People šŸ™„

Has anyone found that people just werenā€™t bothered for nearly the whole pregnancy, but when you get close to your due date everyone flocks back? Iā€™m having this problem, Iā€™ve been so alone this whole pregnancy and now Iā€™m 37+2 and everyone seems to be crawling back into my life since something excitingā€™s happening. Itā€™s a horrible feeling, I just feel as thought myself isnā€™t enough ā˜¹ļø I have the mindset that they donā€™t deserve to meet my baby since they havenā€™t been there for me, but Iā€™m a massive people pleaser and just donā€™t think Iā€™ll stick with it šŸ˜© Any advice?

Yep I had this! From about 38 weeks I was getting messaged everyday asking if she was here yet. Wheb everyone found out I had her, for a good 3/4 days straight I was constantly being messaged asking how she is etc. Iā€™m now 8 days pp barely hear from anyone now! Itā€™s crazy xx

@Ellie wow thatā€™s such a quick turnaround, people are awful, only there when itā€™s exciting to them. itā€™s such a horrible feeling isnā€™t it, iā€™m only 18 so my friends have told me that they donā€™t hang out with me since i canā€™t drink šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø nasty people honestly. hope you and baby are doing well!! x

I was the same and then those same people that came flooding back just before the due date disappeared quickly after my son was born. It gives you a very good indicator of who your real friends are. Once your baby is here you will become a lioness and wonā€™t care about anyone other your baby. Seriously donā€™t give them a second thought, if they canā€™t be bothered to give you their time, donā€™t give them yours. You will soon have a best friend for life. Xx

@Ellie Common story sadly x

Yeah sorry love I'm not saying you're gonna lose all your friends. But now you're going to be a mum your priorities will no doubt change. You can still go out and or enjoy the same things but obviously you have to plan stuff. Don't worry about other people just look forward to that lovely baby

I'm 19 with a 10 week old if you'd like to message me to talk about stuff. Even with friends who don't usually drink anyways it's been pretty distant. And even one particular coworker who was downright nasty to me has suddenly tried to become my bestie since late pregnancy and after he was born, because she loves babies. Just gotta stay true to who actually supported you throughout and who respects you now.

Oh hell yeah. I had a friend decide that I couldnā€™t go out with her because I was pregnant so I wasnā€™t invited on nights out, and then she messaged on my due date asking if I was in labour, continued for a few days and then once my son was born and a week old asked me if I wanted to go to a party with her if I could find a baby sitteršŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ now heā€™s two weeks old she is back to being her flakey self

@Ryan sounds lush šŸ¤£ jog on honey

Oh yeah! During my whole pregnancy only my 2 best friends and my mum have helped me through it yet suddenly everyone else wants to jump in Iā€™ve set boundaries tho and my parents are helping me with those people who donā€™t understand how to respect that. Iā€™ve had people Iā€™ve not spoke to since before I got pregnant offer to be my birthing partner šŸ˜‚ like what

@Yog best part was when she said if I ever needed a baby sitter I could ask her so I joked with my mum about her being free that nightšŸ˜­
