As for me, I'm the one who has completely taken myself off of social media. I shut everything down. The people who really care have reached out to me text and calls instead of just lurking on around on social media. That's how I was able to see who really are my friends.

I've had the same thing happening to me, and the ones that stay seem to mostly only care about baby updates or belly pics etc, and not the other life things I post about lol.

Having the same issue. The only friends I have are ones I made while pregnant because they were pregnant or people I've known but never been close to that has a baby. It's crazy. I've snapped on my friends so many times because they don't even invite me out to eat when they go. But they say it's cause they think of me as a family girl now that I don't want to do anything and it's because I can't. They invited me our drinking and said I can be the DD? Who does that. But get mad when I tell them they're not the "aunts" to my son if they can't if come around and spend time with me. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Tons of people deleted me on Facebook and unfollow me on instagram now because almost all that I post about is just of my daughter lol. Doesn't bother me though. She's the light of my life. ☺️

I'm a young FTM so all of my "friends" are out partying all the time, I don't really hear from any of them unless I send a text/message first...I just kinda gave up haha. My bestfriend though still contacts me and we see eachother often so I know it's someone who really cares about me and I'd rather have one good friend then a ton who don't want anything to do with me because I'm pregnant and about to have my son :p

I feel this way at times too! But, I try to remind myself that were all busy with our own lives! And a lot of my friends may just not be able to relate to what I'm going through so they shy away. I know before being pregnant I always felt a little awkward around my pregnant friends, unsure of what to say and such. Maybe that's it?

Through having a miscarriage and now being nearly 20 weeks pregnant, my best friend of 15 years has asked how I am maybe three times. If someone supposedly so close to me doesn't give a shit.. I don't expect my other friends too! I've got one or two friends still and that's enough for me. I've got a best friend in my partner and my brother. They along with my son are all I need xx
