Is my friend lying about her symptoms?
I know this title sounds wrong and I do feel wrong thinking this way. I just been thinking about this a lot lately. So basically I got pregnant last year in January. I was chatting back and forth with my best friend about my symptoms I was experiencing prior to taking a pregnancy test. I remember telling her I felt weird and tired suddenly and so nauseous. She said “ omg you’re doing too much. You’re over thinking the symptoms you’re just sick and stressed out. You’re not pregnant” and the next day, bam 💥 I got a positive. She said “ oh wow you were right” and congratulated me. I’ll be honest, I didn’t really get much support from her as a friend during my pregnancy and now that I had my baby girl. I understand because were all adults now and well she wasn’t pregnant nor had been a parent herself. So She just found out she was pregnant at 3 weeks. That entire week she was texting me back to back telling me the exact same symptoms I remember I was experiencing( the symptoms she said I exaggerated). She said that she was going to let her boss know asap because she stands all day at work and doesn’t want to hurt the baby. That same week she bought two pregnancy pillows because she said her back was hurting and her feet were getting swollen. She’s now 8 weeks and had her first ultrasound with her dr and said so far everything looks good and healthy. I asked her if she wanted to go to a pumpkin patch with my little family next month and she said she’s definitely not going because she’s been nauseous and will for sure be nauseous by then still. I asked if I could go visit her for a bit later too once she feels better. She said “ sure but it’s not like before where you leave till 1am. I am tired by 6pm so I can only offer two hours of my time during the day” . She texted me today to let me know she was going to ask to take aspirin because she knows she might get preeclampsia? I remember I told her the first time I felt kicks around 18 weeks I believe and she said “ you’re not even showing yet that’s just gas” and here she is texting me at 8 weeks of her pregnancy saying “ I felt my first kick” . Ughh I feel like a bad friend thinking this way but I think I’m just butt hurt that she never cared about how I felt. I care about her though so I’m always making sure she’s good regardless.
