she's struggling in some way. I would talk to her. I was TTC for about 3 mos when my BFF got pregnant on the first try. I was bummed a little but also super excited for her. I ended up pregnant now the month before she gave birth lol

Answer

If she is your best friend I imagine that deep down you know why. Maybe she would have liked the same for herself, maybe she doesn't approve of your choice of partner or the circumstances, or maybe she is not the type who likes babies. As best friends, you should be able to talk openly. I know my best friend isn't really into children. She congratulated me and asks how I am doing, but I know better than to "bother" her with a bunch of baby talk. And I am totally fine with that. It will be her job to tell me if I ever turn into obsessive super mom. 😄

Answer

If she is your best friend, you should be able to (and probably should) talk to her.
